About this Pub
Why it's great for Matchdays
A short walk from St Mary’s Stadium, The Grapes is set up for matchdays with Sky Sports and TNT Sports shown on multiple screens inside and outside, creating a busy football atmosphere. The venue’s own page describes a “buzzing matchday crowd” and outdoor TVs, while its Facebook page highlights several large screens carrying Sky and TNT. Local tourism guidance notes it has a strong sports theme and is popular with Saints fans on match days, and older fan guides report Oxford Street (with The Grapes a popular bar) is generally trouble-free and used by away supporters. For travelling fans, it’s in the city centre where away followings typically gather before heading to the ground, making it a convenient neutral meet-up spot near transport and the stadium.

Rooms are always immaculate every time I’ve stayed here and are stocked with everything I could need for my stay! Staff are helpful with any queries and requests. Would definitely recommend ☺️
We came yesterday and haven't checked out yet but feel the need to review now. Rooms are great value for money, everything and more you need is provided.. Out in the corridor in front of the rooms are razors, books, games, sellotape ect. You want for nothing. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Prices in bar good prices. Great location. Plenty of bars and restaurants all next to each other. The only downside is the stairs. Very narrow and steep. If you are young and fit they would be ok but as an unfit oldie not great. Would definitely stay here again. Well worth it
Fantastic stay! We stayed at The Grapes for one night before our cruise from Southampton docks and it was amazing. The staff are so friendly that we ended up staying there all day and night! The bed was so comfortable and the price was incredibly reasonable for the area. The location is fantastic on a quiet street lines with bars and restaurants with tables outside which we made use of with the weather. We are already talking about planning another trip to Southampton to stay here again.
Be aware it can be noisy at night but the rooms and position are brilliant. Would highly recommend if noisy partying isn't too much of an issue.
The only reason for 3 stars on location is because of parking. The room was lovely and clean and fresh.
