Great food. Knowledgeable staff. Good selection of beer. Broad spectrum of humanity in terms of customer which I personally like.
Fav spot The Merchant house. One of the Best Burgers in Pompey with a fantastic selection of Beer!
Delightful food, the mac and cheese were so creamy and delicious, the fries were out of these world. The burger was really really good, I got the briskt one and maybe I needed a bit more flavour contrast because it was veery beefy (this is why I don't give a 5 start completely, I'd give 4.5), but very very good overall!
A modern pub with craft beer in cans and a good selection on draft.The food was really nice too it was served in what I would describe as a plastic basket, but good portions and very tasty. The young people had burgers and fries and I had a Gyros, washed down by a beer. Very light and airy pub with a great atmosphere, the staff are knowledgeable and helpful.
Nice pub, perfect when you want to catch up with your friends and talk. It has two floors, the bar is small, but has everything you need. Nice selection of gins and whiskey. The food is also nice.
Bright and airy. Craft beer choice is constantly changing - and tempting. Food choices are positioned well and definitely keep and eye on their IG account for the mouth watering food pictures. Only thing I don’t like is the noise when it’s reasonably busy (and very busy). Could definitely do with with the sound deadening ceiling foam.
Cracking little craft beer pub, options on keg and Cask. Would have wished for bigger fridges, but it isn't a bottle shop so no points lost. Good range of styles, friendly service, comfortable and clean. Highly recommended
Edit: October 2021 - same applies. An excellent bar serving an array of beers, ales and lagers to suit all tastes. It's a very popular bar during peak hours so be sure to arrive early if you want a table, and also a drink! Staff are friendly and knowledgeable about their offerings. This bar also hosts "Need Street Food" which offers an awesome array of dirty (in a good way) burgers and fries and also a decent Sunday Roast. Also served are a good variety of vegetarian and vegan meals. Definitely worth a try.
