   Usually a decent little pub, come here every now and then. Bar staff are lovely, HOWEVER, last night me and few friends went there for a drink and a sing along. But our night was rudely interrupted by some bald guy, originally he tried getting my mate kicked out cause he was vaping (didn’t warn us). We apologised to the bouncers, vaped outside and thought that was it done. We go back in, go to the bar and the bald guy approaches us again, this time threatening us. We ignore this and try to get on with our night, then all of a sudden the bouncers come over and say we have to leave. We went outside as instructed to, we then got told we had to leave as “it’s easier to have the 4 of you leave than him”. While we’re getting told this, the bald guy then came out and threatened us infront of the bouncers but continued to let this individual stay. 3 of the bouncers were good, but the tall one who wouldn’t give his name was very odd. Kept saying stuff like “you wanna chin him”, just kept referencing fighting and we kept saying no. Not ideal, won’t be bringing people here again.

   Bar staff and Manager Jordan are lovely. Drinks and bar service are prompt and nice. But waited over 45mins for two small bowls of chips and some chicken wings. And they were missing elements from the menu description. Most of the menu wasn't available. And It looked like the chefs were sat in the garden drinking instead of working. Table next to us also waited over 45mins for chips. And the portions of chips are very very small for £5!!!....... would come back for a drinks. But definitely not food.

   Lovely atmosphere with great food and a large selection of drinks. Staff are always extremely friendly and will go the extra mile. Recently refurbed and it looks AMAZING! Cant wait for more visits. Extremely dog friendly too. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

   LJR is definitely one of my favourite pubs in Southsea, normally come here on Thursdays for Karaoke or just to drink with friends at the weekend. Can't fault the prices and all the pub staff are amazing. Love catching up with bartender Jack especially as whenever I go he's always super friendly and we have conversations as if we've known each other for years. Definitely recommend!

   That place has been recommended to my by my friend. I found there a good food and very friendly staff. I was served by Kamila who advised me on food.
