The 30 Best Bar pub in Southampton

“Such a good bottomless brunch! The food and drinks were amazing, and the atmosphere was perfect. Rebecca and Alexandra made the whole experience even better — they were so friendly, attentive, and really made us feel welcome. Definitely recommend and will be coming back soon!”

“A lovely micropub in a shop unit, with a surprising amount of seating space and plenty of excellent beers available. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is also very sociable.”

“Cossy with really friendly staff and atmosphere. Great range of ciders. We had a large group of us and they could not have been more engaging and helpful.”

“Spent a few hours in here. Lovely friendly service and a great choice of beers. Well worth a visit and I'll definitely will be paying another visit the next time I am in Southampton.”

“Our first time visiting fusion noodle. The restaurant was really neat, clean and welcoming. The menu had a lovely range of food. We chose noodle dishes with three other dishes that we shared. The food was delicious. Service was great and the food arrived hot and we didn’t wait long for it. The BBQ ribs blew all the ribs I’ve had before out of the water, seriously great. This is the meal I will remember for a long time, I can’t wait to go back.”

“A well hidden gem with a really laid back atmosphere and super friendly staff. Food is simple but fresh and delicious. A great place to chat and take your time. Will be back for sure.”

“Always busy, great atmosphere. 2 for £13 cocktails all day every day. Staff are polite, crazy busy and really friendly. Always have a good time when we visit.”

“First time here, and its tucked away on one of the backstreets which is quite nice actually. A group of 8 of us walked in and we were able to be seated pretty quickly. I was impressed with the food, the service was initially slow but sped up shortly after. Overall a nice meal and would go back! This restaurant allows you to charge your phone whilst at the table with a portable power bank from in house. That's quite unique and its the first restaurant i have been too which does this. Well done to Smugglers for introducing that.”

“Nice local pub to us and laid back atmosphere. Outside chairs are a bit close to each other so the people behind us kept colliding with us which was a bit annoying but other than that, worth a visit. Nice staff too”

“I absolutely love it here. Been 3 times already. Vegan options are incredible. Food is really tasty. Really great location too as theres loads of parking right next door. Staff are really friendly. Great great pub.”

“Maciej was absolutely amazing. Not only does he serve his customers with the utmost level of professionalism, he even went a step further to make sure that we were all taken care of. He made sure i had enough water to help with my hangover...now tell me, which bartender goes that extra mile. Medbar...this amazing young man deserves a raise.”

“There are words to the outstanding service and the totally amazing food today. We were greeted by the manager, who was so friendly and supported a very happy team. Tiah gave great service and was so helpful, with Nick on the grill doing amazing food. They are a great asset to Miller and Carter, please recognise them in this reviews”

“Cosy, sells nice wines, had nice live music and the ambience music was lovely too. Would recommend”

“So I’ve been coming to this cafe with my partner for some time now, this place has such a nice atmosphere and the service is always amazing! Everyone in that place is always so helpful and nice! Me and my partner recently had a meal there and it was so good! I had the pancakes they were light and fluffy and just so delicious. My partner had the smashed avocado and poached eggs, her being a massive fan of this said the eggs were perfectly poached and the avocado tasted fresh and looked amazing. The whole thing was plated with care and very delicately! I’ve got to say I think they might have a new chef in because even tho the food was good before hand I feel like the food and how the food is presented has improved quite a bit! But all round if you’re looking for a place to chill, chat and relax with some good food I highly recommend this cafe!”

“Amazing pub with so much character and quirky vibes. The live music is amazing too. They support local and up and coming bands so its a great place to hear amazing music and have a pint of local brew.”

“what a place, honestly brought my 7 wives here and i left with 11 wives. this place creates magic in all places, especially to the. yh that place. pretty sure my 4 year old son left with a 27 year old girl aswell. i call this place heaven in chinese.”

“Great food and service went there pre match only 20 minutes away great place for a beer and a bite to eat”

“Went to see wicked for good today at around 1:45pm with my mum who is disabled and uses walking sticks a lovely member of staff called Alex who was around 6ft tall and had brown hair was very kind and saw us struggling carrying our popcorn and our drinks so Alex kindly jumped to lend us a helping hand and carried our drinks for us walked at my mums pace offered to scan our tickets for us and walked us to our seats and put our drinks in our cupholders for us. Alex is an absolute credit to your cinema such a wonderful kind man Also loved the recliner seats super comfy and spacious”

“Harvey and jack are the best doormen! so kind and really care about the customers! Honestly the best night out i’ve had in a while”

“Sanchez is an amazing bar tender! Attentive, friendly, quick and most importantly, personable. Really enjoyed my evening at Orange rooms, greta vibes, great staff!”

“A warm welcome on a cold and wet day. Started with a lovely bottle of delicious Zinfandel wine. The food that followed was divine! The best Chowder I’ve ever had, (better than Boston USA). Sandwiches are lovely too, with pre seasoned fries, scrumptious. My partner’s pulled Beef bourguignon starter and pizza were lovely. Portion sizes are generous. the prices very reasonable. Great selection of food on the menu. Bonus, loving the playlist background music. Lots of free parking, as per signage, you simply need to give your car registration. Lots of outside seating too, (for warmer days). Toilets very clean. We’ll be back for sure. Highly recommend!”

“Excellent dinner and first class service. Highly recommend this restaurant. We especially enjoyed the jackfruit filo pastry parcel. The beer battered cod had a super crispy batter with homemade chips and crushed peas would definitely return to have this again. The presentation was very good. Recommend booking.”

“First visit on our way to Southampton shopping. Very welcoming as soon as we arrived, relaxed atmosphere, very attentive and the food was amazing! We had a couple of the sides which were delicious and the sharing platter, the chicken was cooked to perfection and the lamb chops were the best we've ever tasted!! We will definitely be returning....”

“Came for a friend’s birthday and did bottomless brunch. Food was wonderful, drinks were amazing and service was even better. Beth made sure the drinks were flowing, absolutely fantastic service, thank you! We had a great day!”

“Had two tomahawk steaks, ribs and a rib eye. Food was fantastic and the staff were very helpful. A great spot for a birthday dinner”

“Relaxed pub atmosphere with good food. Meeting friends here for a drink and something to eat now and then. Recommend a visit.”

“Great venue for event The Long Good Friday. Saw a brilliant band called The Hornets”

“We stayed for one night prior to our cruise and we will definitely return. We have stayed in a few Southampton hotels but this is definitely our new place to stay. Beautifully decorated rooms with all the amenities you could need for your stay. Lovely selection of tea and coffee and separate coffee machine in the room. There are a lot of stairs but if you have a high floor this is not a problem with staff to assist you with your suitcases. We had a wonderful dinner from the evening menu with delicious wine. The breakfast was amazing in the morning, you will be stuffed and set for the day. All the staff we encountered were great. Stay here you will you will love it. My husband said it was the most comfortable bed he's ever slept in.”

“The food is excellent, particularly for the vegetarians in our group. With the added bonus of it being Collabfest when we were there, so there were some great new beers to try. Coupled with the friendly staff and the venue being suitable for kids, we spent a fair bit more time here than we anticipated.”

“The drinks are awesome! Honestly one of the best bars in Southampton. The music is great as well as the service :) I would go again! The 2-4-1 deal is perfect for big groups, I would recommend it!!!! Dj Matt is the best 10/10!!”
