The Phoenix in Portsmouth

Superb local pub. Welcoming and some great nooks!

Wonderful local pub that I've somehow missed over the years.Warm and friendly place. Guarantee you will go back

Great little pub with a lovely beer garden

Smaller pubs tend to be much more friendly and The Phoenix is no exception, much more in keeping with pubs of the past, Kath the Landlord knows how to get the ingredients right for a decent pub. Recent refurb and plenty of work to allow seating in the garden and lounge bar has proven a good move. Ale on offer for me was HSB, well kept and pleasant. Double gin and pint of beer £9. Juke box well fed by local Gary who played a good mixture of 50s 70s and 80s. For a Sunday, it was busy. Check this one out.

Great little pub just off the main strip, very kind and friendly staff and owner, lovely to chat with them and offer good recommendations for drinks.The perfect place to meet before or a place to go after a trip to the king's theatre. You may be lucky and bump into the actors/actresses after they have performed!It has a large array of drinks on tap and in spirits at one of the cheapest prices in Portsmouth, especially an amazing selection of Rums, they say about 40 and I'll give it my best to try each one lolThere's also a large beer garden which is great in summer and also some heaters in the winter for the smokers. It's great having a cider during the summer. There's dart boards and some game machines, there's also some interesting local historical artifacts that you can spot too

The Phoenix is something of a Pompey institution. A quality, old-school boozer with excellent atmosphere, a stone's throw from Albert Road and the Kings Theatre (see misc notes & headshots on the walls), regularly full of locals but welcoming visitors. They've got a decent selection of beers, ciders, wines & spirits but a less impressive selection of food, that appeared to consist of jars of cockles &/or whelks or McCoy's crisps on my last visit! Fortunately, we'd eaten before we got there, and the jukebox was free, so we had a great time 😀

Great pub, always try to frequent it when we visit.

Night out with the lads. Good stop for a friendly atmosphere and good beer. Staff were efficient and welcoming. I'll stop here again.

A superb traditional pub. Friendly locals and bouncing at the weekends. Very dog friendly

Friendly, comfortable and quirky! Great pub and always a lot of effort put into the furnishings plus a lovely little garden with ambience.........
