Scholars Arms in Southampton

Brilliant birthday celebration. Wanted to surprise my husband for his birthday with a gathering of friends, some drinks and shuffle board.The staff were so helpful, from reserving the space, keeping it open when getting the birthday boy there on time became challenging and being discreet when we arrived before the rest of our party.Chris was particularly amazing. He looked after us so well and went the extra mile making sure that we all had a lovely time. Would definitely recommend!

What a great place for lunch! Had a wonderful meal and enjoyed watching Rugby 🏉

Absolutely fantastic, manager Dylan was wonderful when we had a minor issue. Lovely environment, great food, and considering its a city centre pub a very generous 2 for 1 offer.

Mine & my partner's favourite local hangout pub & all the staff are friendly & helpful especially one ( MEG ,she's funny, friendly ,bubbly & will b sad when she leaves to start a new job . Door security are friendly too but in our opinion tho sorry we don't think very professional as they can / should b, as we always see a cpl of them smoking on the job & / or drinking on the door out of a glass ...not a good look to the public or gives out good signal to keep trouble @ bay ..at least grab a quick drink of water from a plastic cup @ the bar ...other than that just the toilets need a re-paint & better hand dryers but overall we enjoy it here & good lay out of tables & t.vs on show plus choice of meals & music is good @ the weekends too x

A really food meal cooked by the chef, I think his name was Reece as well which is amazing in my opinion. I think the food actually tasted better because he was called Reece.

The Katsu chicken burger, fries and onion rings was my choice and it was very tasty.I hadn’t had this before but I’m glad I did and recommend it for the slightly spicy flavour. It’s not too spicy but it’s a good amount of heat.The venue is good for meals and plenty of seating, tv’s for sports and all you’d expect from a Greene King pub. Good service and staff at this visit were attentive.

Pie not so good only 5 pieces of meat inside and 3 of those were not so good. Veg was just cabbage, think you could do better.

Myself and my boyfriend walked to the door of this place this evening & the bouncers were extremely rude. My boyfriend has previously went through treatment for leukaemia & feels comfortable with a cap on. We were told he had to take his hat off or wear it back to front but with a smug remark from the bouncers. Not sure why this would be maybe it’s for security purposes however we can wear a mask that covers our faces. Doesn’t quite make sense but nonetheless it was the attitude from the door staff that made us turn the opposite direction. If they had of made it clear why he had to take it off and not said it with a rude remark maybe we would have went in for a drink. 0 stars if I could in the short interaction I’ve had with this place.

Had an amazing time at Scholars Arms! I came in for a quick beer and ended up staying for 2 hours playing Shuffleboard and bantering with the polite staff. The food was quick and tasted amazing too. I’m looking forward to my next visit!

Good pub close to the city centre. Staff were pleasant and food was good but overall experience was let down (slightly) by range of real ale - just Greene King IPA when we visited. Food arrived quickly. Music was a bit too load for our taste and you couldn't get away from the Sky Sports screens. Two proper shuffleboards towards the rear were free to use on a Monday.
