The Brewery Tap, North End, Portsmouth

Closing for refurb first week in October 2010, according to note in window the refurb should take about 3 weeks As per my last review, a refurb is long overdue Not rated this time as change is afoot

Lunchtime weekday visit, wide choice of beers and seats, but the pub is a bit shabby, carpet joined with masking tape for instance I suspect trade may not be what it was due to The Lanyard being next door [see photo] Toilets are upstairs, so if this is a problem that is another reason not to bother
