The Jolly Sailor, Southsea

Large pub with enviable raised position overlooking the park and near the waterfront. Enter via a revolving door to large, fairly featureless open-plan room decorated in greeny mushroom shades. . “TJs Diner” lies at the far end, which had an American influence with hides and saddles mounted on the wall. Two pumps, a fairly dire St Austell Tribute and turned Doom Bar clip. At 2 quid a half I wasn’t best impressed, although the barmaid was friendly enough. A pretty poor one, really.
