The Strand Bar, Southsea

Small Narrow Shepherd Neames pub which, it seems, is due for a re-furb soon. Hope they re-furb the beer as well as it was not in very good condition.

Update 29 Sept 2009 - Sunday lunchtime visit The interior is sort of "beigey" decor, but I do not mean this in a disparaging way, just that it is clean, tidy, carpeted, has tables, chairs & not dark & gloomy. On my Sunday visit there were even free nibbles on the bar, long time since I found this in a pub on any day of the week Home cooked food, and some surprises here, like bubble & squeek, cheesey chips. Prices from around £2 to £7 Beer is standard tap / keg stuff Fruit machine, pool table & 3 TVs One single bar, but split into areas for dining, pool and general bar. On two levels, but has two doors onto street so wheelchairs could get in, however there is a step between dining area and bar Disabled toilets, but if in dining area it would involve negotiating the step up to bar area All in all a nice local sort of pub 28 Jan 2009 Renamed Strand Bar
