Hole in the Wall, Southsea

A regular GBG pub, the Hole has a mixed reputation and I have previously had unsatisfactory experiences here. On this occasion, though, all was well. They were advertising a chili theme night, always a good idea in a real ale pub. The clientele were the older, more civilised drinkers, though I found the staff supercilious. They continue to stock a good selection of foreign and fruit beers, and there were 6 ales on this time around. My pint of Magic Rock Dark Arts was perfectly kept and was an excellent pint. One of Southsea's best pubs, this is a must for inclusion in a crawl and a good place to spend the evening.
