The Slug & Lettuce, Portsmouth

Typical out-of-the-box S&L, this one not even making a token attempt to serve real ale. It's the bar nearest the Gunwharf Quays shops, serves the same dreary menu as the rest of the chain and lacks any notable distinguishing features other than the outside seating area, which is exposed to winds from the Harbour entrance so is only really comfortable in Summer. You know what you're getting though, so no surprises pleasant or otherwise. Happy hour starts at 4pm, earlier than the other bars here, so that's alright then. Not worth including in a crawl.
