The Alexandra, Southampton

The Alexandra is a traditional style pub,something that seems few and far between in central southampton. I was the only customer in on an early Sunday lunch time, it's a reasonably sized J shaped single room, wooden flooring with some black and white checkerboard tiling around the bar area. The bric brac clutter in many of the high shelves mostly seemed to consist of plastic star wars and super hero models,the walls sported some film poster memorabilia along with a Jimi Hendrix corner.There is a beer garden I didn't investigate. The Bar itself sported four handpumps with only two in use on my visit,I had the choice of Ringwood Best or Timothy Taylor Landlord, I went for the latter and found it in good condition. Not a bad pub ,it could have done with a few customers in to lift the ambiance.
