Scotts Tap & Keller, Southsea

A Victorian corner pub, was Scott’s Bar a few years ago then became The Kitch n D’Or before reverting to Scotts Tap and Keller recently. The ground floor bar has narrow long tables fixed in place quite cramped and doesn’t work well when there’s a crowd in. There is a cellar bar which has more comfortable seating, though you have to come up the stairs to get served. There’s no longer a garden, just a small outside seating area at the front, with a couple of continental-style tables and chairs. The barman was friendly, though the awful (c)rap music was far too loud to be pleasant. No real ale, just 6 craft beers which all tasted the same. It’s nice to see it still open, but it’s not somewhere I’d frequent.

Now a neat little craft bar in a traditional building, the room is quiet small but there is additional seating downstairs. All craft keg here across a range of styles, seven beers on with an additional Thatchers Cider. I had a New Bristol Mango And Lime Gose which was good if not everyones cup of tea. I liked this one.
