Graham Coombs left this review about The Artillery Arms
A rather splendid backstreet pub, nicely traditional with a two-bar layout. Strangely, darts and the pool table are in the back bar, which is more of a saloon. A couple of sports TVs had the sound at a sensibly low level, and there were pavement tables out the front and a garden at the back. The beers are mainly from the owning Triple fff brewery, with a couple of guests, and seem to be very well kept. Well worth seeking out. Historical note - the straight paths to the rear of the pub mark the course of the long-abandoned Portsmouth canal.

A wonderful old school boozer tucked away in the backstreets of Milton,there are two unspoilt traditional rooms,three handpumps to each bar all with different offerings, three from Triple fff, Altons Pride ,Moondance and the strangely named Apache Rose Peacock along with Listers Gold, London Pride and Ringwood Fortyniner. Really worth a look in this pub.

A superb Victorian back street boozer which has evolved over the years to meet its customers' changing needs. The main Public bar is a knock-through and has a pool table, TV screens and various trophies on display. The décor represents the changing fashions over the years. There is also a Saloon bar which has a very loud jukebox, gaming machines and more TV screens. It's very noisy in here – maybe to give that proper 'artillery' feel. Ales on were fff Moondance and Alton's Pride, plus Harvest Ale. Staff were very pleasant, and the clients were a mix of civilised locals and ale drinkers. Worth a shot if in range, and a good place to limber up for a crawl.
