Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Steel Tank
The Steel Tank looks to have tried everything it can to re-open after lockdown. But they are still currently only open for take-outs.
I did managed to visit and chatted to the owners, who very generously gave me a complimentary pint of Flowerpots Gooden's Gold to take away.
Apparently, it is their small size that is stopping them from re-opening fully. Although I have been in pubs less than half of their size since lockdown.
Hopefully, they can get things up and running soon, as it will remain on my list of pubs to try.

Moby Duck left this review about The Steel Tank Alehouse
Set in a typical 60s/70s shopping precinct, in a converted shop unit , it is decked out with basic wooden/metal seating. On the bar there are eight handpumps, six for cask beer and two for Cider, a similar number of Craft keg taps alongside them. Normally in micropubs like this I end up on the keg stuff but such was the quality of the cask offerings I stayed with them, the three I had were Vibrant Forest Summerlands 3.5%, Vibrant Forest/Butchers Hook Metamorph 5.5% and a possible beer of the year, New Bristol Irish Cream Stout, a hefty 7.0% but sublime. Just three minutes walk from the train station its well worth the trip, a good double header with the Steam Town Brew House one stop down the line in Eastleigh.
