Latest reviews from Gosport
| 76 /100 PRIDDY'S HARD, HERITAGE WAY “This has been well covered below. It is a great combination with the Royal Navy Ordnance Museum, Explosion then into the Brewery Tap which takes up one of the storage buildings overlooking the harbour area. It is a long building with the bar in the first of the open areas. Certainly plenty of their own beers available with just the one guest on our visit. We settled into the far room with views towards Portsmouth. The food was very good too, their own beers a little mixed. Spent a happy few hours in there before moving on.“ |
| 80 /100 PRIDDY'S HARD, HERITAGE WAY “From the central part of the Gosport city we walk for a while along the waterfront, over the millennium bridge and into a green area called Priddy's Hard, a former military installation. The modern, excellent tap room, established in 2021, is located close to the explosive museum of naval fire power. 11 of their own beers on tap at our stay, supported by a few guest ales. And, they do thirds. Friendly atmosphere and informative service. Lovely outdoor seating. Food options. The Powder Monkey Brewery is located at the same site, a bit further down the Priddy's Hard. Highly recommended. Btw, they open at noon all week, at least in October 22. (Visited with Finn, 19.10.2022).“ |
| 72 /100 33 Green Bottles (Bar) 11A NORTH CROSS “A colourful, likeable bar with a charming, punkish-attitude. One cask ale and nine varied craft beers on the taps. Not so many beers to choose from in the shop section to the left hand side of the entrance.
Friendly service. Opens early. City-central location. (Visited with Finn 19.10.2022).“ |
| 62 /100 Star (JDW) (Bar) 28-29 HIGH STREET “A few minutes over the sea with the Gosport passenger ferry from Portsmouth Harbour, and a short walk along the High Street to find this spoons located just off the High Street. Ten cask ale, four of them from the on-going autumn festival. They also had a fridge with canned craft beers. Decent spoons with good, traditional breakfast as usual. (Visited with Finn 19.10.2022).“ |
| 74 /100 33 Green Bottles (Bar) 11A NORTH CROSS “Very friendly cosy bar & bottle shop. Options of around 8 keg & cask options to drink in. A number of bottles & cans to take away. Only 2 mins walk from Fallen Acorn industrial tap unit & 10 minutes' walk from the harbour.“ |
| 90 /100 PRIDDY'S HARD, HERITAGE WAY “Excellent must visit tap house on the estuary, in a historic dockyard with plenty of history. It's well worth the short ferry crossing from Portsmouth Harbour along with the scenic walk even on a rainy day. Range of 16 including ciders on my visit last week. Friendly & informative service with tasters offered. Very tasty food with a changing menu. A dozen cans in the fridge to take away.“ |
| 76 /100 PRIDDY'S HARD, HERITAGE WAY “A must-visit in Portsmouth/Southsea. Short trip with the ferry. +20 min. walk with a good view of Portsmouth. Even better at the taproom. 11 of their own beers on when we visited. A few guests as well. Nice premises with a lot of outdoor seating.“ |
| 70 /100 33 Green Bottles (Bar) 11A NORTH CROSS “Cozy beer shop with a good drink-in option.“ |
| 54 /100 Star (JDW) (Bar) 28-29 HIGH STREET “Normal ´spoons in quiet Gosport.“ |
| 62 /100 Star (JDW) (Bar) 28-29 HIGH STREET “Typical Spoons on the main drag from the town centre towards ferry terminal - I was on my way back to Pompey. I had a half which was in decent condition.“ |
| 64 /100 Queen's Hotel, Gosport (Bar) 143 QUEEN'S ROAD “Trad back street local with a roaring fire (it was cold yesterday!) and a friendly vibe. Five beers on cask including a one from a local brewery (Newtown) who's beers are apparently quite hard to find.“ |
| 76 /100 33 Green Bottles (Bar) 11A NORTH CROSS “Airy & quirky micro-pub cum bottleshop hidden away on a side street, a 10-12 minute walk from the ferry terminal. Friendly welcome. Lounge furniture to sit on. Couple of fridges with craft cans. There were around 7 keg lines pouring plus two on cask - via gravity pour“ |
| 66 /100 Queen's Hotel, Gosport (Bar) 143 QUEEN'S ROAD “Due to the fact that this is a 'Hotel' I was quite surprised at how small the pub was. However this this is not a complaint, just an observation. I guess it's a Victorian terraced street and the pub fits - being from rural Hampshire it seems Northern to me but is presumably and example of an urban pub. I was very pleased to see they they had a Newtown beer on, being the only pub that regularly had the hobby brewery's beers on. The other beers were macro if memory serves me correctly. The main bar area was quite busy but the side lounge I went into was pretty empty. An old school locals pub which gets a plus point due to having an obscure brewery available.“ |
| 70 /100 33 Green Bottles (Bar) 11A NORTH CROSS “Update May 2023 - I visited a couple of days ago and this place has now really focused on the bar element. What was the shop area is now more seating and there's just one fridge and a couple of shelves, opposite the bar - which itself has moved from the centre of the units to the right hand side of the right hand unit.
Was surprised to discover that this bottleshop was now also a micropub, having expanded a few months previously. I guess they must have taken over the neighbouring unit. Gosport is a rundown drab place and 33 Green Bottles is on a particularly drab side street. You wouldn't spot it if you weren't looking for it. The bar area is on the right side of the building as you walk in and is a bit ramshackle, having seemingly been decorated with random second hand furniture. 4 kegs, some local and also a beer from Crafty of Surrey if I remember correctly, and two customers sat at a table. To the left is the shop area. As soon as I arrived the guy at the bar welcomed me and when I headed to the beers he came over and explained that the beers were split between craft and old school, light and dark. Straight away I spotted some Isle of Wight ticks and a couple of Fallen Acorn beers I'd not had. 100+ beers featuring local and national brands. They also stock an array of gins, including their own, plus ciders and spirits. Not the biggest selection but I'd be happy with it if it was my local bottleshop. And plus points for the owner who was extremely chatty and helpful. Decent local bottleshop and micropub. Gosport doesn't compete with Portsmouth but with the Four-Ale micropub down the road, Fallen Acorn's tap and the chance of an obscure Newtown Brewery tick at the Queens Hotel (none on this time) Gosport is worth the short ferry ride if you are staying in Portsmouth.“ |
| 78 /100 Four-Ale Taproom (Bar) 45 STOKE ROAD “Really inviting micro pub fronted by a father and daughter team. They knew we were coming but would hope they are like that all the time:) They make the most of the room by bringing the beers to you and then either taking payments via a bum bag for cash or with a wireless chip reader. Tables are then down the middle of the room. Decent array of cask and keg. Just out of central Gosport but presume people will head here as I would if I was in the area again.“ |
| 74 /100 Four-Ale Taproom (Bar) 45 STOKE ROAD “Cosy micropub, around 20 mins walk from the ferry terminal. There were a few folk in already by the time we arrived at lunchtime on Saturday. 8 cask & 4 keg lines including some locally brewed beers. Very friendly service, well worth a visit“ |
| 60 /100 Star (JDW) (Bar) 28-29 HIGH STREET “Not a bad place, but a lot of the ales weren’t yet on sale when I visited. It’s located on a busy shopping treat so it’s essy to find. Not too far from the Gosport ferry terminal.“ |
| 66 /100 Star (JDW) (Bar) 28-29 HIGH STREET “Located a bit of a walk up the High Street from the much used Gosport ferry, this Wetherspoon is a busy affair throughout the day with a preference for seats in the thin conservatory type area towards the rear where a small garden exists for times when the wind is not causing a chill off the Solent. It’s a traditional but cosy affair for a Wetherspoon with a couple of rows of ales to choose from.“ |
