The Dockyard Pub Portsmouth

Head down to Guildhall Walk and you'll find The Dockyard Pub tucked amongst the bars and restaurants that make this stretch one of Portsmouth's livelier pockets. It's the kind of place where you can grab a pint and actually chat without shouting over a DJ, though it's got enough energy that you won't feel like you're in your nan's front room either. The kitchen takes its job seriously—this isn't just crisps and pork scratchings territory. With the Spinnaker Tower and Old Portsmouth a stone's throw away, it's become a reliable spot for locals and visitors alike who want proper pub fare without the fuss.
