The Regents Park

Walk into The Regents Park and you'll immediately get why it's earned its loyal following in this corner of Southampton. This is the kind of place where regulars know the bar staff's names and the pub dog (if there is one) knows yours—no pretence, just good booze and better company. You're looking at a solid selection of cask ales, the sort of thing that matters to people who care about their pint, plus a menu that doesn't try too hard but does the job properly. It's the pub you'd choose if you actually lived round here, whether you're catching the match, settling in for a proper evening, or just need somewhere to decompress after work.
