Brewery bar in Eastleigh

Please update your hours we drove here for food and you were closed

Wow! What an improvement since new ownership! Haven't eaten here yet but I've been told the food is amazing. Really lovely atmosphere Saturday night, and excellent live band and great bar service. Will be back!

ALL TOUND QUALITY. NICE PEOPLE. CRACKING FOOD.

Amazing staff, value their customers and offer a service that is second to none.

We visit quite often for drinks but this is the first time we had eaten here. The new menu has lots of choice and the food is delicious. Prawn taco small meal was really tasty, with large prawns and really fresh sauce. Friday night offer is two fish and chips for £20. Food is beautifully presented and great service with friendly staff. Popped in for a quick drink Sunday lunchtime. Lovely warm welcome and lots of choice. We often find that on Sundays some pubs are less than welcoming as they are only interested in people dining in so it was nice to be able to relax and have a drink without feeling we were being rushed.

Great bar, open fire and outside area, highly recommend

Muy sabroso pescado con patatas fritas, gran relación calidad-precio. Personal amable, bien vale la pena una visita. Los nuevos propietarios han hecho grandes mejoras.

Really tasty fish & chips on Friday evening. Great value for money and friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

Completamente deliciosa sopa de calabaza casera con pan de ajo queso, mi amigo tenía las papas fritas cargadas que decían que eran excelentes también. Chef bien hecho, volveremos.

Great welcome and the happy hours 4-6 Mon to Fri are great at 20% off food was good it hit the spot

Great cosy little pub. Had a nice drink in the beer garden.The food looked lovely didn't eat this time but will definitely be eating next time. Worth a visit If you are in the area.

This is a lovely pub that employs really friendly, helpful staff. Food quality was excellent and prices were what you’d expect to pay for the really good food and drink that they serve. There was a really nice atmosphere and we will definitely be returning - even though this isn’t our local pub.

Very good snags and other food. Would recommend.

Went in for a girls lunch yesterday! We opted for an array of sharing tapas style plates & it was absolutely delicious 😋 Highly recommend this venue. The garden is really nice choice as they have cute little booths which feel more private. We will be back. 👍

Amazing food and atmosphere, staff were super friendly and I can’t recommend it enough, will definitely be back.

They've taken away the pool table yet it's become a sports bar with multiple screens. Don't the two go hand in hand?

Injoyed the bar. Prices a bit step. But sadly why we all drink at home theses days.

Excellent quality, staff very friendly. Can't fault it Entertainment most weekends. Great selection of drinks

Best pub on the south coast! I have come here a few evenings lately and it's always and excellent environment and vibe! The live music is always a good choice of local act and the food is to die for! This is a very comfortable local pub, with excellent facilities, affordable delicious food and best of all, it's dog friendly! I 100% recommend this pub, I'll be back again this week for a couple more pints!

It was a lovely sunny day!! Do we made the most of lunch (not been before) in The Brewery Bar, Botley. Small but very cosy terrace with plants all around so I felt like we were on holiday abroad. Service was great and friendly. Beautiful clean comfortable pub. We had a selection of small plate food. They are not too small!! They were so tasty. Loved the corn ribs, chips were amazing. Basically loved our first lunch outside this year. I can recommend The Brewery Bar. I would say very good for retired people at lunch time.

Fast service, friendly staff,And especially well presented delicious 😋 food ..

Great for a quick lunch. The snags were amazing! Service was excellent. Nice and clean. A really good concept. Look forward to coming back and trying more of the menu.

Popped in for a spot of lunch. The service was excellent.The food was delicious. The new management have done a great job.

Wonderful Sunday lunch. Roast sirloin beef. Absolutely perfect with hot and delicious gravy, Yorkshire pudding and plenty of veg and potatoes. Delightful dessert of sticky toffee pudding, brandy snap, ice cream and caramel sauce, all for £18! Great service, ambience, food and wine.

Went yesterday and the food was amazing. Great staff and a great hands on management/ owner.

popped over 13 April afternoon, kitchen had just re-opened, got the wings & sheperherds pie, all very nice, lime flavour on wings very good. Drinks selection ok, but wish they had Stella, very clean & friendly👌

My friend and I dropped in for a swift pint on a Monday morning...we were the only people in the bar, with the exception of the barmaid... and it was her first day!!! So obviously I can't comment on atmosphere and food. Very nicely and sympathetically restored during its last renovation, the pub has a real 'local' feel to it. I was very disappointed to see 'morning television' on the TV as I assume it could show sports? Listening to a lot of Woke commentators and watching celebrity LGBTQ definitely is not why I go to the pub. I assume that the barmaid was responsible for the channel choice? There are plenty of tables for eating, both inside and out in the small garden. The gent's toilets are spotlessly clean and shows attention to details in the cleaning regime. There is a nice fireplace which I assume would be a lovely centrepiece on a cold evening or daytime visit. This is a nice little venue and definitely worth a visit. They have a smallish car park... possibly spaces for 15+ cars and you will definitely not be disappointed with their drinks selection. On which I must say that prices are slightly north of average. My friend and I were in a pub in Fair Oak last Monday and 2 pints of Stella Artois came in at £8.50...today a pint of Amstel and a pint of cider came in at £11.40?... that's a whopping £3.90 difference!!! That said I would definitely go back and recommend a visit.

The brewery bar has changed hands recently, and the changes seem to be very much for the better. We stopped visiting under previous management as the place was just dirty and not looked after. Service was awful. When we heard it was being taken over we decided to pop down for a drink. It just feels cleaner and more welcoming. We popped in on a lunch time, and they had the fire on and the place just felt warm and welcoming. They've made improvements outside as well which was nice to see as they have a lovely sized beer garden. We decided to come back for live music and the place was buzzing on a Friday evening. The staff were having fun while serving quickly and the atmosphere was brilliant. So glad to see this pub become a good place to visit again. Looking forward to them starting food again. It'll be a regular visit when we head down to Botley in future.

Just re opened under new management. Was buzzing l watching rugby and again later with live singer.

A Monday night darts match, and the staff were brilliant. Service excellent. A great venue. I'm sure the pub will do well and I'd highly recommend it

First time there, recently opened, dropped in for coffee, warm and clean, nice staff, will be back!!

Lovely food at the brewery bar, tacos were really filling! Good service and definitely coming back again!

Lovely bar, great atmosphere with live music in the garden. We had a fun time 😁

The Brewery bar has had a face lift and it looks good. When we visited there was live music which we enjoyed. I enjoyed my gin but my husband was a little bit disappointed with the real ale, he said that he has tasted better which is a shame.

Lovely pub. Good service nice pint

Food was great, huge portions great value, quick service and lovely staff!

Nicely set out, a few odd looks from obvious locals, but well presented, value for money & well presented Update. Been through a few owners by the look of it, no atmosphere, very few people and the back area was barren. Used to have lovely decor and seating, having to listen to 4 so-called men using the 'f' word constantly was the real highlight 🙄 such a shame. Won't be going back UPDATE After finding nowhere open ( weekend of the travvellers fair) on a Sunday evening bar the "Brew" was the only place to go. The young lady behind the bar was lovely and friendly, a very happy atmosphere and fair prices too... Happy igave ut another go

Decent selection of beers, an excellent food truck with a really tasty range of burgers and chips. It's also the best beer garden in Botley! What's not to like!

I was only there for a U3A event during a very quiet afternoon so cannot comment on food or evenings. The young lady behind the bar was friendly and pleasant. There was a range of beers on offer.

What a dive!! This place a couple of years ago used to be the place to go. We went to watch d.j.l band was amazing like always. The people running this place have no idea what they are doing. It’s clear to say that the place is full of people doing drugs. My husband went into the men’s and drugs where being used in the toilet. I won’t be returning and something must be done. How can this pub stay open when it’s clear to see everyone in the pub is off there heads on drugs

そんなにスペシャル感はない普通のパブ。ビールも普通。ただバーガーは美味しかった。

Bellaisabella omg food is divine.. very good quality food… chef is outstanding, so good to have you in Botley… please visit…

Had a lovely evening, great selection of wines and beers and the food was nice. Starters to share , recommend the chilli garlic bread, had the cannelloni, very filling, but very tasty, cooked to order, not warmed up in a microwave. Friendly, helpful staff.

Had a lovely lunch in this dog friendly pub. Great Italian food and very friendly staff! Definitely recommend to dog walkers

Jeff was amazing and food was deliciously authentic. Best Italian in Botley.

Called in Saturday lunch time while out walking the dogs. Warm and friendly team on site and the dogs were very welcome. We all had pizza and the food was excellent, really tasty and very well priced. We will definitely be back here again!

The local people that use the pub are a entertainment in there own right. Food was amazing. But they run out of roasts by 2.30. so I missed out on one but I'll come back a bit earlier next time. I don't think that the chief expected to be that popular.

Excellent service . Staff very friendly. Reasonably priced. Real Italian food with good portions . Will be back soon

The food was good and the staff were friendly.

Dropped in for lunch today. Staff very friendly and pizzas were great. Freshly made to our choice. Thank you

Lovely welcoming place, with great food. Had the bolognese calzone and it was brilliant, we will definitely be back!

First time at The Brewery Bar and was very pleased with my experience. Friendly staff with very generous portions of food and very tasty. Will definitely be coming here again!

Friendly bar staff. Have been meaning to pay a visit here for a while and will definitely return

Excellent bar, our second return today. The bar lady is great that worked today. We sat outside and had a couple of pints. Excellent pub will be back Saturday

Georgie was working behind the bar and offered exceptional service and friendly chat to make our afternoon the best we've had for a while . And now there is delicious Italian food to be eaten I recommend the cheese unbelievable. The pizza comes a close second all the best Ritchie

A really laid back and welcoming pub with a delicious Italian restaurant within it. The staff have the right attitude to see this business flourish. Clean refreshed decor, well kept beers and freshly prepared foods. Loved our time there.

Really old but really nice, clean and glad I visited. Will deffo be using again and again

Lovely atmosphere and very friendly.

Absolutely terrible place is not run properly everyone doing drugs all the time sell drugs in there all the time the staff know about it and don’t care aloud to vape inside the pub witch I didn’t think was professional. Prices are abit to expensive just a proper crap pub wouldn’t recommend at all.

I love this place, it was good before the refit now it's the dog's Doo dahs! The food is pretty good, nice selection of beers and live bands what more could you want?

Old pub with specious garden. Friendly staff. Car park by pub

Old fashioned website with little information. Used the Contact Us to get a menu but no response received. Disappointing and unprofessional l.

I have been hear a few times now and the food is really nice also a really good vibe, also I might add the are dog friendly and Support dog treats and water for free

Dropped in with a few friends and there was a live band in the evening, so we were looking forward to staying for a few and enjoying the night. The bar is very nice, clean, and staff seemed friendly. Unfortunately, for a venue named brewery bar, the beer choice was pretty terrible… just lots of generic, mass produced lager and dated cask, no local breweries, no modern beer styles, no quality in the line up - nothing you would expect from a venue named such. Would visit again but I hope they revisit their beer list, as it felt a bit like stepping back 10-15 years.

nice atmosphere but as a young woman i didn't feel the safest

Great atmosphere, staff were excellent and the band was pretty good too.

Great pint of Abbot ale in the beer garden first since Jan 2020 as we are shielding.

We went as part of a trawl round Botley to see what it had to offer! The person behind the bar was very friendly and the atmosphere was really good.

Very loud hideous dance music. Barman gave me a pint instead of a half and then proceeded to massively short change me. Won't be returning.

Was a little bit disappointed as it had good reviews but the food took ages to come out and a lot of it was burnt, the beer was good thou.

We came with family for a Sunday roast. We opted for 3 roast beef and 1 roast pork. All were absolutely delicious and no one could fault it. Most definitely the best Sunday roast we’ve had outside of home. Will be back and will recommend to anyone. Staff were nice and friendly too.

Nice old pub, very popular, live music, The Jay's, on Saturday was great...had a boogie.

Visited this bar with the intention of 1 drink and then go to another..... we stayed all day😃. Staff were fab & friendly, drinks were great and great music. We only had a light bite but it was delicious, if you are near this place i highly recommend a visit, they have 100% got the right criteria for a fun time had by all. Well done ladies, fab job!👌

Great pub, very friendly vibe, nice group of punters, very relaxed

If you're not a local you feel like an intruder.

I have to say I had the best night on Saturday for my 40th. Love this place and Natasha is amazing, Thank you all for making my evening so special! The band were fab too 😊

Good lively atmosphere and responsible staff

Just had a miserable experience here. The lady that served us clearly didn’t want to be there. Zero customer service, utterly miserable person. Have left and gone elsewhere after one drink. We could have spent quite a bit here, but not today or the future.

It’s a nice pub normally, but not today. The mobile kitchen has gone and the in-house kitchen still hasn’t reopened - so no food. But worse, worse by far was the appalling bar service - I’ve never met anyone more unsuitable to face the public. Miserable, abrupt, unpleasant. We had one and drink and left and probably won’t go back.

Very good food and a fairly decent price. Atmosphere felt a little bit weird in the bar though, and staff basically threw the food at you and then wandered off and didn't bother with cutlery or condiments. Menu for a Sunday lunchtime was VERY limited with just burgers and sides on offer.

Place was lovely and clean and the bar staff were extremely friendly and helpful. There has been a renovation since I last visited and it looks great. Lots of drink choices too.

Booked online, no response!@ Turned up, pub empty, unfriendly chap behind bar. Asked for high chair and he pointed to where it was to go get ourselves. We sat down, to get ready for lunch, as it was 12.30....i.e. lunchtime! Another small group came in and he said you can sit anywhere you want. They asked for menus and we overheard him saying 'oh sorry we have no chef at present, he won't be in until 2, so you can wait!' I then tackled him and asked we hands told us as it was obvious we were in for lunch! He just shrugged his shoulders. Turns out they don't even do food and they have a burger van in the car park! We saw the menu prior too, so a place I will NEVER revisit. Went to the Dolphin around the corner instead and was EXCELLENT there.

Very disappointed with the place. We went with our 1yo baby after reading all the fantastic reviews and seeing the latest very menu on their website. We tried to book on the phone but no answer, sent an email with no answer, but it still...

Good comfortable pub. May well be 5 stars if it weren't for current Covid restrictions.

Staff were very helpful. We had not booked but it had been raining. But plenty of undercover seating. Only shame is the smell of smoke, but you are outside so it's expected.

Great outdoor seating aera, table service, staff are friendly and polite.

Went in charged £4 a pint .how much a pint I asked John a local .£3.50 now I live in botley been in brewery bar loads of times .they are out of order charging different price for pint

An amazing pub to come to, friendly staff provide top service! Loads of outdoor seating we were able to get a table without booking. We ate from the burger van and would recommend anyone who comes her to try them, one of the best burgers...

service is excellent lucy is especially nice would recommend to all looking for a local

Revsited one sunny Sunday afternoon looking for a bite to eat.We quickly found a seat outside with ease then noticed we needed to pre order food online.Neither of had the means to do this but it did not prove too much for the waitress who...

Very welcoming staff, undesrtanding of the covid restrictions in place. Special mention to Natasha. Pub is very clean, comfortable and the food on the covid restricted menu was good value for money. Highly recommended

Offer a Veg Soup during Tier 2 restrictions which was homemade and profits to charity. Don't have Sky Sports but still offer BT. Really decent place with good staff and food.

Lovely food and lovely staff ❤️

The best pub in botley, considering what situation we’re in at the moment with covid. They’re doing a great job with taking care of their customers!. Defo will come again!.

I always come here whenever I’m out with friends / family! Service, food and drink is great here! Everyone is so friendly and the food has always been delicious!

This place is so bad. I ordered a burrito it arrived cold and covered with mould. I have tried to make contact with the owner twice. Once going into her other pub and the other by email. She has so far ignored me. This pub...

My wife and I visited this pub for the first time and we were not disappointed, the staff were friendly and helpful, the service like most places these days was table service, and they checked often to see if we needed another drink even though...

Great place. Will definitely be returning. Food was 👌🏼 And weekend atmosphere was buzzing. Staff are amazing too!

Absolutely fabulous roast beef lunch! Probably the best in the area. Everything you can think of and perfectly cooked. The staff are always lovely and very friendly and welcoming. It’s the only place you can go, at the moment, where you don’t feel like you...
