Has become one of my favourites after having had it repeatedly recommended. Great choice of reasonably priced craft beers and premium lagers alongside a good liqueur selection. Patrons are all exceptionally friendly and atmosphere is brilliant! Staff are really friendly too. Kudos to the the owners.

So I popped down here on a Sunday for the first time for quite a while to see a friend play. I arrived to see this lovely bar full to the brim with a fantastic community spirit, great drinks and brilliant music. This is a weekly music Sunday session thing they have going on that is free entry and is really putting Shirley High Street back on the map amongst others. I can't recommend this place enough and I will definitely be a Sunday regular from now on 💯👌❤️

I've been coming to Clockwork Bar in Southampton for years, and while the previous owner was fantastic, the new owners have truly put their own unique spin on the place. The atmosphere remains friendly and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for everyone. One of the standout features of Clockwork Bar is its impressive selection of drinks. Whether you're in the mood for a craft beer, a classic cocktail, or something non-alcoholic, there's something to suit every taste. Additionally, the bar is dog and kid-friendly, which makes it a great choice for family outings or a relaxed evening with friends. The new owners have managed to retain the charm that made Clockwork Bar special, while also introducing fresh ideas and improvements. It's a testament to their dedication that the bar feels both familiar and exciting. If you haven't been in a while, it's definitely worth a visit to experience the new vibe.

Nice little bar. New owners since October 2023. Friendly locals. A great selection of cask and keg beers. Gins, ciders, wines & spirits also available. A wide range of snacks for all tastes are displayed in large glass behind the bar. I struggle to walk past and enjoy popping in for a quick drink and longer sessions.

This is a fantastic little family-run pub with great customer service and an amazingly friendly atmosphere. It has become a real community hub and has a great selection of beers that is updated often They host regular pub quizzes as well as BBQs, Bingo, Sports events and Family fun days. A newly installed baby changing table and a selection of board games, puzzles and books really tips the scales and give this little pub it family family-friendly edge.

This is the best pub in Shirley. They have a great selection of craft beers and ciders, which is always changing so you can try something new every time you come. The owners are so friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, which encourages everyone to chat to each other. It's great for kids too - they often have family fun days, and there are baby changing facilities in the toilets. I can't recommend this place highly enough!

Absolutely love this bar & the people running it. Mark, Emma, Mollie & Evie are the loveliest people, who always make you so welcome. Good beer & great atmosphere, never 'clicky'. Love everything about this place ❤️

This pub is quite simply the most wonderful place in Shirley for a perfect pint and a lovely experience. It incorporates both a traditional pub vibe and a craft beer bar atmosphere with its extensive beer menu, whilst somehow also throwing the perfect blend of cocktail bar chic in the mix, too! There’s genuinely something for everyone here. The recent installation of a baby changing unit ensues a super family friendly environment, which is a welcome addition to this family-run business. You can tell how much love and passion has been invested into this place and I couldn’t recommend it enough to anyone who loves good beer and a good laugh. Long may it prosper!

Absolutely fantastic bar. Amazing atmosphere, welcoming staff and one of the few places where I’m completely comfortable going to on my own as a woman, staff ensure no grief or inappropriate behaviour. I would highly recommend for families, parties and everything in between!

My partner and I have been a regular customer of clockwork for years and enjoy the camaraderie. It is a local’s pub, now run by a local run family, who have really put their stamp on their venture and it is thriving. ATMOSPHERE Music is always playing, this ranges depending on which member of the family, or lovely employed staff member is behind the bar. There is also regular effort for live music to add to the great environment of the customer’s who welcome you to the microbar. ENTERTAINMENT Quizzes, BBQ’s and England games are several examples that Clockwork offer to bring new vibes to the business. The family are always reaching out to new and existing customers, listening to constructive criticism and taking note of the weather/seasons to ensure the right entertainment is offered. They try their best and it pays off! DRINKS & NIBBLES Clockwork is a microbar and drinks regularly change. There is an updated drinks board opposite the bar and small tasters can also be provided to ensure you’re choosing the right beverage. No full meals are served, but nibbles range from (many flavoured) nuts, crisps and fudge, to name a few. If you really are hungry, the family have no qualms with you buying/ordering food from the local store/takeaway and eating in Clockwork. They like to keep things local. OVERALL RATING I enjoy the banter at Clockwork, be it with the family and/or the customers. I cannot recommend Clockwork enough after a tough day at work or for a relaxing Sunday afternoon. The family will always give you the drink and customer service to suit your needs. #highlyrecommend

Very clicky drinking hole, went there 2/3 times, got accused of inappropriate behaviour with bar staff, well all I did was order drinks asked for a bit of music change, evie behind the bar said what would you like I suggested UB40, this guy who was a local said that's to heavy in which I replied don't be so silly, then the next time I went their her demeanour changed from welcoming to blanking me, then my third visit was I got called outside and told about my alleged inappropriate behaviour, the place has a clicky bunch of locals and if your attire or face doesn't fit then you're shown the door, disgusting attitude and completely biased. 🧐

Selection of board games if you are down with friends although you will always find someone to talk to among the pleasent locals. Quiz night once a month is great fun

Another great micropub along Shirley High Street which makes Shirley worth a visit if you like your real ale. 5 real ales on hand pump plus a row of craft keg and keykeg (although the barman didn't know which was keg and which was keykeg). Decor is more upmarket than the usual micropub.
