Number 73 Bar and Kitchen in Havant

Friendly staff, good range of food and cocktails

Unfortunately the dessert did let this down a little. Roast dinner was lovely Service very good. Unfortunately the cold dry brownie was a disappointment. Wouldn't recommend the brownie, didn't eat the brownie but still paid for it, was not offered to take off the bill. The crumble and churros was a hit with the rest of our dining table.

Food was absolutely lovely, service was fantastic and the atmosphere was lovely. Jamie went out of his way for us as we had a booking for 18 people. The team kept checking that we were all happy. I would 100% recommend this restaurant 👌 Sunday roast is to die for, especially the belly pork 😋

Had a lovely breakfast here will definitely be back.

We have been here a few times now, I will say the other times we're memorable, but after this time it was not the best and it was not even busy, dirty tables and food on floor, empty bottle under are table, dirty cloth on the table next to us. Staff diss interest, and would rather chat, main course was a roast and was very nice, when we finished plate's were taken, then no one came to see if we wanted a dessert menu, 25 minutes passed, wife had to find someone to get a dessert menu, manager came, to take order for dessert. Said to him about no one coming to see if we wanted anything else, his excuse was all waitresses were on there break.what restaurant does that.

Came here with my family for a Sunday dinner. The food was absolutely amazing. We walked in and Matt was incredibly friendly, gave us a fantastic welcome. Jamie then looked after us and was equally great. One of the best (if not the best) local roasts I’ve had, would happily go here again

What a nice surprise. We went for an early mid-week diner. Relaxed atmosphere in the well decorated restaurant. Friendly staff. We both really enjoyed the steak, and vegetarian pasta dishes. Waterlooville is lucky to have somewhere of this standard.

We had a fantastic experience eating here. A warm welcome by Matt and Jamie and the team and a tremendous meal from a great menu. Thanks for your hospitality we will be back.

Had another fantastic meal at Bar 73 . Our Sunday lunch was faultless. We ate : 1: Beautifully cooked roast beef , perfectly rare and succulent. 2: Melt in the mouth roast lamb full of flavour . The meat was obviously from a joint , not thin slivers from mass produced catering packs. Freshly prepared , tasty vegetables , and gravy , clearly made with real meat juices. All arrived piping hot . Bar 73 has a semi open kitchen and when we eat there ,when I see that Jordan the Head Chef is in the kitchen , I know that we are going to have a fantastic meal . Once again the food under Jordan’s direction in the kitchen was fabulous . The service was excellent , friendly, attentive and professional . All the front of house team were great , as usual . On this visit Pia really stood out. Loved her” quirky vibe “ and the way she interacted with us as if she knew us . There was a new member of front of house staff being trained . We overheard how her colleague was training her and it was all about the customer . The discussions were about , how to make a great dining experience for customers . The food at Bar 73 is made with love and passion. The service is excellent . No surprise that they are the number one place to eat in Waterlooville on Trip Advisor .

I'm sorry to have to write this as the staff were lovely, but the food not that good. We ordered 3 roast beef and 1 fish and chips, the beef was a little dry around the edges, and only one of us had a home made Yorkshire pudding, the other 2 were flat frozen ones. The fish and chips was a joke, the fish was flat and not much bigger than a large fish finger. We were hungry and ate the food. The manager came and spoke to us and was very apologetic and was surprised we were not happy. He said the fish was fresh, but no way was it fresh, it was to firm and flat, fresh fish would be thicker and much more flakier. He did not charge us for the fish, which was good of him. He said they go for flavour more than quantity. But the potatoes were well cooked and we showed the waitress the badly black one and the edge of the beef which was dry and curled up. The place as a building was lovely and well spaced out, but not worth the money on the food. Once again sorry but sometimes flavour and quantity need to be addressed. My husband has just retired from the food standards agency and he's been around food for 40 years service, so knows fresh from frozen

Had a lovely evening with friends. We had the small plates and shared-they were all amazing. The atmosphere was fabulous and the staff were attentive. There was a wide selection of drinks from various gins to ales to wines. My friends had never been before, but said they will definitely return.

Best cooked breakfast I’ve ever had, and I’ve had many, everything on the plate was delicious. I will definitely be back. Gary

First time visiting with a group of three friends for the evening. Will definitely be back! What a lovely place and such a nice atmosphere - all the staff were so friendly especially Lexi and Emily who served us. The food was superb - we all had the steak which was delicious. A real gem of a place and cant wait to visit again.

Having seen the reviews was looking forward to coming here. On first impressions the restaurant has great decor, choice of drinks and food. However after waiting over 15min for our drinks order to be taken while watching 2 young girl waitresses and a manager wander about chatting and also listening to other customers complaining. There looked like there was no sign of our order being taken so we left with a grunt of a sorry from the waitress. Such a shame.

Lovely evening - Very attentive staff- and chef Tom cooks the best steak - thank you

Excellent food, service and such a relaxed place to eat. It's so good to find somewhere local for a good night out

Always the best every time ❤️ pancakes are to die for, see you again soon x

One of the best Sunday roasts I’ve had in a long time! Emily, Jamie and Matt looked after us so well and the food was amazing, would recommend to anyone!

Very pleasant atmosphere and surroundings. Friendly staff... Great food! Will definitely come here again 👍

My friend and I went for an impromptu dinner this evening (Friday 26th) we were served by Emily throughout the evening. Her attentive, friendly spirit is absolutely worth a mention. From the minute we arrived to when we left Emily was nothing less than excellent! We mentioned her service to her and the manager in at the time but for anyone reading this the food was excellent but the service was outstanding. Well done Emily ❤️

Excellent night out. Went to watch the entertainment James Austin and have a meal. The food was delicious and James was great. Jamie the manager went above and beyond nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend. Definitely 5*

What a fabulous place. We only stumbled across number 73 because we were getting the car cleaned nearby. Made to feel welcome by nice smiley happy staff and the manager. The place is so clean and inviting. We both had roast beef which was amazing and a side of cauliflower cheese. We are definitely going back. We would like to try other things on the menu, and it’s very reasonably priced. Was busy with a good atmosphere. Nothing to complain about at all 🙂

I went for Sunday lunch. The food was so good the roast potatoes the best ever. The chicken just melted in my mouth. Everything was so tasty. The service was so quick despite being busy. The manager and staff were so attentive. Can’t edit to go back. Best Sunday lunch ever

Love the decor and the background music, which enhances the already ambient atmosphere. Staff always have time for you, and the breakfast choices are very good.

Food and service were excellent. Manager and staff were very attentive, and the food was excellent. A welcome change to improve the experience of Sunday lunch.

A lovely, sophisticated spot! Impeccable service.

My first visit and thoroughly enjoyed it....lovely food, service very friendly and great atmosphere....loved the music too....excellent evening

By far the best Sunday roast I have had eating out. The staff can’t do enough for you and are happy & efficient. We have visited a few times with friends and each time has been great. I would definitely recommend 😀

We came again for a stunning Sunday lunch. Stylish decor, great friendly service, and outstanding food. Not to be missed

What an absolutely fantastic night at this great Bar/restaurant. Food and service was excellent. Our party of 12 were made so welcome by the Manager and all the staff. Never seen Mark Harris who was the wonderfull entertainment on Thursday 6th June 2024 before. What a great singer and personality Mark is. Will DEFINATELY be returning, hopefully Mark will be there singing again.

This is a gem of a gastro pub right in the heart of Waterlooville centre. Superb food, great atmosphere and a warm, friendly service.

We love coming to no73. The food is delicious and freshly cooked to order. The BBQ beef burnt ends are our favourite. The staff are very professional and attentive, but not too over the top, we never feel rushed. The manager is always present and taking pride in his restaurant, overseeing everything runs smoothly. We wil continue to visit no73. Thank you for a lovely evening, as always. Read less

Had a beautiful Sunday roast was abit unsure when recommended given the location but wow what a hidden gem will definitely be going back!! Really friendly staff too.

Absolutely fantastic place. The food is outstanding and very good prices. Just had the best Sunday roast and will definitely be back!

Been here several times for Sunday lunch, brunch and dinner. Always friendly service. Good menu and venue is accommodating for dogs (in the sheltered courtyard) and childrens fussy food habits!

Would have been 5 stars but made to feel uncomfortable about booking a table in the restaurant as it was a special occasion when the senior member of staff wanted us to sit on a pub table as it was easier for them. Never had an issue on a Sunday so weekday staff need to be more customer focused and if the booking allows you to select a table in the restaurant should be honoured without being made to feel as if we were an inconvenience!

Such a friendly atmosphere in here. Me and my partner go in for regular date nights and we love it! Good selection of drinks, we are yet to try the food but that’s on the to do list!🤣

An absolute gem of a place, the friendliest most welcoming staff, delicious food and great choice/value, wonderful choice of drinks and did I mention the staff? Cannot recommend Jamie and his team enough, whether it's a date night, live music night, Sunday lunch, a quick drink or a light lunch .. always No73 as my first choice!

What a hidden gem no 73 is , a fantastic team led by Jamie ,who’s ’old school approach to service is top class . I am a regular , but am always treated as if it’s my first visit . There is a varied menu with tapas and main courses and of course the now legendary Sunday roast , Thursday is the new sat with music every week which I love as the atmosphere is always lively!!

Great atmosphere tasty food mmmh tasty 🤤🤤and cocktails

Had a fantastic roast dinner here with our family, top marks were agreed all round! The bar has a great atmosphere and friendly/helpful staff. Featuring a bar area, restaurant area and a decent courtyard garden, the space is tastefully renovated. Our food was all very tasty; chicken, lamb, pork belly and chicken roasts were ordered, all of the meats were well cooked and flavoursome. My lamb was very tender, had some nice crispy edges but still melted in the mouth. The cauliflower cheese was VERY cheesy, don't get that often anymore so that was a decent touch. The bar offers breakfast, lunch and dinner menus throughout the week also, I would enjoy trying the dinner menu one evening.

Service was excellent really accommodating , the food was outstanding definitely worth a visit don't know how we haven't been there before!

Wow, wow, wow! Some of the best food I’ve had out in a long time! Went for a Sunday roast and had the beef loin steak and everything on the plate just melted in my mouth! Will be returning!

Excellent service! We celebrated my son’s 18th bday at Number 73 last Thursday and it was a blast! Everything was excellent, food, drinks, atmosphere , staff who went above and beyond. There was live music, with dance and singing along. The food was preordered and everything ready by the time we came in. I would absolutely recommend them!! Special thanks to Jamie, Dan and all the staff on Thursday 28th of March. Definitely an evening to remember, we can’t thank you enough. See you soon.

Highly recommend number 73. We had a Sunday lunch there yesterday. It was flawless, food, service, and attention to detail. We both had the lamb, a side order of cauliflower cheese it was all fabulous and no room for desert. Thank you

Fabulous Sunday lunch, everything cooked to perfection. Service is 100%. Prices in my opinion are very good for the standard you receive. Would highly recommend No 73 whether it’s a pop in for a coffee or a meal. A place where you feel totally comfortable. Give it a go.

We didn’t have a booking and it was a Saturday evening. The bar manager asked if we could wait 30 mins and a table should be free. We waited and we were very glad that we did! The food was delicious! All freshly made with no hint of a ‘microwave ding’. The staff were amazing and the manager was extra amazing. He looked after me when I knocked my glass over moving to a dining table from the bar area. I cut my hand and he came to my rescue with tissues and plasters. He even mopped up my blood from the floor in the ladies bathroom. Over and beyond, I feel!

Once again a fabulous evening at Bar 73. My husband arranged an impromptu surprise birthday meal for me with a group of friends and family. As usual the food was excellent. Tasty and prepared with the care and passion that I have always experienced on all of my visits. The food service from the kitchen for the whole group was impeccable. The table service from the staff was , friendly , warm and professional . The staff have obviously been trained well as they strike the perfect balance of attentive but not overbearing. They always have a warm welcome for their customers. Many thanks to Jaime and the team for another faultless evening.

The staff were lovely and helped my nan. The food was delicious and I would definitely come again

Excellent break experience really enjoyed and the service was excellent

Had a great time here fun atmosphere with live music and people up dancing and enjoying themselves! Deducting 1 star due to the chocolate sauce for the churros being very watery and not good . The music was also very loud if you were eating

Second time here for Sunday roast . This place is the only one I can find in the area that I can have everything on the roast including Yorkshire pudding as I am gluten free .and it is delicious. The service and staff are lovely.

Love this restaurant. The Sunday lunch is exceptional. Food is always outstanding and the staff are always friendly and helpful.

genuinely fantastic food. Service was very attentive, and was pleasantly pleased with the prices, given the very high quality food.

A nice little gem in the town centre

I just so happened across this restaurant as I was waiting for my car to be valeted nearby. Seeking a nice coffee, I dropped in about 945am. I was amazed at how lovely the interior is and gobsmacked really considering how run down waterlooville has become, this is like a jewel shining bright! I ended up ordering breakfast as the menu looked so appetising! I wasn’t disappointed, in fact this had to be one of the best breakfasts I have ever had. Poached egg perfect, soft vine tomatoes, quality bread, clearly butchers sausages, fine bacon and a crispy golden hash brown that didn’t ooze oil or grease. I’m not one for mushrooms usually but these were tasty and cooked to perfection! Homemade beans? Lush!! This place is fantastic, lovely staff, had a nice chat to a few of them, thank you for looking after me this morning. I can see why you are busy at this time of the morning, no expense spared on quality ingredients, but very good value when the bill arrived. I’ll be back with the family!

Vakentine's Night - Excellent Steak Meal followed by an exquisite Strawberries dipped in dark chocolate, shortbread and Salted Caramel and Chocolate dips. A Super meal, lovely evening, the dessert was a taste explosion, the large strawberries were sweet and succulent, and the chocolate covering so so so so good! We had the South African Merlot which was very nice too. The staff were excellent all night, you can imagine, it was busy, but they were bright, cheerful and attentive without ever getting in the way of the diners. Thoroughly recommend no 73.

Jordan the head chef cooked me and my family the most amazing meal. I attend all the time with friends and family and are never disappointed. Number 73 is by far the best restaurant in Waterlooville, from the moment you walk in it fells like your wrapped in a warm hug. The rustic decor, soft lighting, and friendly staff set the stage for a memorable dining experience.

Another fabulous meal & service at Number 73! Love this restaurant; highly recommended from me 👍

I’ve now been to this wonderful restaurant bar several times so feel able to leave an accurate review. Firstly the food is consistently extremely good. The Sunday dinners are fantastic. The staff are always extraordinarily happy and helpful and the service is first rate there is always a very good atmosphere and ambience, there is a wide selection of drinks available and their cocktails are excellent. My only regret is I don’t live nearer! Thoroughly recommend this venue

Highly recommended venue, if only we lived nearer ! Wonderful Sunday lunch beautifully cooked and well presented. The staff are absolutely amazing and the cocktails are fabulous. Can’t recommend this place more highly sadly can only give five stars. I would certainly like to give more.

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our evening here, the service was great staff very friendly and attentive. We started with chicken tenders, bread and olives and squid rings. These starters were very very tasty, I've never tasted chicken tenders like it before, very succulent and cooked to perfection. I had the pork belly and my partner had the chorizo pasta tagliatelle. These were both delicious but I was a little disappointed with the pork belly plate, when it came to me the presentation could be improved slightly and maybe same greens added would be good. With that said the taste of the pork belly itself was absolutely divine and cooked to perfection 👌. I would definitely recommend here for a nice weekday evening dinner, it very quite and ideal for a nice quiet dinner for couples. We will come back here again for sure. Thank you

Ok selection of beers on tap, staff were courteous. One of the better places in the area if you want a quiet social drink.

A fabulous place for a casual night out. We have now visited a few times, Jamie and his team always make you feel welcome, look after you with great food and great service in a relaxed atmosphere Highly recommend this bar & kitchen. Definitely will visit again!

First time dining here on a recommendation for Sunday lunch. Amazing food/atmosphere and outstanding service! Highly recommend we will definitely be returning soon!!

Warm and inviting with great staff and lovely decor this place is brill!! Love coming here and always have a good visit - highly recommend!

Amazing breakfast with very healthy portions with even higher quality! Great coffee too. The owner was very chatty and gave 10/10 service, lovely lady to be served by this morning. Would throughly recommend this business for breakfast.

We had a lovely roast lunch today. My friend said that the lamb was so delicious and was far better than she could make at home (and she is a great cook!!) The lunch was hot, tasty and delicious. Good selection of roast veg too and a delicious purée surprise underneath 👍 The mint choc brownie pudding was a delight - yum yum Jamie and his team worked so hard to provide a friendly, personable but professional and efficient service. Great job 👍

Wow .we had a roast a few weeks ago and it was amazing. So decided to visit for evening meal for a family members birthday. We could not fault it .food was great and service was excellent . We did miss Fin tho. Definitely be back soon .

Fabulous meal and great service. Risotto was lovely as was the pork belly. The menu is very well put together. We will be back very soon.

Absolutely beautiful Christmas meal. This is the second Christmas dinner and we will be visiting next year. Food was gorgeous and Jamie and staff make you so welcome. Thank you everyone. Make’s Christmas special.

been a few time but still a little bit of a bad taste since I had a bad experience during my first visit. Always wondering if it will happen again!! I was turned away because they were “full” and didn’t have a reservation . My friend called me 15 minutes later asking where I was - he wasn’t turned away… the whole time we were there it was half empty and the barman who turned me away gave no explanation! I will add that I’ve not seen that barman there since and been back a few times, and had a great time with friends.

A memorable Xmas eve - 10/10 Roast.. 2nd of many visits to come! The lamb was perfectly cooked, potentially one of the best roasts I’ve ever had! The decor is lovely & the staff go above & beyond too. Thank you!

WOW…. This is the best Sunday roast I’ve ever had … and I eat out all the time! Absolutely amazing .

Popped in for a drink in the week and decided to book for Sunday after speaking to Fin I am gluten free so I need to be reassured that I can safely eat here Fin was brilliant. The food and service was great.will definitely return and recommend to other people 👌

It always surprises me when a local restaurant can produce meals of an incredibly high standard. I ordered the slow braised beef which was served with mashed potato, red cabbage, kale and root veg crisps. It was simply delicious, one of the best meals I’ve had in a very long time. My wife and the couple we dined with also enjoyed their meal choices. Not only was the food top notch, the level of service was also outstanding. The staff are really attentive, polite and friendly. The only criticism I would level is the cost of drinks. A bottle of Prosecco, which normally retails at around £7.00 cost £30.00, a huge mark up. But that aside, I highly recommend this restaurant and we will certainly be returning soon.

The prawns were delicious but the mushroom risotto I wouldn't order again. I have doubts as to whether arborio rice was used, despite being advised it was. Everyone else in the party (8 in total) did enjoy their meals. The service was slow but in their defence it was busy - maybe more staff needed.

Visited with a group of family and friends on Sunday afternoon for lunch, very impressed beautiful surroundings with a lot of attention to detail, incredibly attentive staff very keen to please, good selection of quality drinks at reasonable prices and the food what can I say about the apart from the best Sunday lunch I’ve had in a long time! Definitely will be back. Keep up the great work!

The best Roast dinner I've had in years !! It was so delicious 😋 the potatoes where crispy the meat was tender , I highly recommend the coliflower cheese ! Thats the best !! , the starters where also delicious and i highly recommend the...

Had lovely refreshing drinks at No 73. Great customer service from the General Manager Jamie the wonderful smiley louisa and Charlie. Good times ahead of us all! Enjoy!

Lovely relaxing atmosphere, food delicious, every course was lovely, great choice of wine, and lovely cocktails, service very good,bit expensive than some, but well worth the extra , one of our favourite places to go on night out for food.

Amazing Sunday lunch. Amazing staff. Amazing service.

Excellent service, food lovely

Fabulous venue Amazing food and great atmosphere

What not to like, decor and atmosphere spot on. Service and food were both great. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Just had a delicious Bavette steak on a Tuesday evening....... STEAK NIGHT!! The steak was cooked absolutely perfectly, the dripping sauce was delicious... so was the mushrooms, tomatoes and fries. Beer is always cold and always served with a smile. Never been let down at no73. Tuesdays are steak night and I hear Pasta Wednesdays too. Highly recommend.

Our first visit and certainly not our last, excellent on quantity, quality, taste, ambience and service.

Nicely decorated restaurant and bar. Food was ok, nothing special unfortunately for the price tag.....Patatas Bravas was frozen potato wedges in a tomato sauce.... Not very inspiring! Cheesecake was quite nice though. Service was friendly but slow. I don't think I would come back as much better food quality else where .

We have just found a new place for Sunday lunch I can really recommend this place looking forward to trying their normal menu and a few cocktails 😀

I keep leaving good reviews about this restaurant, it is because they deserve it . Popped in this evening, thought we would give their new “ Tuesday Steak Night “ a try . We ate the standard special offer : Bavette steak , frites, mushroom...

Had breakfast there a couple of Saturdays ago. Lovely hosts, friendly and attentive. Husband and son have been back since for lunch.

Had a lovely evening last Friday, lovely food, nice restaurant and the staff were very attentive. We'll be back

First time visiting number 73 and wasn't disappointed. The food was amazing and so was the service. Will definitely be going back soon

Popped in for some lunch. We were greeted by the very friendly Finn. Ordered a drink and chose where we sat. Finn came over and took our order. We had a chicken sandwich, a BBQ pulled pork wrap along with some potato fries. Food was...

Decided last minute to pop in for lunch today with my sister in-law and our 3 kids. We had fabulous service from the minute I called to ask if they have space to the second they let us out of their back door to avoid...

We loved it! Had such a lovely evening here, great food, atmosphere and drinks. I like that it’s local and not over priced too. Well done

Excellent gf care and amazing food

Amazing Sunday roast at No73 yesterday. Service is second to none and the roast was the best we have had in a long time. Catered for my younger son and the atmosphere was relaxed and chilled. An amazing restaurant and cocktail bar. Will definitely be...

So welcoming and friendly and the roast was delicious! Excellent food and presentation, I was recommended a non alcoholic gin and that too was delicious, thank you for such a great experience today, can’t wait to return.
