Steam Town Brew in Eastleigh

Great beers and friendly staff. The small amount of food we’ve had was also good. Based on that, we ordered beers for a friends birthday prestent on line and collected them while’s there. But you charged for postage even though we said collection and you had them ready when we came in. We explained this to the manager at the time, and emailed, but no response to the email and not exactly helpful while we were there. We’ve still given 2 stars, as the place was busy and you had limited time to help, but the advise to deal with the shipping company was clearly wrong, and we’ve had nothing from you since.

Excellent craft beer pub and brewery in Eastleigh. It's convenient to get to- only a short walk from the station. Just head over the rail bridge as you walk out and it's about five minutes stroll. Well worth it too- it's a lovely, well designed bar and brewery/restaurant. You can just roll in and get a beer in the main bar or get seating in the restaurant part. It's clean, well kept and has some fun design features. The beer is really good - had a pils which was as described and good value. They rotate different ones and have the latest selection on a blackboard by the bar for you to peruse. The staff are friendly, efficient and do a good job. Place is well run obviously. Can't really say anything bad about it, it's well worth a trip. Loved the train seats in the restaurant part too.

Excellent for food and craft beer

Since eating here over a year ago the food has definitely gone down hill. Too much sauce used on basket chip options beef patty very bland, I don’t think it’s worth the price in comparison to say a similar food establishment like 7bone the quality of ingredients is not as good as it used to be. More on par with Drip burger, however the choice of cider and ales is awesome. Kari, the waitress was amazingly helpful and clearly had too much to do, I hope she is paid well for her service.

Superb as ever! Excellent food and quality home brewed beer. Oh my God! What a night, what great music and the great food..... incredible!!!

Great experience during our last visit. Food was fantastic. I went for the San Fran veggie burger and added bacon 🤣 Jerry was a fabulous host, very attentive and great with the kids. Would recommend :)

Fantastic, Phillip is a treasure. Get him behind the bar ;) Food and beer always good

Great food, very good service, excellent beverages, very reasonable prices. Parking very close by.

Wow what an experience, the beer, food and staff were totally amazing, will definitely be back there 🍻👍

First time visit after go-karting nearby. Wednesday night. Lively place with a quirky feel. Quite unique place. Food is all burgers, fries etc but good if you like that. Great selection of burgers etc, but also quite an extensive range of beers and wines. It was an open mic folk night (I think) so lots of people with instruments playing music having a great time making a great atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Great pub, great food, own beers

Love the place, the beers, the food, the decoration and the service was amazing

Great night. Polite, friendly staff, nice burger and open mic night with talented people and good tunes. Thank you 🎶🍷

Excellent choice of in-house cask ales and ciders. Dog friendly, still table service and you can book. 2022 Still dog friendly, it's much busier in the evenings, it's now a proper sociable pub again. The in-house beers are still excellent. The ciders were disappointing the last visit, especially if you want a cider that tastes of apples. The food is perfect high-carb beer accompaniment, assorted burgers and fries. Seating is less than perfect if it's comfort you seek. Inside is air conditioned and recommended, but unless you nab the tables in the far corner you perch on a high stool. Outside is picnic benches with a choice of adjacent to the road or the kitchen exhaust. Fine if you don't mind thr smell of chips. The staff, and clientele for that matter, are genial. The barman is especially helpful, even when you've failed to read the six foot high blackboard detailing his offerings for the evening. Despite the cider failure when we visited it's still an excellent pub.

Tried a couple of beers and their Mac Cheese. Beers were good. Lovely live Irish music when I was there. Good atmosphere. Wouldn't have the mac cheese again but the beer was very drinkable 👍

Fantastic service and beautiful brewery! You made a group from Iceland very happy!!! Steam Town was a wonderful place to find and we absolutely recommend a visit there.

Fantastic brewery with the most delicious selection of beers! The service was wonderful, second to none. You made a group from Iceland very happy!!

Love this place, has a great, friendly atmosphere. Maybe a bit of a a wait at busy times. ( but everything is freshly cooked)

Bloody amazing place,quality food,great entertainment and drink selection out of this world staff friendly and knowledgeable about products

Awesome food and beer. Haven’t been for a while but was even better than I remembered

Great food and even better beer. Love the style and location and the staff. Can’t praise this place enough. Long live the steam town.

Great Irish folk music this Sunday and homemade beer 🍺

Gerry is awesome. I hear if you leave a 5 start review you get akeg of disco fluff!! 🤣. One of my favourite eateries.

Microbrewery with good beer, great food and lovely people. All of the food is amazing, my favourites here are the loaded fries, any of them as they're all good, and the mac and cheese. Be adventurous with the beer here as its worth it.

Brilliant place, lovely people and great atmosphere. It was very busy, I think the staff need more help. But people like it which is why it is so busy.

Excellent local sorced food and beers from in house brewery. Excellent customer service and great staff plus great bands👍

Had our anniversary meal here this week. Food was lovely and for a coeliac like me, really reassuring and gluten free! They also had GF Milk Stout on draught which was amazing too. Finally, service was prompt and Kari was really friendly as well as helpful with choosing GF dishes. Will be returning next month for the wife's birthday.

Service was good and the food tasted ok but it was £10 for this plain burger on its own. Very small and nothing too it. Would have expected to at least have some salad. I also had fries which were £2.50 but the worst was a lime and soda which was £3.50!!! Most places charge £1 for that!!! Feel a bit ripped off.

Our friends recommended this place as a good option for us to go out as a 4some for dinner. What I did not know was that they had never been there. We arrived and entered the bar area. It is fairly rough and ready in appearance. The clientelle were of a more mature age. The band was pumping out a fair volume of good live music. We were ushered through to the restaurant area. It is quirky. I like that. This place is quite literally over the road from what used to be a huge railway engineering depot. We were sat in what used to be first class seats from the good old HST. The food was excellent. The menu was good. The waitress - Kari - was engaged and engaging. We had a great meal, a lovely experience - enhanced by Kari - and will be returning.

Have eaten here a few times and the atmosphere and food is excellent. Recent customer service has been top notch. I booked onto an event for an England game where payment upfront was required. I had to cancel the day of the event due to personal circumstances. Steamtown fully refunded me and my partner after the event without prompt. thanks again

After a 6 hour drive a man (and his wife and stepson and our puppy) need substance and beer. We visited on a Friday night (footy Germany v Spain) and it was busy unsurprisingly however the staff made us very welcome and found us a table for food. I can’t recommend the West Coast IPA enough and the food was great! Apparently the Disco Fluff lager was good too 😎 Second visit and can’t recommend this place enough, good beer, good food and fantastic staff - well done on achieving this!

Really enjoyed my (albeit brief) session. Pint of their NZ pale with burger and chips. The staff were very friendly and pub has bags of character.

Coeliac/gluten free food review: Great gf choice and separate fryer. We sat in the bar (as opposed to the restaurant) and were assured before ordering that the gf food is cooked in a separate fryer. About half of the menu is gf or has a gf alternative including fried chicken, burgers, dirty fries and loaded tater tots. They also do gf kids options and some vegetarian and vegan food. Dessert wise there is only ice cream for gf, but we were stuffed so dessert was not needed (I had the gf chicken strips, my OH had a burger and we shared loaded tater tots). They have a good drink selection including gf beer, and outdoor seating so we finished our drinks in the sun. The staff did say they try their best to ensure the safety of gf/allergens including a separate gf fryer, although they said they have a small kitchen so can’t 100% guarantee (but I find most restaurants say this, even those which are coeliac UK accredited). I had no problems (being a coeliac myself) so I would recommend.

Good food+drinks and friendly staff

Great selection of ales and ciders. Helpful and knowledgeable staff who are happy to offer guidance. Tell them what you like and they'll recommend something. Had food too, great burger and dirty fries. Didn't book and they squeezed us in. Great service. Really close to Eastleigh train station. Hop on the train for a great night.

Was in Eastleigh for just the 1 night, saw the reviews of Steam Town and had to visit. It did not disappoint the K.F.C burger was outstanding as well as the 2 beers I sampled. Couldn't recommend enough, if ever back in Eastleigh will be paying another visit 5 ⭐

Excellent burgers and beers and lovely staff. Although it was a really busy night the staff managed to get us a table. We were very impressed with how we were looked after by Kari and her new trainee. Kari was the perfect host very friendly and very attentive checking with us that everything was alright, thank you.

Very nice brewery, and their burgers 😮‍💨🤤 10/10 I attached some photos of the menu so you can get an idea on the prices

If you love the gourmet burger experience then this is the place! A short walk from the station and ideally located as a watering hole or as somewhere for a sit down meal. There's bound to be something to suit everyone's taste. The staff are super welcoming and have got the balance down for just the right amount of attentiveness. Great selection of beer, ale and cider. A good number of which are brewed on site. There is also live music on some nights.

Went for dinner with some friends on a Tuesday evening and had a lovely time! Food was delicious, very vibey atmosphere and decoration, and the waitress Kari was WONDERFUL! She was welcoming, friendly and caring. 10/10 recommend.

Great beer, plenty of GF beer for those who need it. Cool vibe.

I have been here twice and I always had a superb experience. The bar staff are wonderful; extremely helpful and happy to guide you through the extensive list of options, unafraid of serving a free sample to ensure you like it, and what is more important with a smile! The environment was clean to high standards and on both occasions, there was pleasing live music playing which just enhanced the experience. The food also looks amazing... In short, I highly recommend this location!

Bar understaffed on arrival early Sat evening with one person serving and many customers waiting. However the barman maintained a very friendly and amenable attitude. Beer good with a wide choice of cask, keg and bottled. Food better than previously with lovely crispy fries and tasty burger (that was smaller than the bun). Very kind, friendly and attentive waitress. A physically attractive and comfortable venue, however the noise from primarily groups of males was almost unbearable, and made it extremely difficult to hold a conversation. Unclear whether it's the norm for the clientele, or caused by the acoustics of the building. Added to the cacophony was an amplified sea shanty type singing group which seemed wholly inappropriate for the time and venue. I'd certainly go again for good food and beer but wouldn't choose evening time.

Shame I don't get here too often. A great little place, ideal for the real connoisseur of good ale. Railway and bus stations well within walking distance, so no need to drive there. If you haven't already, go here and enjoy.

Unfortunately a not great experience at Steamtown. We had booked a while in advance but were treated as if we were an inconvenience by the gentleman allocating tables. We were crammed in between a very loud party, another couple making phone calls continuously and a wall, so we had very little room. We left very quickly as frankly we weren't enjoying the evening.

Drew gave us a great experience tasting all the differnent beers available since we didn't know what to get. The atmosphere and decor is great. The food came promptly and was tasty, very fair for the value!

Tonight’s visit to Steam Town was so good. Food brilliant and beer good. Our server kari was outstanding and made us feel so welcome and nothing too much trouble. My only complaint and this has happened on previous visits but tonight by far the worst was that so many loud groups of sweary men all trying to be the alpha male! I think part of the problem is the acoustics in the place that maybe a few soft furnishings would sort out. We just couldn’t hear ourselves speak at times!

Went to Steam Town Brewery on a Thursday evening whilst they had some live music on. The band 'Still Standing' were great, playing a range of hits and really bringing the vibe up. We'd booked a table and all enjoyed burgers and chips whilst sat in the comfortable chairs behind the main bar, and stayed for pudding as well. The table service from Kari was brilliant, and whilst there was an app available to order from, we didn't need to use it as she was so efficient. Will be back again in the future!

Lovely friendly bar sometimes with live music. I haven't had the food there yet

GooD beer obnoxiou people stsnddingg in a way too small

Superb brewery. Great choice of beers, good food and great service.

Fantastic experience had last night. Couldn't fault the food, beer or service. Will definitely return! Watch out Brewdog, you have stiff competition

Great venue and the staff are fantastic. Last time I went though the food had halved in size. I much rather they were honest and put the prices up rather than make you feel like you’ve been ripped off. It’s a shortsighted way of doing business.

Cracking little place 5 minutes walk from the station. Enjoyed the selection of beers and food with a hanger of mates. Staff were great and the prices are spot on. 👍

Tasty food, great value and excellent selection of drinks. I had the loaded fries which were delicious and the mac cheese as a side. Kari was a great host!

Came here while visiting relatives as I'm not local. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere. The food was so good even my youngest loved it (he's a very fussy eater). If I didn't live a 3 hour train journey away, I'd be here more often.

Brilliant afternoon, had a family get together.food, service and atmosphere. A1 thanks 😊

Great little place, lovely home brewed beers and good burgers. Even better on band nights🙂

Lovely friendly staff. Quick service. Food outstanding. Burgers are without a doubt the best I have ever had. Quirky decor ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'm glad we found this place online. Looks like a normal pub from the outside, but inside it's completely different! Cosy bar at the front and then industrial/train style in the restaurant area. The burgers were fantastic and a HUGE selection of beer & cider. They had my favourite Thistly Cross cider which I haven't seen anywhere for ages.

This was my second visit. The first was an experience in customer service, and the second was a great experience. Thank you to the staff, and we will be back in soon.

What a gem - we had such a warm welcome from the lovely people behind the bar. Great selection of drinks and cosy atmosphere. I really love the decor too. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to a friend!

This is a place that knows how to look after its customers. The staff are the absolute best and they make you feel so welcome! They really know how to take care of you. The food is incredible and all locally sourced which just adds to the quality of this pub! The choice of drinks is really good and if you’re not into the IPAs etc there is a wide choice of other drinks available! We were lucky enough to book a table for dining when they had one of the fantastic bands playing! Great music, great atmosphere and somewhere I am proud to take family and friends! Thank you Steam Town for a fabulous night out! You are all wonderful

What a find . Steam Town Brewing Company has got it just right fantastic range of drinks , food just right and live music definitely a win win . Lovely staff making it a great experience not to mention the on site brewery. Spot on . Well worth a visit .

What a great place. We went there for Beer Knights beer tasting evening as I had heard they had some gluten free beers......some.... they had eight ! They were all really good and the hosts (Catherine & Aaron) were the real brewers so able to answer all of our questions about the beers. Food was also great - Cathy & Liam dealt with my gluten free requirements brilliantly. We will definitely be back....Great evening.

Great night at the beer knights...... beer tasting, brewery tour and dinner. Hosted by the knowledgeable brewers from steam town!

Lovely evening with lots of choice of beers. Good serve and a band.

I have never been disappointed with this place. I’ve been visiting this pub since we moved into the area 2 years ago. My experience has always been good, my husband and I either go alone, meet up with friends or family. The service has always been good, efficient and friendly. If you like your ale or cider this place is great. The food is fresh and tasty. They sometimes they have bands on - which can be a bit of a squeeze but they play in the bar so the restaurant area is not effected. You can hire out upstairs for a reasonable amount of money. We did this and held a get together for our neighbours. Fun venue, a good all rounder.

You have to visit Steam Town. We were served by Jerry, never had such a fantastic server, full of energy, a real character and nothing was a hassle. Our food was amazing, perfect for everyone, meat eater, vegetarian and gluten free all catered for! We were very comfortable, the pub is so warm, inviting and unique. But the experience was made all the better thanks to Jerry. Highly recommend eating here!

A FAB place for yummy food, loads of great craft beers and fantastic live music. Love it! ❤️

I went to Steamtown this evening, for possibly the sixth or seventh time, and every time it has been lovely, but a friend has just suggested that I send a review: I’m not a particularly TripAdvisor review person, but in this instance, I think it’s worth it. You’ve got a beautiful brewery and pub, with an interesting and original decor, which serves its own beers and many others, but much more beyond that, and I think it has captivated people from all kinds of backgrounds in the area. Aside from the lovely beers that they produce , they do really good food, but beyond that, you have fabulous, attentive and warm service: you ask for a slight change to the food, and that change you get, and it is done with a smile, as if it’s the most obvious thing in the world to do : it is for them, I think they enjoy serving people. Good beer, good food, great atmosphere, human warmth: surely the epitome of what we like.

Great local venue, such a large selection of different drinks and food and service is always good

Had a quick pint here, and sampled the Ralph Dutton, very nice! Looks like a place to come back to for sure...

We started our studio's Christmas celebrations at Steam Town Brewery. We hired the event space which was really funky with full tech available for our presentations. We then had a beer tasting session and an amazing burger lunch. The team at Steam Town were really accommodating and friendly. A great venue.

The best pub in Eastleigh! Live music is always fun. Burgers and dirty fries (what more could you ask for)...oh yeah amazing beers and ciders! Vg and Gf catered for too. Just wish it was bigger because it is so popular it is always busy. Booking in advance recommended.

Great beer and lovely food. Best pub/bar in the area.

Used the upstairs function room for an afternoon meeting and buffet. Excellent service ,good communication before the event. Loads of food for the buffet ,friendly staff.

Evening out with friends, superb service, great burger and fries, all topped off with Steamtown's fine ale, a jewel in Eastleigh.

Brilliant atmosphere, friendly and accommodating staff. Food mainly various exotic flavour burger and chip combos and good desserts. Very popular.

Fast friendly service. Lovely food. Will definitely go back.

Even if you’re not fancy of fries and burgers, you need to visit this place to have a friendly chat with Jerry! Really loved the ambiance and will back for sure 😁 I highly recommend 🤝🏽

Good food good service good drinks. Comfy seats and great atmosphere. Good for lunch of a night out.

Great place for a beer. Staff friendly and really good service., sadly the food let it down ,frozen chips and the burgers taste better in McDonalds for a fraction off the cost. The macaroni cheese was solid absolutely disgusting. Won’t eat here again

Always a brilliant place to visit. Nice surroundings, helpful & friendly staff with great real ale, cider and food. Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely food and ambience, come hear once a week for singing practice though I feel my experience with the service has soured very quickly given a new staff face at the bar I have seen. Despite all other staff members being excellent, he overarches them completely with his ego and jobs-worthiness. My friends and I came as a three one evening (one of them I buying alcohol) and the other ACCIDENTALLY sipping one of them ONCE AND ONLY ONCE (the drinks looked pretty similar) having no ID and NONE of us immediately were served anymore that evening, NOT EVEN SOFT DRINKS! At least one of the other more sensible staff members gave her a refund. And yet the guy claimed they would be shut down by licensers, well his attitude could have led to that already and there were no licensers there!! Complete abuse of power leading to a painful reduction in rating, which I will hear no more justification about. Thank you regardless to everyone else who gave us wonderful and reasonable hospitality.

Booked a table for 3 late Sunday afternoon. On arrival we were very warmly greeted, shown to our table and handed menus. Drinks order taken quickly followed by our food order. Both my wife and son had a double burger, one with cheese and both ordered house fries. My choice was the Southern Fried Chicken burger with house fries. The food arrived approx 20 mins later, freshly cooked and absolutely yummy. We ordered desserts, for me chocolate fudge cheese cake and my son ordered the most expensive dessert on the menu which was the chocolate brownie. This was certainly value for money and not what I expected, yes I will be back. THIS PLACE IS A MUST TO VISIT. Great food and service 10/10

Amazing little pub with even better ale’s & hospitality, opened early for us travelling away Dover fans Nice atmosphere and friendly welcome

this spot is a nice evening establishment giving a wide range of alcoholic beverages in addition to that the staff were so welcoming.

Fab place for food. Atmosphere was good. Server was excellent and knowledgeable about the drinks and the place as a whole.

Nipped in after a long Sunday walk. Amazing beer (recommend the steamtown stout) and glorious salad- choose this if you go. I'm totally omnivorous but opted for the V version of this salad as it sounded and tasted so delicious. Filled me up- couldn't finish it but felt healthy and nutritious all the way. Explosive flavours.

We had a lovely burger 🍔 . Staff were very friendly and we were able to taste an ale before ordering. First class service . Would recommend we had a great evening.

So good! In these weird times Steam Town still delivers. Friendly service, great food and top notch beer. Also challenging 7bone in Portswood for the dirtiest fries in Hampshire, a great contest that I'm proud to be an unofficial judge for :)

Superb pub. Absolutely terrific. Love this place to bits. I'm gonna have to move nearer ain't I?

I was brought here by a family member who loves the place and was keen to show it off. He is rightly proud of it - I loved the range of beers which I was able to sample with a paddle of 3 beers. The decor is unusual but interesting - mix of industrial and rustic and the locals gave a warm welcome. It looks to be a great place to eat too with a tasty looking menu available which I'll work through next time. I thought the first class train seats gave a unique feel for those eating. I can see that there is a full programme of events here from bands to beer tours - all in all it has to be on your list of places to experience if you're in the area. I will be back.

Food is lovely, chicken and waffles is amazing. Staff and atmosphere are lovely. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent beer, good food, friendly staff, great atmosphere

A superb tour of a local micro brewery and a great place to meet friends. The food is superb and caters for vegetarians too. Try it out.

Brilliant, popped in for a swift few after going to Eastleigh Lakeside railway with our little one. Made to feel welcome, excellent beers on tap brewed on site. We will return to try the food, love the ex BR mk 2 seats in the restaurant area, as a train buff this raised a smile for me! Update August 2023, been back for food as well this time! Everything spot on an easy 10/10 from us.

Seb was incredible, made my visit really good will be returning. great beer recommendations, can’t wait to come back!

Great WC IPA brewed onsite with excellent food, pleasant knowledgeable staff. The bar has a great welcoming an easy recommendation.
