I was in Southsea for a few days on my own and I kept being told that I should frequent the Auckland. Wonderful pub, atmosphere, clientele. Treat yourselves, go there, music is superb. Most importantly there is the lovely Helen. She clearly has such a warm heart. Look after her Southsea, they don't come along every day ❤️

As a friend of mine once said, all the best things happen at least one street off the main drag 😀 It's usually quiet, but there's a blues jam every first Sunday of the month that transforms it into a bustling little gem with a changing rota of musicians with a great repertoire 😀. For sensitive folks like me, earplugs are a sensible choice 😀

How a pub should be, I miss these sorts of places. The Aukland Arms, a little treasure in Southsea. Food gets 5 stars as it's got Bacon Fries and Scampi Fries, my kind of surf and turf 😀

Superb, musically orientated, very dog friendly, happy pub. Always a good evening or afternoon! ... and real ale too! Fair selection of crisps etc. instead of food! Only wish Helen (The Guv'nor), would bring it half a mile or so, closer to home; not so fleet of foot, these days😍😂! Lenny B 😎🎹🎷

Great little pub with traditional glazed tile tile frontage which was very common on pubs in Portsmouth due to the architect A. E. Cogwell. We popped in for a drink on a Sunday afternoon. Great atmosphere and the bonus of some live music. It's nice to see a traditional pub like this thriving. Highly recommended.

This is a round the corner pub (I haven't checked if it is really a pub or free house). I only spent an hour there and had a half pint of cider, and chatted bierfly with a few local people; I think they had curiosity of Asian people in this small pub that is escaped in the roads inside the living zone. I like the bar for a few things: intimacy (I imagine this is a social club for locals) . There is no loud music, though some background music is aired (I would prefer to a little bit more classic music; not necessarily classical music). The interior design. It's not that a lower ceiling wooden structure nor a grand design. It's tidy, clean, but shows the historical taste. Of course, I love the stint glass window. You can't see through to outside. Just like those found in churches. There is a corner that should be reserved for live music. It's a very small spot just for one or two people. Any downside? The choices of beer are limited, and most are known brands. Since there is no window so in hot days, I doubt they should keep the door open. By the way, they have a bench outside. Yes, it's a bench, not a table. Will I go there again? Definitely. Last weekend I just wanted to have a beer there, it was full house. I think this is why it's called a public house (if I'm correct, public may also denotes that they can sell any beer without restriction to those contracted or brewed)

Myself and a friend dropped in here during a three day visit to Southsea. The amazing tiling outside was what immediately attracted us - which we were told is listed. The inside resembles a front living room, a little cluttered but lots of interesting memorabilia and we got a warm welcome from the lovely landlady and other regular customers. The ale choice was good and well looked after. A really pleasant evening ensued. A must if you want to see how a homely local should be.

This wonderful place was a regular haunt for me forty odd years ago. I decided to revisit on the occasion of my brother's birthday. All four bros together in a pub that I had history in. I loved the "vibe" of the place. I will definitely be back sooner rather than later. The lady behind the bar was lovely, thanks for the memories Auckland Arms 👌🏻👍🏻

We happened across the Auckland Arms by accident. What a happy accident it turned out to be! Helen the landlady is probably the most welcoming, engaging and all round lovely landlady we’ve met. Very friendly, makes you feel at home right away and adept at walking you through all the gins on offer (there are plenty!) The Auckland Arms is a proper pub. No gaming machines, no gastro pretences, no darts or pool. Simply a pub where you can go and have a very nice drink or three in very pleasant company. There’s also regular music from a variety of musicians, and a small garden for when the sun shines nicely in Southsea. A happy weekend in a happy place with a decent selection of beer, some cider and plenty of different gins all at very reasonable prices.

A great pub that is very popular with the locals, very friendly service with reasonable range of drinks but cannot remember if they had any real ale on, On the first Sunday of the month there is accoustic music sessions with a sort of open mike policy where you can bring your own instruments and join in with the blues jam, sometimes the musicians outrank the customers in numbers and due to its popularity get there early in the afternoon for the music due to its popularity, outside decor is very pleasant with old fashioned multicolour tiling, depending on which way you arrive it looks like one pub entrance but the other bar is around the corner with its own entrance.

Absolutely loved the coffee and donuts at this place, and the vibe is exactly what I want from a coffee shop - Punk AF! It's a shame I only arrived 5 mins before closing on a Sunday because I would have loved to have been there longer, but the coffee was killer and the Smokin' Crack vegan donut was so good! Next time, hopefully I can spend a little longer there!

Mi nieta tuvo una fiesta de cumpleaños y por error pedimos un pastel de cumpleaños normal (mi nieto es intolerante a los lácteos). Así que estábamos cazando en la calle principal un pastel sin lácteos para darle. Como último pensamiento, llegamos a la costa y explicamos nuestro dilema, el joven que trabajaba allí se tomó el tiempo de leer el libro de alergias y seleccionar un pastel. Como si eso no fuera suficiente cuando fuimos a pagar, él rechazó el pago. Muchas gracias por el excelente servicio al cliente. Toda mi familia usa Costa y esto nos ha hecho querer visitar mucho más a menudo
