The Grapes in Southampton

Great place. It looks like a proper pub. Very clean. There is plenty of seating inside and outside at the front. Beer good, staff friendly, and pleasant

The rooms were spacious and clean, we didn't see anyone at checkout, we left the keys in a box so we couldn't communicate any small shortcomings, but we will do so by email.

Good night out on Saturday and pub worth a visit

Only had drinks here. Good beer and service.

A charming, quaint & historic pub with rooms above the inn will not disappoint! The pub is cozy & nostalgic with personable bartenders. We loved the vibe! No lift to the rooms but clean & lovely room with generous bath area & Paul the owner goes over & above with coffee, hair dryer & many other amenities in the room for a comfortable stay at an affordable cost. Many excellent restaurants along Oxford St for a quick bite or leisurely meal. A short 10 minute walk to the cruise terminal. We will definitely return!

Left out luggage about 11am and had a wander round Southampton. Went back about 3pm to check in the staff member has already taken one of our heavy bags up and proceeded to take the other heavy oner up. FIRST CLASS SERVICE. Room was great with tea and coffee with milk and oat milk. Bottles of water and biscoff. Loved the room. Will definitely stay here next time we're in Southampton.

Hello, a clean pub with friendly service, good beer selection, I still stuck with a Guinness. Gladly again... :-)

Pub is absolutely not recommended. The “kids” behind the bar are screwing people over. Two Jamsons were ordered and one Jamson and one were delivered... “absolutely no idea”

Fantastic hub for any televised events you would want to watch. Always busy right in the heart of Oxford street.

Great Place to be. Friendly staff and a nice location

As a serious Titanic researcher and collector, I am very sad to have to leave a 1 star review for this particular location,, but unfortunately I had a VERY bad experience here very recently. The doors were open and advertising signage on the street, so my wife and I innocently walked in to then experience the worst abuse in the hospitality sector in recent memory - being shouted at and thrown out the door in a most nasty fashion because apparently they were not open yet. There really is no excuse for treating anyone in this manner - no matter if they were the owner or cleaning staff. So I am afraid I seriously do NOT recommend visiting this place and giving it, in seafaring terms, the proverbial "wide berth." Update: Claims in response by the owner below that my above review is "exaggerated" are quite simply false. At NO time would my wife and I after being told to leave ever 'proceed to enter the premises when it was clearly unsafe to do so.' This is completely and utterly false and diametrically against our non confrontational and risk adverse nature. We were indeed shouted at and chased out of the building and were both quite shaken by the unnecessarily unpleasant response. Why would we ever force our way in when a woman is shouting at us to get out? The fact that the owner would claim we are inventing this makes no sense at all - unless they are referring to another incident, which is quite possible considering what happened to us; there is clearly a staff/hospitality issue. So be warned - not only unpleasant staff but also prone to flights of fancy! Or perhaps just sour 'grapes'? Advice: find a nice pub somewhere else which is deserving of support.

Only had a drink a nice clean tidy pub

In the port area, to "relive" the atmosphere of the sailors, the crews and above all of the Titanic. Very friendly staff, great beer

5 STARS. Management and staff are brilliant. Very welcoming and friendly. The place gets so busy and the service is FAST FAST FAST, brill

We popped in for a quick drink yesterday, while doing a walking tour of Southampton and it was a must see place given its association with the Titanic. Staff were incredibly friendly and chatty, it was a pleasure to chat to the barman as we chatted about the Euros final and travelling back to Birmingham after being in town for a gig the night before. The pub is small but full of personality, the walls are full of Titanic memorabilia and it was nice to be able to walk around and take it all in. Can't wait to visit again

Very friendly good seating inside and out

Popped in for a quick pint and pleased to see a selection of real ales. Nice friendly staff and plenty of space to sit outside.

We booked rooms at The Grapes to stay for one night after a mini-cruise. We arranged to leave our suitcases at The Grapes at about 9.30 a.m. as check-in wasn't until 2 p.m. We had to wait outside for a while as there was no-one awake in The Grapes. We had a coffee across the road in XOXO. The rooms were absolutely fine and we enjoyed our stay.

Fun local pub with good atmosphere. Excellent venue for football and rugby matches.

Great pub. Being a true Sotonian I'm familiar with the venue. Very well stocked bar. Very clean in all areas. Comfy seats. Staff are always lovely. Service with a smile!

Small quaint pub with a couple of rooms. Located on the bustling Oxford Street. So if you are there Friday or Saturday nights it can be quite noisy from all the bars . Be prepared for climbing as there are 2 sets of stairs to get to the rooms , so definitely not mobility friendly. Rooms are simple , signs of wear but generally clean , I saw a heating unit but no Air conditioning. Easy check-in and checkout. Staff were lovely and you get a 10% off drinks card for your stay. No breakfast but there are plenty of places nearby about 25 min walk to the cruise terminal, bus station or train station

Slept here above the pub for one night. Getting out of the narrow stairs with your luggage is a challenge. The room was clean and had everything you needed for one night. It's loud but you know that beforehand. The service was short and sweet but totally ok.

My first time at this place, location is superb, same as the decorations. The only downside is that is an open space and is practically impossible to chat in there.

Good location for Sports and drinks. Didn't try the food and rent a room.

Grumpy manager, not very welcoming, will never set foot in the place again.

Very cool pub, there are many different types of beer, but above all the history behind this place is very interesting. Unfortunately there is no food on site. Still worth a visit!

Nice historical pub showing sports. A little pricey though

Thanks guys I enjoyed my beer 🍺

Very nice pub. Especially history because of the Titanic.

I have been coming here for years. Its in a great location and the clientele is a great mix of ages.

Variety of beers and if you are a fan of the Titanic, it has a story about this ship and you can find plans of the ship.

Nice place, good selection of drinks, bar staff friendly and efficient. Took off 1 star for having to pay £25 deposit for awful pool cues.

We visited on a quiet Sunday, nice atmosphere still. They didn't serve food but let us bring food in from the takeaway next door which was a great touch.

Went in, had a drink. It was served quickly, it was cold, and flushed some blood out of my alcohol system.

Noisy horrible sports on TV. Shame, this used to be a great pub. Service was a little slow but pleasant.

We were in the pub. We were served very friendly and informed about the types of beer. The pub is very cozy and clean. We felt very comfortable. We really enjoyed the Neck Oil (IPA) and the Madri (Lager). We would love to come back.
