Yates Southampton in Southampton

Amazing ! I've been served by Gawain and it was wonderful

Came in on Tuesday evening to watch the football with my other half and a girl behind the bar who I think she said her name was Bonnie was extremely bubbly and chatty and made us feel very welcome along with the young man who was also behind the bar . Not been in before but will certainly be back and not just because hubbies team won .

Gawain was a dream. Fab service. Lovely staff. Thank you!!

Was really busy but that's what we like the atmosphere was amazing the staff were incredible (shout out to Charlene). The beer was amazing and fresh and just £2.50 incredible happy hour. If your around head to yates you won't be disappointed

Went to yates over the weekend and it was amazing the atmosphere was incredible. Charlene served us and she was so welcoming and amazing. The food was delicious and a great prices. The range of beer was also amazing and the prices £2.50 for a moretti on happy hour will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend

Yates have really upped their game. Haven't been here for a while. The staff are so much more happier and welcoming. The deals are so good especially the happy hour and bottomless brunch. Huge shout out to Charlene who served us during out bottomless brunch. Thank you. Highly recommend

Came here last night, reasonable priced drinks and lots to choose from, music and atmosphere was brilliant, staff were friendly and helpful especially Charlie, cant wait to come back next weekend 💃🏻

Not a bad pub just need a refurb and unfortunately there was only server at the bar. The drinks were priced ok.

Joke pub, raise there prices to suit them, disgusting pub

We only been here once so far for a bite to eat so can't really say what it like but seemed ok & staff was friendly

Only been in there once and the choice of beer was poor and the food cold.

Great prices and friendly staff :)

Went to watch a Southampton game on television. Great pint. Great price. Great service

Seeing as I was emailed to ask for my rating.... I had to cancel our Xmas party due to illness and I asked to rebook but they took my deposit and said I'd have to pay another deposit to rebook. At no time was I told this was a non refundable deposit. I was told I'd get a call back regarding this but no one has called. I will not be re-booking for this, or any other occasion in the future. Poor customer service.

Great restaurant, we felt very comfortable.

charlie behind the bar is amazing my mum dropped a drink by accident and he was playing around and what a star and made her a new one

Popped in for a few drinks, decent little place, take I.D as you won't be allowed in without it.

What a place I usually pop in when visiting Southampton but I certainly hope someone has cleaned the place since my visit in late October, the carpet needs to be cleaned!! You've heard the saying sticky carpet? Well if someone got a shampooer over this place they could probably resell it to the punters at the next Southampton home game. Food was normal fare well priced and drinks were cheap with great service. Oh nearly forgot clean the seats and furniture as well the seats my friends and family were going to sit in by the window on enterring to your right stank of urine! Yes this really was the straw that broke the camels back. We had already ordered food and luckily we spotted the contaminated seat and moved upstairs to eat. Please please get the place cleaned.

Quick service and great value for money. Could do with a refurb

It's a Yates. Friday night and popped in for a drink while walking past. Not many in there. Music was dance tunes (no DJ). Good selection of drinks, good prices. Friendly staff and doormen. It is what it is for a Yates.

Plenty of TV screens to watch the football

Not a bad place for a quite stop during the weekdays

Played musical bingo great fun won 4 times too woop woop recommend trying it :)

Music (noise) FAR too loud! Food was OK, service was very prompt and friendly. Place was a little bit sticky but otherwise fine. Drinks were 2005 prices!

Great food, great service! Staff are all lovely especially Jack who was helpful when helping me to decided what to order. One of the best pubs in the city, definitely recommend!

Great atmosphere Gawain is a asset

The staff are amazing at this pub especially charlene. Great range of food and drink and the prices are incredible. Would recommend for a night out. Very clean and tidy pub as well

Food was basic portions were small. Steak was tough and chewy. Pizza was overcooked, but I like it like that. I had the spicy chicken. Plenty of Sirrachie sauce and loads of Jalapeños. No cask ale. Decor tired and looks dirty.

Don’t eat here ! The atmosphere is nice for a drink however we popped in for lunch and got a pizza each. The pizzas were like cardboard and one of them was still cold in the middle. It was alright value for money but definitely wouldn’t eat here again

A few drinks before a show,good atmosphere in there with away football fans.

Here you can see e.g. live soccer and happy hour is every day, and affordable.

Very clean, pleasant staff, spotlessly clean toilets. Good prices on drinks.

Was there before the southampton v ipswich game great atmosphere with all the ipswich fans

Best place in town to watch sport, good atmosphere and friendly staff would definitely recommend

Lovely day at Yates grabbing some quick food and beers served by the kind gentleman Jack

Great atmosphere and cheap food and cheap drink what more could you want

It is unfortunate to have to rate this experience so low. My wife and I neither had the time nor the patience to be "those people" to complain about the cafeteria food that was served: Peas were undercooked. Steak was not served as ordered as it was over cooked and didn't feature the Diane sauce as ordered. My wife's "Steak and Ale Pie" was a dreadfully dry disappointment. I'm fairly certain a desert has more moisture than the main course; however, there was a redeeming boat of gravy that was able to saturate both of our plates and distract us from the rather dismal excuse for cooking that was provided. Not much else redeems this establishment, for the cocktails were weak if not completely misadvertised as being cocktails when they should've been advertised as mocktails. My recommendation for readers here is to try this rather normal establishment at the risk of being disappointed.

Nice chilled venue with friendly staff and reasonable prices. Happy hour deals are really good.

I was there early evening during Happy Hour. Food was good. Atmosphere quiet. I think it livens up later.

I enjoyed my time, felt comfortable and spoke with loads of people. I'd definitely recommend this place. The staff were super friendly.

Amazing service from Grace and Inês. They could pour a pint with their eyes closed

Very happy with the service and friendly staff,food was as expected and good value.

best bar in southampton, the service was amazing and fast and the food was great! will definitely be coming back again. special thanks to gawain who was fantastic. great happy hour deals had a moretti for 2.50!!! favourite pub the best in southampton its fantastic!!!

Great beer great price just when i needed it

I attended this pub today for a lunch with my friends for my birthday.. my friend ordered cheesy garlic bread as a side but it came with no cheese so she went to speak to the manager that was on shift and his reply was your have to pay extra or get out!! He then gave her a refund and told her to get out. We was stood outside and he’s come out and shouted oh your eating now and through her change at her and my 2 year old child which she then had to pick it up off the floor!! My other friend then asked for his name as we wanted to make a formal complaint and he told her to also get out. This man was absolutely disgusting towards us and was abbusive to women would have been different if we were men. I wouldn’t waste your time going there if he is on shift! As a manager you would want your customers to be happy right? Instead we got verbally abused!! Reply to Charlie who’s writing back!!!! This wasn’t the case at all two of my friends approached the bar separately and you got abusive and told them to leave because of an issue with garlic bread! If you actually take pride in your job as a manager would you not just replace it and apologise? Instead you tried to make her pay extra for something she’s already purchase!! One of my friends asked you for your name and you barred her… We’re wait to see what the cctv reveals once head office has reviewed what has happened and your vile abuse towards women!! writing back to comments to try and make yourself better how many pubs have you actually been through I wonder why? I’ve never experienced a pub like it. I come out with my friends for a lunch and my 2 year old child!! No abuse was given until you said oh your eating then and through money whilst my child was with her £1 coins must I add!! Some of us left at our own accord not you asking us to leave. You then approached the same lady for the second time when there wasn’t any need? Stop trying to make yourself look good on google reviews!!

Great place for a night out in Southampton, great atmosphere, great prices, great staff, Christian and charlie are absolutely brilliant and provide top notch service, absolutely recommend!!

Had a AMAZING time at Yates with my friends was served by Jack who was very quick and nice to talk to.

What a place! Literally does it all sports, pool, good deals and just a chill vibe. Would highly recommend for a good time.

Friendly bar staff attend to all your needs

Came for dinner with my family and had a fantastic time. Great prices, great atmosphere. Charlie, Chris and Gawain had top notch service. Will come again

Was out for family meal of 4 1 meal wasn't delivered to table after repeated saying 4 meals when ordering was told one was on way and dint arrive I had a bit of Plastic in my curry staff basically didn't care we were on limited time as going to the theater so one didn't get a meal and the staff basically shrugged and said what do you want me to do about it it was the attitude and disregard of an apology wouldn't go there again left disappointed and annoyed as it was ment to be a treat and a night out we did leave enough time before comment it was a long wait to start with

Very quiet not a bad pub cheap drink.

Watched the football the bar was quiet

Barman was very polite when I asked if he was serving food 2hrs before a football match. Food was really nice. Pub was very clean.

Alfie is a really great man. He really made my experience a one of a kind! Please cherish this man he deserves a pay rise! I’ve never had someone put so much effort into making me feel looked after at a simple English pub! What a bloke !!!💙

Great place to stop for lunch and a tipple

Good place with good wine.. spl deals and discounts for students...

Quality bar to watch the world go by

A nice place to eat around lunchtime, good value food, but get there early if you want the chip shop platter, when I got there at around 4pm they had run out of fish, I got the all day breakfast and it was tasty, but there was a few items missing from it if it was a proper cooked breakfast, but it was tasty and was plenty for me on the day!

Atmosphere great while the football was showing Drinks served in a timely manner. Staff were not interactive. No acknowledgement when clearing and replacing menus on tables

We were the first to step inside the bar around 11 and it started filling up later . A really nice place to hang out. I'm sure it get's a lot busier later hours

Went there with my sister for lunch. Had fish 🐟 and chips 🍟 and mashly peas and bread 🍞 and butter 🧈 and lagar and blackcurrant 🍺👍🏻👌very well done 👏 ✔️ and enjoy our meal 👍🏻 😊 😋😋🥰👌

Lovely experience - thank you to Gawain for all your help with drinks recommendations and for being really friendly! Would recommend for a family meal

Decent bar. Plenty of screens for live sports. Happy hour on a Sunday. And the food was good quality considering it's a chain.

Came in for a bite to eat with my Mother. The staff were super helpful and friendly and the food was really nice and good value for money. Definitely recommend.

Game of pool very good beer 🍺 a portswood classic

Went to YATES In the evening had a wonderful evening was served by jack and Gemma who served us lovely 2 for 5.55 coronas

Excellent food and drink . Half price food during happy hour.

Went for a lovely lunch with work colleagues served by Jack. It’s an amazing pub and food

It's a Yates, it's a half star better than a spoons. What would I recommend, probably go anywhere else

Yoink! Great bar! Unfortunately right on the main street, but otherwise good!

Happy hour!! take advantage of it!!

Excellent service from gwaine amazing bartender and bouncer matt made sure I was safe and felt like I belonged

Place always seems to empty and when it’s not empty it’s full of students who think the earth is flat

The worst security ever rude and unpolite they think they are cops or superior than a civilians.The drinks were OK.

What a great evening, one of our group had a little to much to drink but the inside doorman Matt I think his name was. Helped my friend outside where Scott again think his name was stayed with my friend whilst we got our stuff. They were very polite and understanding and the drinks are priced fairly all staff were great but dj could maybe find some music from this decade.

Chinese roasted meat section is brilliant and well cooked. Dimsum selection is not bad but like some dimsum restaurants arround the area, some items become limited availability later on the day, like the egg tarts.

Popped in here on a rare Saturday night out with the husband. It was like stepping back in time! The place hasn't changed at all since the last time I was in there (around 15 yrs!) The music took me back and the people were friendly, everyone just having a good time. Staff were polite and the drinks were reasonable! Would pop in again for a few drinks and have a boogie!

Amazing place to have a pint bar staff are very friendly prices are amazing would recommend a visit.

Great pub with great staff especially charlene who was very helpful with what drink offers they were offering, food looked amazing and the atmosphere was good, the happy hour was amazing, where else would you get a Birra Moretti for £2.50?!

Food is good with lots to choose on the menu. Gawain gave me excellent service, recommending some dishes. Drinks are really cheap, heat range during happy hour.

Loved my Guinness on 17/03/24, a pleasurant day to enjoy my favourite tipple.

Sports bar, great if you want to watch sport, not if you want to have chill drinks

Jack made my night great service big smiles and kept the misses happy whilst I had fun on the fruity defo coming back

Had a fantastic night. Great enjoyment and great entertainment at at decent price. Thanks to Jack for making the night really special

Gawain was a diamond of a host, Recommended a fine gin to go with my steak and it complimented it fantastically, He is a real gem to the company!

What a prime example of a british pub- was served by Jack & Gemma, and had a great experience. The atmosphere and staff were lovely & the goujons i had were tasty. Will be coming back again soon :3

Gawain is the best server - I couldn't carry my drinks to my table because of my arthritis, but lo and behold here I am with a pint in my hands and a warming feeling from excellent customer service!

Yates is the best pub in southampton !! Amazing atmosphere and the staff, special shout-out to Gemma, are incredible. Would 100% recommend and I will be returning soon !!!

Amazing pub. Staff were helpful especially Chris. Food was delicious, great selection of drinks behind the bar and an amazing atmosphere really enjoyed my night out with my mates look forward to coming back to this place very soon.

Great place to go to watch the footy and NFL when it's on, got served by Gawain on this occasion, quick pint and had a good chat about the Bears.

Service was excellent thanks to Gawains enthusiastic nature

Lovely time at this pub. Great food and class service from Gawain behind the bar. Will for sure be going back again soon!

Decent prices, food was great and the barman Gawain was on point serving. My go to Southampton sports location

As a Yates goes its one of the better ones, the vibe of the venue and staff were inviting and pleasant. Special mention to the bar man who served me Gawain (think thats how its spelt) he always had a smile and a laugh to go with every order.

Really great student deals and a well managed team Thanks Gawain for helping me choose the perfect pint for me Great taste in IPAS thanks again

Came in to watch football, was served by Gawain who made the experience a very good one.

Went there for the quiz night on Thursday. Great atmosphere and drinks. Gawain at the bar was friendly and attentive, with a great beard!

Gawain served me earlier today, and I have to say that his customer service was above and beyond anything I've ever experienced. What a charming gentleman - gave me so much information about the products on offer, and really made my day. Props to Gawain for a truly heartwarming interaction!

Popped in for a drink and game of pool, jack was very accommodating- thanks!
