The Phoenix
Tucked away just off Albert Road, this charming community pub is a favorite among locals. The establishment, which features two bars, is a treasure trove of memorabilia related to Portsmouth and its beloved football club. Visitors can also enjoy a nostalgic touch with a tabletop Space Invaders machine in the public bar. The lounge area is a tribute to the nearby Kings Theatre, adorned with photographs of numerous celebrities who have graced its stage, including three members of the famous comedy group, The Goons. Adding to the unique charm of the place is a quaint patio garden that provides a delightful separation between the bars and the snug. The snug itself is a nod to the pub's history, as it was once part of the former Dock End brewery. This hidden gem is not just a pub, but a celebration of local culture and history, making it a must-visit spot for both locals and visitors alike.
