The Fifth Hants Volunteer Arms

Great pub. they always try to visit it when we visit.

A favourite pub for many years, but had fallen on 'difficult times ' in recent years but has now been revitalised by the young landlord his partner.

This is a proper old fashioned pub serving a good selection of beers eg HSB, London Pride etc. It also boasts Aiden, the youngest landlord in Portsmouth; who is a very warm and friendly man-perfect for the job. It has an upright piano which a couple of the locals still play and when they're not playing there's really good music in the background.

Decent beer and wine, friendly service. The refurb looks great. Dog friendly!

Lovely little pub, full of character. Staff always friendly and very reasonably priced drinks. Definitely worth popping in if you're in the area or before the theatre. Give the big noisy pubs a miss and keep little gem in business instead.
