  1. A

    Black Boy

    A celebration of English eccentricity, this adorable old pub is filled with obsessive and sometimes freaky collections, from pocket watches to wax facial features, bear traps, sawn paperbacks and tobacco pipes. Even the women's toilets cheekily sport gynaecological clamps and fish murals.

    Molokos Vodka Bar

    One of the city's slicker contemporary venues, Molokos lures in the youth of Winchester with just about every flavour of vodka under the sun, touts an R & B soundtrack and buzzing ambience. It graduates into a club on weekend nights.

    Still & West

    This relaxed salty-dogs pub on The Point has served many a sailor and smuggler in its day, and is still great for a drink on its waterside terrace, watching the passing yachts and ferries and looking back toward the Spinnaker Tower.

    Drift

    This hip London-style bar languishes behind whirlpool frosted glass and pebble-dashed front, has a slick chrome and wood interior, and lounge showcasing DJs on the weekends. Be sure to visit the quirky ultracool bathrooms.

    Spinnaker Tower Bar

    OK it's the most touristy café-bar in Portsmouth, but you'll find no better coffee-sipping and wine-supping vantage point to watch the boats slosh past than this glass-sided café below its namesake edifice.

    Wykeham Arms

    Somehow reminiscent of an endearingly eccentric old uncle, this is just the sort of pub you'd love to have as a local: 1400 tankards, school canes and a riot of flags hang from the ceiling, while seating comes in the form of worn school desks, lending pint-supping an illicit air.

    Still & West

    This relaxed, salty sea-dog boozer has served many a sailor and smuggler in the last 300 years. The waterside terrace is the place to down a beer to a backdrop of passing yachts and ferries.

    Black Boy

    This adorable old boozer is filled with obsessive and sometimes freaky collections, from pocket watches to wax facial features; bear traps to sawn-in-half paperbacks. The pumps produce five locally brewed real ales. Located just south of Black Rat.

    A Bar

    There's actually been a pub on this site since 1784 – these days it's home to worn floorboards, squishy leather sofas, a soundtrack of groovy tunes and a chilled, gently trendy vibe.
