Disco pub ( now called Kingsleys bar) costs �3 to get in on a Saturday night.
Not a place to go to for decent beer, just a bar for some of the "interesting" locals to get drunk in and try and get off with each other..... sadly the standard is not high!
Topless male bar staff which is a interesting gimmick to get women though the door.

What have they done to this pub!!
not been in southsea for a while, went to the osborne and found it has been converted to a disco pub!!
Why do this to one of the best pubs in the area?
Wont be going back again!!

Forget my comment below, meant to be for The Marmion. Have asked for it to be removed but Bagpuss and the mice who run BITE don't seem to be at home. The Osborne is now Kingsleys Entertainment Bar BTW, that's all I can tell you.
|
oh my god, it's changed again, now like a 7o's disco of the worst kind, only frequented by over 50's women who think that they are under 25, don't go in unless you like lots of wrinkles and cheesy loud music

Very nice locals pub, one which we endeavour to visit when we get out. Nice atmosphere with a good clientele and so differnet to the plastic bars you get in Palmy road. One of these plastic pubs even had a bouncer on the door on a Monday night.A little gem IMHO.

what a change, now a very nice locals pub, what a difference a decent landlord makes

No dossers now. Been completely refurbished and now back to the good old pub it was. Great for a relaxing drink before going to the nearby restaurants. Quite a few seats which is always nice.
Started doing food as well.
|
it's been closed for a couple of months now, where are all the dossers drinking now?
|
Excellent old fashioned pub - a proper local. Regulars and staff both very friendly and you get a good pint. Weatherspoons, etc could learn a thing or two!

Southsea doesn't have enough pubs which serve decent food. This place does, it has a decent selection of beer, good mix of people and ages. Looks a bit forbidding from the outside with the small, frosted windows but that's a false impression. If you want a "proper" pub around here, it the Osbourne, the Apsley, or the Auckland, and that's it for about half a mile around now.

great atmosphere and real value for money food in this pub just opposite Debenhams in Southsea. The new landlord seems to really have brought this place up a lot and its now well worth a visit. Lots of mixed age groups helps to add to the 'Old English Pub' environment

Well worth a look , bit dark and dingy but more than made up for by the food .

A really good atmosphere with a mixed range of ages. It has that oldy worldy feel about it and serves a wide range of Ales. Good food too and at very very reasonable prices. Certainly worth a visit when in Southsea.
