Bark & Brisket

My new favourite place in Southampton! We celebrated my girlfriend's 30th birthday at Belgium & Blues and had a brilliant evening. The food we got was all freshly made and really tasty and there were plenty of veggie and vegan options for us to choose from. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and always made sure we had everything we needed over the evening. Most importantly the array of beers was vast and every single one I tried (which was a fair few) was delicious. Would highly recommend and I'll definitely be back for a pint in the bear future.

An easily missed gem on the main street through Southampton City centre. At street level it may not seem that appealing but once you go through the doors and down the steps you can really appreciate its charm. A cosy low ceiling with a mix of snugs, booths and high top seating around and opposite a welcoming and well stocked bar. Of course as the name suggests, there's a plentiful choice of beers, ales, lagers and ciders as well as spirits etc. We enjoyed a roast each. The food was rich and flavoursome and both the pork and brisket were superb. On the side we had cauliflower cheese and extra gravy was available by request. The music really set the scene, popular rock classics, as did the lighting and general decor. Through the week there are themed evenings....e.g live blues on a Thursday. The service was a little slow at first and could be a bit more engaging. But it was still good. Toilets were OK. Generally though... its a great place. Would be good for groups. We'll be back soon....

Great bar serving Belgian beers and various guest cask and craft keg. Always something here that I fancy! Food is also spot on - faultless roast and great burgers too. We always visit when in Southampton and manage to often spend a couple of hours here effortlessly! Friendly and attentive staff who know their stuff. Recommended.
