    Great pub tucked away behind old Portsmouth looking out on the quayside. Perfect in summer with plenty of seating outdoors Inc a new gazebo for people who want some shade. Good selection of drinks for all, nice friendly staff and dog friendly, definitely recommend this great little hideaway.

    It is a shame that this experience was such a let down. I cannot fault the staff or the location nor can I fault the choice of soft or alcoholic beverages however, when booked for a special occasion my family were devastated because the venue had been informed over 2 months in advance that all but 2 in the party were vegetarians. Unfortunately it transpired, all veggie options had been discarded due to a breakdown of the freezer that stored the veggie stocks. I sympathise with the venue that this was beyond their control but I fail to understand why the organisers of the 21st Birthday Party were not informed, bearing in mind the breakdown had happened long before our advanced booking. Suffice to say the evening was ruined for my Grandson however, we returned to my house and ordered in takeaway pizza and curry for individuals along with using our own shop bought drinks. In short, the evening was saved, we all enjoyed our food, a family get together and inexpensive liquid refreshments. My Grandson will definitely remember his 21st, the cost was minimal, The BT lost a substantial financial input for a Monday night and in addition have lost several customers for the future. A simple message written or verbal would have avoided all the inconvenience and prevented this review. 😠

    Always a warm welcome in this pub. Great location to watch the fishing boats come in and out, on a hot day or summer evening it has plenty of outside drinking and eating space. Fantastic food choice, veggie options too. The desert menu is well worth a try! A must for anyone visiting portsmouth, or as a stop off on a walk around our island city.

    Excellent see food and wonderful service in the heart of the beautiful Old Portsmouth. This part of the city would not be so popular without The Bridge Tavern. And its outside area is the best! Simply the best:)

    My go to favourite pub for post Gun Wharf shopping, especially sat outside on the harbourside in the sun. The staff are always really nice, great choice of food and drinks and they always offer our 45kg hound a fresh bowl of water.
