I'm coming to uni in Southampton in October and I was wondering where the best Saints supporters pub is, not to get completely hammered, just to have a nice civil drink and a chat, the only pub I know of that looks like it always has Saints fans in it on match days is near the Bitterne Station, so I was wondering if there were any highly rated bars

Royal Oak is one of the best. It,s full of Saints fans , has Sky and Setanta for games before and after and dead sexy girls behind the bar. Enjoy!

 

Must take forever to get served.

The Eagle is usually a good pub to go to on Match days. Quite a few friendly people go there. and there is a lot of banter between fans usually.

The Guide Dog in Bevois Valley has a good reputation for beer and is good on a match day for a chat.

A case of how many elephants can you get in a mini, if I ever saw one!

Kingsland Tavern is always a laugh.

 

You must have a very strange definition of laugh.

 

 

Did you in fact mean "fight"?

Shame it's not open yet, I'd have given it a go tonight.

Bit of a bloody mouthful. They never give their pubs sensible names.

I don't even understand the name. Out of curiosity I tried to find out who Sir Lucius was... wiki has no entry for him although apparently he had a dad called Admiral Sir Roger Curtis who commanded a few ships in the American War of Independence. The guy subsequently got grounded after sending in dodgy reports to the Admiralty about some of his captains after the Glorious First of June battle.

 

Feck knows what Lucius did but he has now a pub named after him! Maybe Wetherspoons kocked up!

He probably just inherited the name from his dad. Lazy arse.

Admiral Sir Lucius Curtis was Admiral of the Fleet between January 1864 and September 1865.

 

He was from Southampton and was Grand Master of Hampshire freemasons.

 

He also previously owned Gatcombe House before selling it to the Royal Family (now Princess Anne's pad)

When i usesd to travel down from London for the games i would venture into The Square Balloon,i think it's just Squares or something now,and it was pretty ok,clean,plenty of space.

 

Now when i have gone in they are constantly out of beer,cider and alike.

This was usually put down to running out on the Friday night,**** poor organisation if you ask me,it isn't difficult to work out how may 11's or 22's you are going to require to get you through until the next delivery.Oh and i'ts bloody filthy.

 

So today i will venture to my usual gaff the Eagle.

Good to see another bar at Ocean Village, hope it does the usual range of good real ale. Then again, it might be more like a Lloyds No 1 given the waterside location. Soton has a fair few JDWs now - this new one, Standing Order, Giddy Bridge, Moon Under Water (Shirley). If JDW had ever built the planned pub in Portswood for the student market that would have been five in one city!

It used to be the Cork and Bottle on the corner of the traffic lights as you go into Ocean Village. Think it opens middle of October.

 

According to a post above, it opens today.

I've never seen anyone fight in there.

 

I have seen plenty.

 

The best being when the Mancs decided to gatecrash a wedding reception in there before one of our games. They didn't like the choice of music when Oasis came on the jukebox and they decided to kick off. Bad move by the Mancs, if it wasn't for the OB steaming in there would of been alot more blood up the walls.
