Both have dubious reps. Lovely one just down the road from me. Perhaps it only because there is one and when many get together, all hell breaks loose? http://www.thejesterhotel.co.uk

Do you know for sure that Tuesday isn't BDSM night?

The Wetherspoons in Southampton all seem to serve reasonably kept beers, and a changing range, and as you'll be saving yourself £1.50 a pint over normal pub prices it can add up. From then on it really depends on your age and tastes, but Southampton has never been a particularly vibrant city in the nighlife stakes (from my vague memories, that is..).

sussexsaint Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 I've gotten a lot older fatter and less coordinated since I last danced on a table there. Always used to go there after having a skinful in the Canute so memories have been a little hazy at times. I have a distant foggy memory of only having bottles in there - was that right ? So chuffed that the guitarist ended up as the landlord. If it really does go back to its former glory it gives me hope in a world where people asking for a decent pub are being told to go to a Weatherspoons
Griffo Posted 10 February, 2015 Posted 10 February, 2015 I've heard the Old Farmhouse is the place to be tomorrow night.

It has it's own thread: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?53265-Frog-amp-Frigate-Re-opening#.VNoNnvmsUYc I'm looking forward to it immensely. I once bought Neil Ruddock a pint in there.
