The Auckland Arms - Portsmouth

What great little pub , we were made so welcome and I will definitely come back again soon. Great staff and great prices

Possibly the smallest pub in pompey, but has one of the biggest welcomes, well served ales, always a good chat going on, it really is a proper backstreet gem

Went with a group of friends for a cancer fund raising day.had a great day with a bunch of friendly locals and live music.Helen the landlady is brilliant.

Myself and a friend dropped in here during a three day visit to Southsea. The amazing tiling outside was what immediately attracted us which we were told is listed. The inside resembles a front living room, a little cluttered but lots of interesting memorabilia and we got a warm welcome from the lovely landlady and other regular customers. The ale choice was good and well looked after. A really pleasant evening ensued. A must if you want to see how a homely local should be.

We happened across the Auckland Arms by accident. What a happy accident it turned out to be! Helen the landlady is probably the most welcoming, engaging and all round lovely landlady we’ve met. Very friendly, makes you feel at home right away and adept at walking you through all the gins on offer (there are plenty! The Auckland Arms is a proper pub. No gaming machines, no gastro pretences, no darts or pool. Simply a pub where you can go and have a very nice drink or three in very pleasant company. There’s also regular music from a variety of musicians, and a small garden for when the sun shines nicely in Southsea. A happy weekend in a happy place with a decent selection of beer, some cider and plenty of different gins all at very reasonable prices.
