please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
I am told the pub will reopen but it will take awhile as listed building consent is required for the work that needs to be done.
Hopefully sometime later in the summer.

Terrible news regarding the fire that took place at The Junction on Saturday night. Fortunately no one was injured. I was by no means a regular, probably visited a dozen times a year usually on my way from the station towards the valley, but always received a warm welcome and a top quality pint. It defied the Greene King trend of awful pubs. Heres wishing the landlord and landlady well and genuinely hope to see the pub up and running again in the not too distant future.

Friendly staff, good food, real ales, variety of soft drinks, including hot drinks, lots of involvement in the community and raising money for local charities.
Comfortable atmosphere, safe place for lone females to go for a quiet drink with a book.
A range of events through the week with games and books available for customer use.

forget the fact that it's greede kerchink, there's lots of other good independant guest beer, great atmosphere, very friendly landlord and staff, and a very nice pub all round

Super Inn Junction (and not just because of the brilliant gossip you can pick up !) is the best way to describe this excellent community pub. St Denys is one of the best places in Southampton to go out for a beer and the Junction is the best pub there. Friday nights and Sunday afternoons (the meat raffle) are my favourite sessions. A proper pub, highly recommended.

Forget the Greene King sign, I had a top class pint of mild (greene King) very good Brains Bitter (Brains) and an splendid pint of Yorkshire terrier (York). I could also have had Timothy Taylors Landlord AND the full range of Greene King beers.
The Licensee's tell me they are going to have even more freedom to source real ales outside of the Green King stable, good news, an already very good pub has just got better.

As noted, this Greedy King pub is an example of how much better GK could be, for example, check out the Brunswick in Bournemouth, which has the best ale selection on the south coast...anyway, i digress....this place is very nice- how the British pub probably used to be and could still be once we get the noose of the brewery system off our necks...good range of beers, not just GK, I had a few Hookey whilst there, well kept- think I might have had a GK mild too!!! There was a meat raffle which was a bit disturbing but we joined in and had a good laugh- good crowd- there is food but we didn't partake so no comment. For chunky cat fans, there is one who liberally strolls about the place offering the customers out. This is a good score for me!

There are two great pubs within a block of each other, close to St Denys station. The competition obviously keeps the standards up, as both are great. This one has a wide selection of ales (don't be put off by the Greene King designation) and quality hot food served quickly and cheerfully, for an amazingly low price. Despite some tables being marked "reserved" when we visited (not sure why), everyone found a seat and had a good time here.

GK IPA and Abbot plus the more unusual Mild and Hardy's and Hansons Bitter. Also Bkack Sheep Bitter and 6X. A little disappointed as I thought the guest ales might be better. Decent enough local boozer and worth a stop between South Western and Guide Dog.
|
A great little Pub, was a regular there for many years, and will be returning after a 15 year gap as I will be moving back into the area.

Baxterfish is missing the point in his post- this might be a Greene King pub but it sells all their seasonal beers and guests- which have included Tom Woods, Bath Ales, Black Sheep, Wadworths to name a few & the beer is always in excellent condition
The interior of the pub is excellent, always spotlessly clean with many original period Victorian features; there is a also a fantastic beer garden. Run by a charming couple, Dawn & Martin who have been here for about 7 years. The food is average but cheap.
On balance, the best pub in St Denys- not the best for sheer choice in terms of different beers (that honour goes to The South Western Arms) but the best all rounder.

Top class local, a listed victorian pub (still got a bar billiards table), good pub food and a friendly atmosphere.
In the Good Beer Guide because the beer is kept in very good condition. Yes it is Greene King Who are notorious for only ever producing mid-brown low hopped beers but the difference here is that the licencees are continually pushing GK on their guest beer policy. So as well as the full GK range (including the rarely avalable mild) the often have beers like Brains best, Timothy Taylors Landlord and Okells bitter.
This part of Southampton is well served for good real ale pubs and in my opinion the Junction is top of the tree.
|
Very nice pub, but don't understand why it's in the Good Beer Guide as it only does the nationally available GK brands. The SW Arms down the road is far better for beer quality and choice.
|
Excellent family pub in the day - nice garden, kids menu, welcoming environment. Good evening pub too, quality beers, friendly staff, highly recommended.
|
A charming community pub with a great atmosphere!
Its great to sit out in the garden during the summer, though inside it is always warm and cosy.
The delicious, uncomplicated pub grub is always served with a smile, and the staff are very friendly.
Well worth a visit if you're nearby!
