Albany Hotel, Albany Park

Fair enough Longshaft81, but �3.60 for a pint of Stella is hugely excessive for what you've got. I speak frequently to the staff in the station, many of whom have lived in Albany Park for years and remember when the pub was a true community local packed out most evenings in and out, with reasonably priced beer and often hosting charitable events and pensioners outings etc. What we've got now is a virtually empty pub most evenings, below par beer, and lack of atmosphere because of lack of clientele. And it shows people are not prepared to put up with it. I bet it will be gone in three years.

The Sir Loin Of Beef, Southsea

Next time I'm in Portsmouth I will make a point of making time for a visit to this superb gem of a pub. The one time I went in when visiting family I found the beer, service and pub atmosphere nothing short of perfect. Certainly spoilt for choice if you're a real ale fan. Get down and see it.

The Lanyard, North End

I remember when this was a church, only popped in there once - very intriguing to say the least. Seemed decent enough, good beer and full menu. Don't knock it till you've tried it, it's certainly different.
