There’s the high street, Above Bar Street with the chains in it. Yates, O’Neills and others. Probs the closet to the ground.
Then there’s old Southampton down near the docks.
Duke of Wellington
Old Red Lion
Standing Order
Dancing Man Brewery

These are probs 30 mins from the ground, but you can crawl via Oxford Street
Here there’s
Grapes
White Star
King Canute
It’s about a 15 minute walk to the ground. These are the better pubs imo, but I’m a middle aged swamp drinker, so not that keen on pubs favoured by the lageristas.
There is also London Road area, which is a bit studenty. But pre match might be quiet. There’s a Spoons and cocktail bars, plus a new brew dog.
All in all, plenty of choice.
Yes. Quite a fewis there any decent places for real ale? like old-man CAMRA pubs?
i had a google but its not clear, some of the info is 5-10 years old
Have heard there are a few smoking ones
Belgium and Blues on Above Bar has a good selection of swamp as well. Not far from the Giddy Bridge, a Spoons, which is always good for beer.is there any decent places for real ale? like old-man CAMRA pubs?

I’d disagree mate. I’ve been here for nigh on 20 years and there’s a lot of cracking real ale in Hants.The beer in Hampsire/Southampton is bloody awful, driven me onto lager unfortunately.

Scholars on AB also swampy, but Greene King. London Road Brew House usually good.
If you fancy something different, Olaf’s Craft Tun on the other side of the river in Woolston. Or The Butcher’s Hook in Bitterne. Both would mean a walk across the Itchen.

Probably best to do Belgium and Blues or The Alex then. There’s not a lot around the ground, so the nearest places are in the town centre. So big and foody.theres about 12 of us, so wont be able to walk far. we like proper old pubs, preferably places that don't do food , proper drinking dens

A long shot might be the Red Lion.
