When it comes to bars in Portsmouth city centre, Brewhouse & Kitchen has to be right up there. With a stunning Tudor-look exterior and a cosy wooden vibe indoors, it's got your next pints covered - especially when you consider they brew their own beer on-site.

Right on the waterfront, you'll find Still & West - a gorgeous Grade II listed boozer combing nautical touches with modern charm. But the inside isn't even the best bit, as that gorgeous terrace with sea views proves.

Accommodating four bars over three floors, The Vaults is an impressive boozer in the heart of Southsea's bohemian district. Expect pub grub galore or a range of sharing boards and Sunday roasts, all washed down by your favourite cask real ale or craft lager.

After bars in Portsmouth Gunwharf Quays? Then check out Slug and Lettuce. This place is a mecca of 2 for 1 cocktails on the daily, while also boasting a crowd-pleasing food menu complete with bottomless brunches. Better yet, that outdoor seating is perfect for when the sun comes out to play.

Bubbling concoctions are just the start of things with The Alchemist. Known for their creative mixes and priding themselves on a lil' bit of drinks drama, join them for something you can really put on the internet alongside slinky interiors and a diverse food menu that celebrates everything from Asian to British.

Cocktail bars in Portsmouth are topped off by Drift, a fantastic destination for all your favourite classics or a range of delish signatures - including a gorgeous Red Sparrow served in a bird-shaped glass. Couple your drinks with everything from slow-cooked pork shoulder buns to halloumi burgers and tempura prawns from their pop-up kitchen. Otherwise, head here for bottomless brunches and late-night partying complete with DJs come the weekend.
