The Pelham Arms - Portsmouth

Great staff, local lads want to fight everyone, what a shame as the band were fantastic tonight. I had to jump in a taxi whilst locals were swinging for me, because I have long hair. And I’m male, what a shame. Wend there to see south coast collective who were fantastic as always but I’ll not return because of the local lads. I was talking to a very beautiful young lady and they clearly didn’t like this and chased me and my family out of the pub. Being from essex I’ve seen these types of pubs before, this was my second altercation in this pub and only my third visit. Staff are amazing and ifs a fantastic bar that stretches through the whole venue. Shame it’s filled with little men who think they own it. Also to the beautiful girl I met tonight, I was chased out but these small lads....a lot of small lads. I’d love to see you again x Again Staff were fantastic

This was the perfect venue, the buffet was good. We found it the function room was the ideal size for our purposes

The Pelham Arms is a very large pub in the backstreets of Portsmouth. No real ale is available. Screens showing sport dominate the pub.

Great live music venue and pub. Always have a great nite out here. Good priced drinks. Friendly staff. Has an outside seating/smoking areas

This pub has recently been taken over by new manager and I find him rude and obnoxious, tables were sticky and wasn’t a great feel in the pub. I would like to say the young gentleman who has served us on a Wednesday night was very accomadating and did have a friendly conversation with us, I didn’t catch his name but he was tall with blonde hair, he deserves some recognition.
