Let’s Party!Night time in Southampton

PubsAs well as the high street chains, Southampton has some great individual pubs where you can sup on a beer or enjoy a glass of wine. Soak up some history into the bargain at the historic Duke of Wellington pub in Bugle Street or step onto the High Street and check out the Red Lion pub which dates back to 1148.

Close by at Town Quay is the Platform Tavern where they brew their own beer as well as other well known beers and they are famous for their Desperate Dan style pies.

Did You Know?The Duke of Wellington pub was originally built upon Norman vaults and cellars in 1220 and the building became a pub in 1494.

Music in the CityA vibrant network of pubs,clubs, theatres and studio venues mean live music can be enjoyed at venues throughout the city.

Turner Sims Concert Hall at the University of Southampton has a reputation for hosting a varied programme including classical, world music and jazz. Internationally renowned performers such as Jamie Cullum and Courtney Pine are just some of the big names that have graced the stage.

O2 Guildhall is a multi-purpose venue staging major rock, contemporary and classical music events by national touring acts. The Joiners in St Marys has seen performances from many of the biggest names on the rock, indie, punk and metal scenes. Famously Oasis and Coldplay gigged there and it is fondly viewed by bands as an important venue for emerging talent.
