The Waggoner's Arms, Portswood (Closed)

The Waggoner's Arms is just round the corner from the Drummond. I thought this had closed down because it looks so run down outside, never has the door open, and several other nearby pubs have closed, but I was wrong. It's old and worn, but still open for business. [Not any more!]

The ambiance

It is warmer than the Drummond, has better banter, and the Ringwood is in better condition, but there is no food and no women. This is a proper old man's pub. All in all I enjoyed it. I am an old man after all, and the place is warm and friendly, and we had a bit of a chat. There is a back beer garden with play equipment for children.

It's been a pub since at least 1871. It is owned by Admiral Taverns, who also own The Angel and the Juniper Berry.
