Browns, Northam




A tastefully refurbished corner location pub in the Northam / St Mary's area of Southampton. The area is mostly industrial units and an estate of housing association flats mostly occupied by immigrants, so is not a promising location for a pub - but it does have the nearby football stadium, and it offers food lunchtimes (and evenings Thurs to Sat), so does have potential.

Two cask ales on my visit, One wasn't fresh, but was replaced instantly when pointed out.  There is a good vibe inside with exposed brickwork, bare floorboards, and a clean funky look. Live music and comedy on certain nights, this promises to be a lively pub in an area short of pubs, let alone decent ones.

This place deserves to do well, and will no doubt be packed on match days. I like the place.

Popped in as we were driving past and Chrissie saw a sign for Tap It, which we thought indicated that the pub were serving Tap It beers.  Nope. No cask on - I was offered some dull bottles, which we declined. Place seemed a bit run down and rough since my previous visit. We decided not to stay....
