Beers & Bottles, Portswood (Closed)




Beers & Bottles is a high street off-licence in Portswood that focuses on beer. There is a good selection of beers from the UK and Europe, plus some from America, and other parts of the world. I visited here shortly after moving to Southampton, and quite liked the place as there is a decent selection, good prices, and it is convenient. My review for RateBeer:

Beer and wine shop in the student area of Southampton: Portswood. Has the usual Belgians, and the usual UK bottles, plus some American stuff, including beers from Hawaii, along with a decent selection of local beers. Not a range that will excite most RateBeer users, but handy if you’re in the area, and way better than most High Street beer shops and supermarkets. If you want a larger selection, including beers from some of the real cutting edge breweries in the UK and on the continent, then Bitter Virtue is going to be your choice. But when doing the weekly shopping in the nearby Sainsbury’s I can see myself popping in here somewhat more frequently than Bitter Virtue purely because it’s convenient, and will have some beers I'm likely to buy.

I just visited in Feb, 2018, and found a lot of empty shelves, which looked worrying. But the man behind the counter said the owner was out picking up some new bottles, and the shelves would be full again soon. I hope so.

Came here (March 2020) to buy some beers, and the place is closed and gone. It's now a noodle shop. Shame.
