The Wine Vaults in Southsea, owned by Fuller’s, has re-opened as The Vaults after a major refurbishment. The venue boasts four bars.

The Vaults’ warren-like layout has plenty of bookable spaces. There are four bars across three floors, comprising three main bars plus one in an upstairs function room.

Across the four bars, there’s a wide selection of drinks, including 15 craft beer lines, pouring products from local and international brewers. The Vaults has eight cask ale handpulls, too.

Pub classics and bar snacks are complemented by The Vaults’ pizza menu. The pub’s pizza oven is in centre stage on the first floor, where diners can enjoy table service while they watch their food being prepared in an open kitchen. There are plenty of vegetarian and plant-based options.

“I am really excited about re-opening The Vaults,” said general manager James Wilson. “Where we’re located — Southsea’s Albert Road — attracts an eclectic mix of people and I’m confident that we’re able to suit all needs. We will be serving a wide range of cocktails, from your more traditional mixes to increasingly adventurous tipples.

“Plus our Beer Vaults has a great mix of brews, to appeal to all beer drinkers. We’re looking forward to welcoming customers old and new, including theatre attendees, before or after they’ve enjoyed a show at the King’s Theatre across the road. And live music will take place every Thursday night.

“We have plenty of bookable spaces, so we can cater for any function. I’m excited to also be launching our pizza party buffet — perfect for larger groups looking for something a bit different.”
