Whether it’s top-notch sports screenings, quiz nights, or DJs keeping the party going, there’s always something happening. At most of our pubs, you’ll find proper pub grub – with big, juicy burgers and classic fish and chips being firm favourites. And when it comes to pouring a cracking pint, we’ve got it nailed. We serve up real value, a great atmosphere, and a pub experience that’s worth every penny. The Liquorist offers high energy and excitement into Portsmouth's nightlife scene, giving guests a fabulous selection of glamorous cocktails, premium spirits, wines, and craft beers.

In the summer sun, the outdoor seating area is the largest in Portsmouth's Quays. With a 10-foot projector and HD TV's, we have a great spot for our guests to watch sporting events and unwind with friends.
