Welcome

The A Bar is a family-run bistro & bar, serving excellent food and drink in a casual & relaxed environment. Situated in the heart of Old Portsmouth opposite the local seafood market, we are a neighbourhood favourite, popular with locals and newcomers alike. Customers can enjoy views of the Spinnaker Tower with Southsea common just a short walk away.

On Tap

On tap, we offer a fantastic selection of local IPAs and world-class lagers, alongside our resident ale, Langham’s Session Bitter. This deep golden beer has tropical fruit, pineapple, and citrus notes on the nose, balanced by a smooth maltiness. It finishes with a dry, bitter edge and a delicate floral hop aroma, making it the perfect choice for a relaxed evening.

We take pride in showcasing high-quality, locally brewed beers, ensuring there’s always something great to enjoy.
