    A superb tour of a local micro brewery and a great place to meet friends. The food is superb and caters for vegetarians too. Try it out.

    Best pub in town. Great craft ale pub, huge selection to pick from, lovely quirky decor with what looks like old first class rail carriage seats in the dining area themed gents using barrels for the sinks and urinals, great ambience, friendly staff, live music when we were there on a Thursday. Very dog friend, 4 dogs counted by me, an a bowl of free doggy treats on the bar to hand out. Quite rightly called the best in toen

    This place is truly superb. I have been trying to find a good burger place in the UL and it had been mission impossible until we found this one. The menu is limited, which is an indication of focus and that is always good. Plus ciders and beers are very good too

    SO COLD!!!! Air con seems to be set at the correct temp for staff who are busy working, not customers who are just sitting. So cold that I cannot wait to finish my food and leave... And I love this place and would have stayed for a few more beers. Amazing place, everything else is sooo spot on, so please sort this. Not just me, as I arrived the family coming out we're complaining about how cold it was too. 5 stars if it weren't a fridge!

    I've been going here for a year at least on a regular basis. The food is incredible, but what I really love is the staff! They are so friendly and accommodating. Special shout out to the new lady and the curly haired gentleman who always serve with a smile and are so great.

    Had a lunchtime family meal today, we were well looked after by our host Seb. Very friendly staff and a laid back atmosphere. Great food options for both young and older. Re-visit is definitely on the cards even if just for their mega milkshakes and whisky cider.

  • 5/5 Kevin E. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent, tasty food and really enjoyed the different beers available. I was happy to find they serve in 1/3, 1/2, 2/3 and pint sizes so I was able to sample many more this way. I especially enjoyed the chocolate stout and their pier 37 fries which include popcorn shrimp and Cajun king prawns My wife had the Korean fried chicken burger and it was perfect!

    Lovely food and ambience, come hear once a week for singing practice though I feel my experience with the service has soured very quickly given a new staff face at the bar I have seen. Despite all other staff members being excellent, he overarches them completely with his ego and jobs-worthiness. My friends and I came as a three one evening (one of them I buying alcohol) and the other ACCIDENTALLY sipping one of them ONCE AND ONLY ONCE (the drinks looked pretty similar) having no ID and NONE of us immediately were served anymore that evening, NOT EVEN SOFT DRINKS! At least one of the other more sensible staff members gave her a refund. And yet the guy claimed they would be shut down by licensers, well his attitude could have led to that already and there were no licensers there!! Complete abuse of power leading to a painful reduction in rating, which I will hear no more justification about. Thank you regardless to everyone else who gave us wonderful and reasonable hospitality.

    Brilliant atmosphere, friendly and accommodating staff. Food mainly various exotic flavour burger and chip combos and good desserts. Very popular.

  • 5/5 Stuart T. 9 months ago on Google
    Very rare to give a 5* review but I found nothing I didn't like about Steam Town. A fine selection of beers some brewed on site and a great American styled menu worthy of "Denny's".. A 2 minute walk from the train station puts Steam Town on the list for many visits. Top tip... Order a flight of beers or 2 and choose your favourite.

  • 5/5 Harry T. 5 months ago on Google
    Excellent craft beer pub and brewery in Eastleigh. It's convenient to get to, just a short walk from the station. Just head over the rail bridge as you walk out and it's about five minutes stroll. Well worth it too- it's a lovely, well designed bar and brewery/restaurant. You can just roll in and get a beer in the main bar or get seating in the restaurant part. It's clean, well kept and has some fun design features. The beer is excellent- had a pils which was as described and good value. They rotate different ones and have the latest selection on a blackboard by the bar for you to peruse. The staff are friendly, efficient and do a good job. Place is well run obviously. Can't really say anything bad about it, it's well worth a trip. Loved the train seats in the restaurant part too.

    Wonderful service, facility, food thanks for a memorable afternoon, we were nine people, wonderful service again.

  • 5/5 Ben M. 10 months ago on Google
    Huge range of drinks and amazing friendly service, I asked for a drink I thought I'd like (should've asked for a taste first!) but didn't like it, they suggested I put lemonade in it and completely changed the drink, didn't ask for anything else Really good service, couldn't have asked for anything else!

  • 5/5 Dai E. 1 year ago on Google
    So where do we start? The beers are amazing, with a mixture of house (brewed onsite) and guest beers/ciders. The food is impressive, I recommend the K.F.C and the Smoked Stack. The venue is small but not cramped and the prices are more than reasonable for the quality. I was travelling with work and booked my hotel specifically so I could come and try this place and it did not disappoint. Visited two evenings and the venue was busy both times so it may be wise to book a table if there's a few of you. My advice....come and check this place out!!!

    Great Beer and atmosphere. The Baltic Porter was excellent and the Whiskey Cider likewise. We really came to see an old mate but it helps this bar is at the end of his road!

  • 5/5 Hannah B. 9 months ago on Google
    Went here for a sunday lunch catch up with a friend. Fantastic food and the atmosphere was so welcoming (even had live music downstairs when we were leaving). Served by Radar and Seb (I hope I got that right guys!) who were both delightful. 100% will come back here again

    Steam Town is the best local burger place near me, probably the best burgers in Eastleigh and Southampton. The burgers are generous and come in different styles, the dirty fries are also a must have. Other than the food, Steam Town is actual working brewery, which means you can view the facility when at the bar/restaurant. Among other drinks, they provide their own IPA, Lager and Ale on tap or you can purchase by the can. There are regular live music acts which is a must see, as there isn’t a stage – you are quite literally eating and drinking with the bands as they play between tables.

    Had a work lunch here and food was fantastic! Smoke stack burger was very tasty and portions are generous! Chips and dirty fries are excellent! Had the Hampshire Cider and that was very good! Staff were extremely helpful and friendly to our large party and very accomidating will definitely be back!

  • 4/5 jed L. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent selection of drinks, community, and strong events calendar even in these modern times. Its unfortunately on a main road which means the views and the atmosphere can be dominated by diesel at rush hour, and the prices are well above the average boozer. You're unlikely to have a better night out in Eastleigh though, so worth the expenditure. Menu is severely restricted, but they do it well.

  • 5/5 Matt W. 1 year ago on Google
    The steam punk theme really works here, the decor is thoughtfully done which really adds to the feel of the place. Their menu is simple but really good - the burgers are tasty and you will struggle to find a more generous portion of dirty fries. Well worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Cherie W. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a lovely burger 🍔 . Staff were very friendly and we were able to taste an ale before ordering. First class service . Would recommend we had a great evening.

  • 4/5 J A. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice selection of beers and ciders - the ''Scottish Fruits of the Forest' was delicious, as was the Plum cider. Food was excellent too and so promptly served and the Sweet potato chips made a nice change from the usual. My only criticism is that the (live) music was very loud and didn't need to be amplified. I couldn't hear a word my partner was saying...

  • 5/5 Jackson S. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice beers brewed there. Great selection of guest taps as well. Food was sublime! A hidden gem in Hampshire.

  • 5/5 Clive B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great beer and menu. Loved the KFC! (Korean Fried Chicken) 2nd visit clearly very popular pub even on a Wednesday afternoon. Certainly revisiting in the future!

  • 5/5 Mark R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great selection of really good beers, both made on-site in their own microbrewery plus guest beers too. I’ve only visited the Steam Town Brewery for drinks in the past, whilst walking along the nearby Itchen Way from Soton to Winchester, but looking forward to dining there next weekend when we have a group booking for x2 families. Edited 18/07/22: group of us are here the previous weekend and thought the burgers were excellent. Will definitely come back again just for the burgers alone.
