    Quiet chat and a pint.............middle of Southampton ......... PMSL

    Where are you staying in Southampton and might be able to recommend a suitable place if you're after quiet.

    You know those cop shows that show all those "binge drinking youfffs throwing up and fighting" Southampton's a bit like that unfortunately.

    I don't mind going here - GOBLETS, I used to go in 25yrs ago, still called the same, it is just across from where you are staying - in Above bar street, car parking spaces on the street outside, and nearby, probably bike spaces too.

    There are reviews on google -

    It's in a basement - gets my vote

    1 x review below

    "Goblets is a great pub that has a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. It is mainly frequented by students and the skating community but you will find a large diversity of people, thats the great thing about it. Staff are friendly and helpful and they do the best pub grub in Southampton"

    Okay let's make it Goblets, Above Bar Street, at 8:30 - 9:00 ish. I'm hoping that - since it's out of university term-time - it will be quieter! And don't forget that I'm from Cardiff. Ask any of the TLD riders whether Cardiff has partying youfs who throw up in the street (the City Centre was packed like day time, but this was 3:30 am!) LOL

    Possibles are Francis_Geoff, Husky, Datsun Fan and Mrs Datsun Fan... oh, and me. I don't know Husky, but if I see someone with a crash helmet I'll assume it's you mate!

    How dare you!
    Southampton is full of nice gentle types - like me!
    Will try to get over - so long as the bike gets through MOT - used for work at the moment.

    Annette: thanks for your help. You didn't indicate you were coming along so I didn't include you in the list, but you'd be more than welcome of course!

    As for Goblets good student venue just don’t get to offended by some of the cliental since from memory it used top be one of the gay friendly bars in Southampton but that was a few years back.

    Personally if you want a traditional friendly pub I would recommend either Platform tavern or Duke Wellington. Both do good Ale and have Bike parking nearby.

    Cheers Grendel, thanks for the pointers. Since we've already agreed a venue and maybe not everyone will check back here today, we'll leave the meeting place as Goblets. However, if we are importuned we can move on to the Platform or Duke!
