The Old Vine's Bar/Terrace

November 2011: the new conservatory and courtyard area is now open - and it's still 100% smoke-free. Come and have a look around!

Our cosy bar retains all the charming period features of an 18th-century building, with the added benefit of contemporary style courtesy of Design House. Relax over a glass of fine wine or a refreshing pint of real ale (Ringwood Best and Timothy Taylor Landlord are always available, and we always have two guest ales on rotation). Real ale buffs might like to know that the quality of our beer is guaranteed by a Cask Marque accreditation, that we are featured in the Good Beer Guide for 2010, 2011 and 2012, and that we are members of Camra's LocAle scheme, which recognises our support of local brewers. Feeling peckish? How about some mixed nuts, olives, crisps, or maybe something from the bar menu?

We were the first pub in Winchester to phase out smoking (in March 2005), and now we're delighted to offer our non-smoking customers an outdoor space that's 100% smoke-free - in summer, our pretty, flower-filled patio is available for al fresco food and drink, and should the British weather do its worst, there is a bright and airy conservatory area.
