The Old Vine's Bar/Terrace

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 International. 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 at least one guest ale on rotation. Real ale buffs might like to know that we support local brewers where possible, and that the quality of our beer is guaranteed by a Cask Marque accreditation). 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 terrace is available for al fresco food and drink, and should the British weather do its worst, there is a glazed and heated patio area for those who like to enjoy the fresh air while keeping warm and dry.
