What Lola W doesn't like about The Jolly Sailor:

The pub may be a bit old and worn down, but it has a lovely seaside location and the staff are very friendly.

Best local pub hangout in Portsmouth! Contemporary in design, not your traditional style English pub, with all the typical English fare with a few twists!...
