The Pelham Arms is a fantastic Pompey pub, proud to serve our local community.
Built in 1887 in brewer’s Tudor style, the Pelham was originally opened as a hotel by the Pike Spicer Brewery.
We have a large, lawned beer garden and patio area with outside seating to the rear, along with table tennis and table football.
The rambling interior is these days divided into distinct areas, with a family area, function room available to hire, and snug area with pool table, big screens, live sport, darts and jukebox.
We serve a wide selection of lagers, craft beers, whiskeys, gins and rums and we’re family and dog friendly!
We’re open every afternoon and evening of the week, with a Weekly Quiz Night on Mondays from 7.30pm. You can also join us for darts on Tuesdays and our pool team plays on Wednesdays.
When it comes to weekend entertainment, we’re the place to be, with live DJs and karaoke every first Friday of the month. We host live music on Saturdays and you can catch live Sky Sports and BT Sport on Saturdays and Sundays.
We’re proud to serve our Portsmouth locals as well as those from further afar. The city itself is packed with great attractions for all the family.
The dockyard is home to the interactive National Museum of the Royal Navy, the wooden warship HMS Victory, where Nelson died in the Battle of Trafalgar, HMS Warrior 1860, and the Tudor ship Mary Rose is also conserved here, in a dockyard museum.

Great place for groups.... Good music, good atmosphere, best for games, best service. The best pub in North end.... No doubt about that..........
Popped in to purchase a Coke as I was waiting to meet a family member who lived nearby. The place was clean and welcoming. The Garden is definitely a showpiece and massive for a Portsmouth City Pub. Can imagine Sunday roast with the family was be a nice venue. I heard from others this is a nice pub. And I think they are right. Seems a nice place to visit both day and night.
Perfect for kids and dogs. Lush garden, great food, wicked weekend bands and the staff are flipping amazing
I’ve been to the Pelham a few times now. The place has a warm and pleasant vibe. A group of us went in for a couple of drinks after our neighbours funeral. Both ladies behind the bar were extremely polite and to be honest they were getting everyone served very quickly. I will definitely be popping inside more often. Thank you to the Pelham for proving such an amazing caring and loving atmosphere. Sending love and gratitude to the Entire Pelham🍻🍺🤝💙
The Pelham is a smart looking Victorian pub and is large very large, big garden and quite caverness inside. I like it but no ale on offer being offered only Tetley which was off and Shipyard which is too hoppy for my taste. So I ended up on 1664 hence 3 stars. I understand they got to sell it and ale has a shelf life, the plus side friendly barman clean tidy and plenty of seating but lacks character. Pool table was up and running. Get at least one real ale in please and you may find customers will buy it.
