Brewery taproom.

Opened to the public in December 2017, Urban Island's brewery tap room is located a short distance from Hilsea station. Surprisingly spacious, the room is divided into two drinking areas, with furniture consisting of a mixture of trestle table and benches and cask stools. Visitors are surrounded by an array of gleaming, stainless steel Brewing vessels. The bar counter can be found towards the rear, from where up to 9 cask and membrane keg beers are offered. Those available are detailed on a board at the servery. Outdoor drinking is available in the warmer seasons.

Locally produced real cider is available.

The Brewery is also reachable via a footpath leading from the Hilsea Lines battlements.

Takeouts of all cask & keg beers currently on tap are available.

Opening hours may vary. Check website or Facebook page for changes.

Information for this venue is provided by the Portsmouth & South East Hampshire Branch of CAMRA
