45 Bedford Place, Southampton, SO15 2DG (View on Google Map)

Rebranded in January 2024, Bottle & Stoat is a relaxed and welcoming craft and cask ale bar on Bedford Place that has quickly built a strong local following. The site was once home to the well-regarded Cloud Wine Shop, and some of the original staff remain part of the team — adding a welcome sense of continuity and experience behind the bar.

This is the second Southampton venture from the proprietors of Olaf's Tun in Woolston, and it follows a similar ethos: quality beer, knowledgeable staff and a comfortable, conversation-friendly setting. Six handpumps line the front bar, complemented by twelve keg lines behind, offering a thoughtful mix of traditional cask ales alongside modern craft styles. The range rotates regularly, and the team are always happy to guide you through what’s pouring.

Despite its relatively compact footprint, the space feels cosy rather than cramped. Seating includes four-seater tables, a snug area, banquet seating along one wall, plus a Chesterfield sofa and armchairs — making it as suited to a quiet midweek pint as a lively weekend catch-up. The venue is dog-friendly and service is at the bar.

There is no kitchen, though bar snacks are available. Customers are encouraged to order food in, with arrangements often available from local favourites such as Popsi's Pizza and 7Bone Burger Co..

Closing times shown are for last orders; doors close 30 minutes later.
