Dating from 1936, the Admiral Drake now stands isolated - dwarfed by the Rudmore flyover. The U-shaped bar room is bare boarded and furnished with a mix of traditional tables and chairs as well as high tables and bar stools. There is a performance area for live bands to the right as you enter. A pool table and jukebox can be found here - and there is a dart board at the rear of the pub. Various sporting events are shown on television. In winter a real log fire is a welcome sight opposite the bar counter throughout the colder months. The pub is a popular destination for motorcycle enthusiasts and live music fans. Outside events are held during the summer in the pub's large car park. A patio area is provided year-round. Only 2 minutes from the International ferryport.

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