Staggeringly Good Brewery is a dinosaur-themed craft brewery and taproom at Unit 10, St Georges Industrial Estate on Rodney Road in Southsea, Portsmouth. The spacious warehouse taproom pairs the brewery's beers with retro arcade games, plenty of outdoor space, and a busy events calendar — festivals, DJ sets, string-quartet nights and live music, with an upstairs bar that hosts live gigs and even a roller disco. The adjacent House of Rapture space has staged live music and launch parties too. A relaxed, characterful grassroots room in Portsmouth welcoming originals and covers across mixed genres.

Expect a relaxed mix of regulars and first-time local artists playing to a beer-loving crowd under the brewery's 'beer for people who love to ride dinosaurs' banner. Exact sign-up time and slot length aren't published online, so it's worth checking their Facebook page or asking at the bar before you head down.
