The Rockstone is a community pub with a lot of history in the heart of Bevois Valley, Southampton, at 63 Onslow Road. In partnership with Woosabi it serves a vibrant Asian-fusion menu alongside craft beers, and it keeps a busy grassroots events calendar: live-music gigs, open-mic nights and local DJ sets, plus standout themed weekenders like its Blues and Bourbon Festival and Pirate Rumfest with live music and themed food. It's family- and dog-friendly with two beer gardens. Running a BYO/house-PA setup that welcomes both original acts and covers in an intimate c. 80-capacity room, it's a genuine fixture of Southampton's independent music scene.
