The Lord John Russell is a lively Craft Union community pub on busy Albert Road in Southsea, well regarded for its real ales and craft beer. It runs a packed entertainment programme — live music, quizzes, bingo, cabaret and DJs late into the night on Fridays and Saturdays. The interior has a flagstoned floor with a small raised, boarded deck used as a DJ booth, an open fire for colder nights and an expansive yet cosy garden for alfresco drinks and food. A friendly, characterful spot for live music and covers in the heart of Southsea's nightlife strip.
