About The Fifth Hants Volunteer Arms
The Fifth Hants Volunteer Arms is a grassroots music venue in Southsea, Southsea with a standing capacity of approximately 80. PA system and vocal mics are provided; bring your own instruments and amps.
The Fifth Hants Volunteer Arms is a traditional two-bar street-corner local on Albert Road (74, PO5 2SL) in Southsea, Portsmouth — at the junction with Napier Road, and the founding home of the local CAMRA branch. Known for its cask ales, pub food, jukebox and darts, both bars have bare wooden floorboards and the public bar now hosts regular live music, making the pub a social hub of the Albert Road community. It books bands regularly and welcomes both original acts and covers, with a PA in place for performers.
