We were in Southamptin for the night. After exploring the Old town, we were looking for a place to…read moregrab a bite and a drink. We settled on Stein Garten. The venue is open with tall ceilings and a bit noisy when the crowd rolled in. The tables invoke a bier Garten vibe. Many of them are stabbed pick nick type. Others are table and chairs. The staff are friendly and accommodating. They were very helpful in making sure my wife's dietary restrictions fit their menu item. The Stein Garten offers a full bar, but is best known for its selection of German beers on tap. I tried 2 and was very happy. The menu has a selection of Hearty German fare. I had the ghoulish with mashed potatoes and some spiced sausages with a horseradish sauce. Both excellent. My wife, an aficionado of mashed potatoes, thought hers were wonderful. The salted warm pretzel was delicious, too. Next time, I'll try the schnitzel!

There are lots of black and white photos of boats and ships, all in Poole harbour, and some of them are very old. I had a half of Ringwood 49er - sorry ale lovers, I can't do it! I want my bacardi and coke! Found it just too filling and not the right taste for me - it's beer. More like German bier though. I'll certainly be back to try some of the food. I'll be back even if I don't try the food!

Can't say that being subjected to overhearing a conversation about his opinions on a noise level issue is what I went out for.

The seats are heated from below, and there are blankets too if you feel the breeze. A great location. Sadly the best view. ..out to sea. .. is tantalisingly only seen with a lean over the edge of the balcony. The sea view is reserved for the £550k apartments that have that side of the building.

The Goat & Tricycle however ticks just about every box associated with the world of 'Pub'. First of all the range and quality of the beer & cider sold in this place would keep Withnail and his nameless chum blissfully occupied for weeks and they always have decent guest ales up for grabs. The food is also very 'Pub' esque with the G&T burger proving more a worthy adversary for many a well fed gent. There are also an array of activities for patrons to partake in from a pool table to quiz & fruit machines, my particular favourite however is the giant connect 4 set (warningcan get very competitive after a few ales). All in all a great place and a must visit for pub lovers.
