IT HAS been a long few months.

But not the day has finally arrived. The day when we can finally order a fresh, cold pint!

And although the weather looks a bit bleak today, there are scores of pubs set to welcome customers for outside seating from today.

As per the government's roadmap to reopening, pubs can now serve customers that are seated outside with both drink and food.

However, pubs that only have indoor seating, or no outdoor access to their gardens, won't be able to reopen until May 17.

So, in no particular order, these are the pubs that are opening across Southampton today:

  • The Drummond Arms
  • Brewdog
  • The Social
  • The Hinkler
  • Brewhouse and Kitchen
  • The Bitterne
  • The Dolphin
  • The South Western Arms
  • The Guide Dog
  • The Rockstone
  • The Cricketers Arms, Woolston
  • The Cricketers Arms, Bedford Place
  • The Black Phoenix
