Quick info
About Heartbreakers
Heartbreakers is a live music bar in Southampton, with the bar downstairs and the gig space upstairs. Cocktails are made fresh in front of guests from real ingredients rather than pre-batched mixes, with an Aperol Spritz, a Honeycomb Espresso Martini, and a Caipirinha among the six drinks on the list. Stella Artois and Guinness on draught round out the bar, alongside matcha and iced tea for non-drinkers. No food is served. The venue runs on a walk-in basis and opens daily, with a DJ night on Fridays and live acts playing the room upstairs on other nights. It's a small space for gigs, and the downstairs bar can get busy, though tables are usually still to be found. The toilets are reached via a set of stairs.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers come mainly for the live music in the small upstairs venue, describing intimate gigs, a festival day with six bands playing back to back, and a scuzzy, indie, rock n roll feel, with one praising the sound system. Friendly bar staff come up repeatedly, and downstairs the Heartbreakers pale ale and a decent pint of Guinness get specific mentions. Some also point to a Saturday night club and a Friday DJ set that one reviewer calls an eclectic mix. The complaints are practical. One reviewer says the volume could be turned down a notch, another says the view was often blocked during a set, and the bar selection is called limited. The toilets draw remarks too, described as not the best, with the stairs up to the loo called tricky when tipsy. One reviewer notes there is no food. Cocktails earn warm words, and one reviewer describes them being made in front of the customer from real ingredients with no pre-fabricated drinks.

“I absolutely love it here, it's a great place to go alone or with friends, the drinks are great and not to expensive, only flaw is the loo is up some stairs that are a bit tricky if your tipsy 🤪”
- Anthony Underwood
“Great bar, wish I'd known about this hidden gem years ago. The staff are friendly, they make cocktails in front of you with no Pre-fabricated drinks, all real ingredients. Sensibly priced, great atmosphere and live music upstairs. What's not to like? Well done team.”
- Steve Smallwood
“Heartbreakers pale ale is a good pint. The downstairs bar is ok and the upstairs music venue suitably scuzzy. Will return. Returned to see Mr B great gig and enhanced further by meeting a frend. Thesr sorts of venues should be treasured.”
