Quick info
About Medbar Southampton
Medbar Southampton is a cocktail bar on Oxford Street in Southampton that opens into a nightclub once the evening gets going, with a brunch restaurant concept running through the daytime. The space sits in the city's main dining and drinking strip, a short walk from the surrounding shops and the waterfront. Brunch is a draw, served bottomless on set days, and the drinks list moves from classics to the bar's own mixes. By night the format shifts, with a disco club mood taking over and DJs carrying the room into the small hours. The bar is laid out for groups, with booth-style seating and a long bar along one wall, and the team runs the floor across the day's changing programmes. It works as a single venue that moves from brunch plates to late-night cocktails under one roof.

Customer Review Summary
The single most consistent draw reviewers mention is the bottomless brunch, with several calling it one of the best in Southampton and praising the quick service. Celebrations also surface repeatedly, as the venue is described as a go-to spot for birthdays and proposals, and reviewers repeatedly single out the atmosphere and entertainment as a major reason for visiting. Close behind, the cocktails and bar experience draw positive mention, with reviewers describing the team behind the bar in strong terms. On the food side, one reviewer notes that the brunch food itself was not that great, a recurring caveat worth keeping in mind. Several suggest booking the venue for group occasions, and the lively entertainment, including live performances, rounds out what most reviewers describe as a fun, high-energy setting.
