A-Z of Portsmouth
Albert
Road
-
A strip of bars and pubs best suited for a night
out with friends, especially those from the ages 18-30. This is important in my
“A-Z of places to be” for Portsmouth as it is a popular destination for those
seeking a good night out.
-
Love Albert Road Day is dedicated to the road,
and more than 80,000 people turned up in 2009.
Bowlplex
-
I chose Bowlplex because it provided an
alternative to a night out to a club or bar and can provide entertainment for
all ages.
-
Features an arcade and over 18s area.
The Cellars
-
Due to the part music and social drinking has in
a young person’s social life I thought the Cellars was an ideal venue to add to
my graphic, due to it also being a popular spot on an average night out in
Portsmouth as well as being one of the more well known pubs.
-
Local bands play almost every night.
Dominoes
-
Generally due to a lack of venues to add I
thought the next best thing was to add Dominoes Pizza as takeaways are popular
after a night out or in. With pizza being a more popular option for the younger
audience I thought this was the best choice.
Eastney
Swimming Pool
-
As an alternative to drinking or partying,
Eastney Swimming Pool can provide a place to go on the weekend to have fun with
friends that want to see everything Portsmouth has to offer, besides clubs and
pubs.
Fratton Park
-
As a Portsmouth landmark, I felt Fratton Park
was something younger people would want to see, as it was the home of the
city’s football team. This also provided an alternative for those who are
interested in sports.

-
Hilsea
Lido

Portsmouth

Liquid
& Envy
- This nightclub is populated every weekend by young people
and makes for a hotspot for nightlife in Portsmouth, which is something my
target audience will want to know.
Mountbatten
Leisure Centre
-
Nandos
-
This restaurant is very popular and is
frequented by the younger crowd, which is the main reason why this is on my
list of places to go.
-
Celebrities such as Ed Sheeran have been given a
Nando’s ‘high-five’ card for promoting their business, entitling them to
unlimited free food for up to five people any time they visit the restaurant
for a year.
Odeon
Cinema
-
The
Pyramids Centre
-
Providing both an indoor swimming centre as well
as a venue for concerts and live music, the Pyramids provide plenty of
entertainment for the public, which is why it is going on the A-Z list.
-
Also has a spa, gym, children’s area, and live
music venue.
(Gunwharf) Quays
-
- This is a popular shopping destination in
Portsmouth and would no doubt be of interest to my target audience due to the
vast number of clothing shops, restaurants, clubs and other venues available at
this area.
-
Gunwharf Quays is home to the Spinakker Tower.

Southsea

I’ve included this venue in my A-Z list as live
music is massively interesting to the majority of my target audience and so
would naturally fit into the theme my list has.

Has hosted gigs for bands such as Klaxons,
Kasabian, and Bowling For Soup
