Would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

I used to find myself soul searching about gay bars. I'm not gay, should I go in? I am spoiling the…read morefun? Am I intruding? Am I welcome? Well, with age comes experience, and experience has taught me that gay bars are probably the least judgemental and most accepting kind of drinking venue you could ever find. Nobody cares about your sexual orientation, the clothes you are wearing or anything else really. As long as your attitude is accepting you will fit in. The Edge is no different in this respect, but it's quite different in other respects. The space is divided up into 4 (I'm pretty sure it was 4, but I was a little bit drunk) different areas, including an extensive outside area for the nicotine addicts. BBQ addicts are also catered for here, or they were on my visit. Cue obligatory jokes about wanting meat/sausage as you wait for your hotdog. Indoors it's deceptively big, there are loads of bars so you won't be waiting forever to get a drink and the coolest thing of all (for me) was the retro style passport photo booth dumped incongruously by one of the bars which actually takes 4 different photos just how old folk like me remember them doing. I don't remember how much it cost but it was worth it purely for the nostalgia. There are certain stereotypes which The Edge definitely conforms to, but if you are down with "It's raining men" and "YMCA" being on the playlist then this shouldn't concern you.

I experienced extreme harassment from the door staff at this venue. I ordered my friend an uber…read morehome since he was sick, the door staff kept insulting me, repeatedly saying he would "die of hypothermia" because I didn't take him fully home, despite waiting until his transport arrives as i had to get home myself. Their tone was aggressive, intimidating, and completely unprofessional. They then banned me from the club for no valid reason. As a young female I felt intimidated and I had to walk away and wait for my transport somewhere else as the insults wouldn't stop and they kept calling me a horrible friend, a disgusting person etc... It was around 3am and i should've felt safe waiting next to the venue however it was the exact opposite. The incel security team seems to be on a power trip, making excuses to harass women instead of acting professionally, not to mention my friend got home okay and he is disgusted with how they treated me.

I guess this is the norm in southampton, but only orange have i been asked why im on my own! Like all other places in southampton, its a small venue, mainly funk music which is great if your into just relaxing. I just dont bother with this place or any other place in southampton cant wait when my course finishes in june so i can move back to london where there are more than one cool trendy bars to go to with a more mature crowd.

Its also not particularly cheap unless you go on nights with deals on, but that comes with the territory in my opinion, nice for those special nights out and a good warm up bar for Junk on London Road.

I started with a half pint of Folly Road lager (recommended by the server), which was refreshing, light, and super easy to sip. Then came the fish & chips, and honestly it was one of the best I've had anywhere. The portions were wildly generous, and the fish was perfectly golden-fried with crispness that creates a loud crunch as you bite into it. The plump fish was tender, flaky and moist. The dish comes with mushy peas too. I appreciated that they set you up with salt, pepper, and malt vinegar so you can season everything to your taste, and you can request tartar sauce that's light, creamy, and great for dipping. Service was friendly and efficient, making the whole visit feel warm and effortless.

The inside area is larger than you think, with a dance floor downstairs. There's also a huge outside area. It was very busy on the Saturday night we were there and I didn't find the atmosphere particularly friendly. I can say all that though and still give it 3 stars because I can see it isn't for me (too old/not alternative enough) but I've given it 2 stars because of the 'cocktails'. They make a big thing of doing 'fellowship' cocktails in pint glasses. They basically are made of fluorescent coloured sugars and low percentage cheap alcohol. They made me feel more sleepy and grumpy than anything- not exactly how you want to feel before you go out. They would be better getting a variety of decent cider/ales on tap which they could also charge £5 for but would actually taste like something. But if you're a student you'll love it, so this is just proof that I'm now incredibly old.

Kitchen doesn't open until 5:30P, so we just enjoyed beer until then. When we were able to order we split the steak & ale pie. Really, really good and huge portion.
