Four Totton and Eling pubs have been named among the finalists in the Daily Echo's Pub of the Year 2024.
The list also features the city centre pub which pays homage to the world's most famous liner and a popular Botley tap room.
The pubs are:
The Peg and Parrot, Rumbridge Street, Totton - This town centre boozer is at the heart of the action with last weekend's Totton Carnival packing it out. Punters are also loving all the Euros action on the big screens inside and outside.
The Two Brothers, Townhill Way, West End - Things have been looking up at this community pub since a six-figure refurbishment two years ago gave it the wow factor.
Cracklerock Tap Room, High Street, Botley - It's just a short hop from brewery to pump for loyal locals here, with the tap room just across the road from the brewery of the same name.
River Inn, Fair Oak Road, Eastleigh - Toby Carvery customers can enjoy eat as much as you like carvery with a lovely riverside view.
The Keys, Commercial Road, Totton - This Grade II listed pub, which occupies a prominent town centre site, is the heart and soul of the community.
The Wagon Works, Southampton Road, Eastleigh - The historic railway pub is part of the JD Wetherspoon chain with bargains for drinkers and diners.
The Cleveland Bay, Pilgrims Close, Chandlers Ford - It's a real village pub with close links to the neighbouring school and nearby church and a programme of annual events, often helping charities.
The Titanic, Simnel Street, Southampton - It's the traditional pub with great Guinness, live music and a history closely tied to the city's maritime heritage.
The Hampshire Bowman, Dundridge Lane, Bishops Waltham - It's the Hampshire pub set in ten acres - with a growing family at the helm, but not for long. The traditional country freehouse is up for sale with the popular landlords moving on.
The Salmon Leap, Testwood Lane, Totton - This much-loved local boasts a takeaway crumble shack in its grounds, sell out Sunday roasts and one of Hampshire's longest-serving landlords.
The Anchor Inn, Eling Lane, Totton - The Anchor Inn boasts a superb waterfront spot at Eling Quay, next to the historic tide mill.
You have nominated pubs in and around Southampton in your thousands.
The winner will be announced at the end of June.
