Sorry to say that the dear old Rudmore Cellars are being demolished as I type.
No immediate alternative but will be looking into venues

Ah dear! As an old Pompey boy from Stamshaw I remember playing darts there regularly in the league. Tempus fugit. At least the Tricorn was demolished too! What's the pub's name opposite the roundabout outside?

it went down a few weeks back, and was really quickly done. I needed a double take at first.

Ah, the Beresford. Used to be Brickwoods Ales I seem to recall? Rubbish beer anyway! I used to use the Stamshaw - nearest to the house!

It was even in the 60s! I remember one Friday when the dockyard workers, paid fortnightly, arrived and a game of poker started. It ended up with two left, the pub clientele divided in two each backing one of the players. There was a fortune in the pot. Eventually, all money extinguished, they turned the cards over. One had a royal flush, the other four kings. Then the fight started...................
I lived in Meyrick Road in those days, down near where the M275 is nowadays and at spring tides we had water under the floorboards. Ah, the happy days of the Triumph Bonneville and three pints of brown and mild for five bob!

Incidentally, I know it is 45 years back but if memory serves the tarmac area as you arrive at the ferry terminal was once a cemetery!

Isn't there a bar in the terminal building?

Well yes but you can only get to it once you are though the check in. So others can't join in, previously some people not traveling till later in the Week would pop along to have a drink with those departing.

The air ballon is now flats, 5 small flats went for about £100k each.
the ship and castle is still there ( couldnt remember the name )
The soverign is now the meeting pub. Its opposite the ferry port off the rudmore roundabout, and is part of a travel inn type place. Most of the bikeers meet there for some easy food and drink before leaving as there is ample parking outside.
