Gun Wharf key is good. Typical chain bars and restaurants but a vast improvement on the place compared to 20 years ago!!!

Gun Wharf Quays by the harbour, but avoid the Old Customs House.

That's Cascades, best avoided! Gun Wharf Quay is the place to go!

I haven't been there for about few years but you'll find plenty in Gunwharf, Old Portsmouth (Still & West pub if it's nice weather) and Southsea. I'd avoid central Portsmouth (near the train station).

Gunwharf Quays is WAY better for shopping than anything Brighton's generic Churchill Square has to offer. The adidas store is to die for

Cascades is the 90s equivalent. He's probably thinking of the Tricorn Centre, which was a tragic combination of concrete, horrendous shops and the smell of piss.

Gunwharf is great for shopping and drinking. There are also some great establishments in Southsea

Gunwharf is fine for generic high Street chains, Southsea is more interesting, and has a burgeoning micro pub scene

We had a good day at Gunwharf shopping, eating, drinking and a flutter in the Casino

Gunwharf like a larger Brighton Marina. Quite soulless.

Get down Albert Road

Gun Wharf is a great start off point.

Look at the Isle of Wight.
Then turn around.
Walk straight on.
Leave Gun Wharf and immediately turn left.
Left again.
Left again.

From there it should be pretty simple to get on a train and be back in Sussex, in no time.

Southsea Castle has a microbrewery you can visit to try their ales.

Free entry to the castle too.

I still think Old Portsmouth is more interesting than Gunwharf, unless you are shopping. The most well known pub in Old Portsmouth is the Still and West but I've always liked the Bridge Tavern.
