“We couldn’t be more excited to be back in the finals,” said Harriet, owner of Southsea Spirit. “It’s an honour to be recognised alongside so many fantastic businesses in our community. We’re grateful for the support we’ve received, and we’re ready to take home the crown again—with your help!”
Southsea Spirit has become known for its relaxed atmosphere, community-driven ethos, and diverse drinks menu, which features cocktails, beer, wine, and their own handcrafted gin.
This recognition reflects the bar's commitment to delivering an exceptional experience to its guests. The Muddy Stilettos Awards celebrate the best independent lifestyle businesses across the UK, and being named a finalist is a huge achievement for Southsea Spirit.
The competition in the Best Bar category is fierce, but Southsea Spirit is not alone in representing the vibrant Southsea community. A number of other outstanding local businesses have also made it through to the finals, showcasing the region’s incredible independent spirit.

- Aprepa 2 Go
- Edith & Blanche
- Blossom Boutique
- Grounded in Southsea

Each of these businesses has shown exceptional dedication to their craft and has been recognised for their unique contributions to the local scene. Southsea Spirit is proud to stand alongside them in the fight for the Muddy Stilettos crown.
“We’re incredibly fortunate to be part of such a talented and passionate local business community,” added Charlotte, co-owner of Southsea Spirit. “It’s wonderful to see so many of our friends and neighbours in the finals, and we’ve been voting for each of them as well. Southsea truly is a special place, and we’re excited to represent it on this stage.”
