Former Emporium bar to open as new pub The Brass Monkey makes its exciting debut in Southsea
Southsea locals are expected to go ape as a brand new pub throws its doors open following weeks of anticipation.
Over the summer, The Emporium Bar, which was known for its live music events, quietly shut up shop, with many wondering what would take its place.
Paper covered the windows during the closure, but over the last few weeks work has been getting underway at the site to transform it into Southsea’s latest pub - The Brass Monkey.
The new Elm Grove pub has taken to social media to document its major renovation project, with workers gutting the place to make way for a new bar, new flooring and a completely different vibe.
One of the posts says: “After a lot of hard work from our lovely building team, the new bar is finally coming together.
Equipped with a pool table and darts, The Brass Monkey has confirmed it will be officially opening its doors on Friday, November 28 for a weekend of fun to celebrate the launch.
