Property details
Located on Simnel Street in the heart of historic Southampton, the Titanic sits within the city’s old walls, just steps from the bustling high street. A pub has stood on this site since the 1880s, with the building itself rebuilt during Victorian times. In 2012, it was renamed in tribute to the passengers and crew of the RMS Titanic, which departed on its ill-fated maiden voyage just yards away, 100 years earlier. Perfectly positioned for both locals and visitors, the pub is directly opposite West Quay Shopping Centre, just a five-minute walk from the Isle of Wight ferry terminal and around 10 minutes from the International Cruise Terminal. Excellent transport links make it easily accessible, with Southampton Central Station only a short bus or taxi ride away, and ample city-centre parking nearby.
The trade area is open-plan, centred around a striking bar servery that serves as the hub of the pub. At the far end of the space, a warm open fire creates a cosy focal point, especially popular during the colder months. The trade kitchen, located at the rear of the bar servery, delivers a pub grub menu. In November 2024, the Titanic benefited from a transformational refurbishment, with significant improvements to both the interior and exterior, enhancing the overall atmosphere and visitor experience.
The private accommodation is a generous size and consists of three bedrooms, a lounge/office and a bathroom, all in good order.

The Titanic is a wet-led pub, with food offered to complement its drinks selection. The bar features an extensive range of draught beers, including Doom Bar, traditional real ales, and Guinness, alongside a selection of homemade gins and a variety of premium spirits.

The pub is a vibrant social hub, regularly hosting live music, DJs and karaoke, and is a popular destination for football fans on match days at St Mary’s Stadium. It’s also dog-friendly and offers reliable Wi-Fi, making it an ideal spot for remote workers, office staff, or anyone looking to combine a relaxed atmosphere with connectivity.
The landlords are seeking an experienced licensee to lead The Titanic, driving wet sales while growing and enhancing the food offer. Building on strong existing foundations, there is real scope to unlock further growth at this iconic pub.
