Over the last 14 years, the Railway has been Winchester’s leading, and well only, music venue. Originally a stable so farmers could, I assume, bring their cattle, and once rumored to be a Brothel, the venue at the rear of the building is now the hub for music in Winchester and its surrounding areas. The Railer has a brand new PA system that delivers only a quality of sound you would expect from a great music venue. With the sound being just right, the venue being underground and a perfect size to enjoy the bands, a well earned national respect has been forged by the 120 capacity venue.

Not just content with being the best music venue in our nation’s former capital, the Railway also has 2 additional bars and a heated smoking garden to satisfy all of your pub needs. Both bars are complete with Pinball, the latest quiz games, table football and a video jukebox that is stacked with the best new music and the finest cheese/80’s video’s we could find. A great selection of real ales and good quality beers, plus a wide offering of spirits and drink promotions can be found all year round.

Snack Food is available.

Situated right next to the train station that feeds a catchment area as far as London, Southampton, Portsmouth and beyond, and just a few minutes walk from the beauty that is Winchester City Centre.
