The Juniper Berry is an interesting corner of Southampton old town in which to enjoy a quiet drink. Previously known as Bosun's Locker, this pub is based on the site of a house where Jane Austen lived with her mother, brother and his wife for three years between 1806 and 1809. Unfortunately the house was demolished during a slum clearance in 1901, so a potential tourist attraction was lost. You can sit outside on sunny days and peer under a Castle Bailey arch, which was once underground. This pub is lovely in the daytime, but does get a bit rowdy at night.
Platform Tavern is one of two pubs in Southampton with a significant Titanic connection, the other is The Grapes. Remember the scene in James Cameron's film where Jack wins his ticket playing cards? This is the pub that scene took place in. In those days, before the other side of the road was developed, you could look across from the pub and see the Titanic moored like a huge floating cliff. Mr McCready, one of the stewards lost with the ship, lodged here. Today it is a quiet spot to sit inside or outside and enjoy a relaxing drink.
