    Great little music venue with delicious food! The staff are so friendly and helpful, they always make us feel very welcome every time we visit. There is also a great range of beer and ciders.

    Great food - tacos were lovely, zinging with flavour. Wide range of lovely beers. Enjoyable environment - young and loud. Staff were helpful and friendly and put us on a nice table. Definitely returning. Recommended.

    Came for a lunchtime catch up with friends. Barman was really helpful with helping my friends choose beers and put an effort into making my drink specia (I’m pregnant and bored of juice in a half pint so this was a welcome change). Food was incredible; portions were extremely generous, but didn’t lose any of the quality in flavour. Also has a little record shop in house which is a nice addition. Would definitely recommend to anyone in or out of the area.

    Our first visit here but won’t be the last, relaxed welcoming vibe with chill out sounds -outstanding food at great prices. Only small downside not enough of an array of sprits.

    We turned up for our meal as booked by opentable, but were told that the kitchen was closed and they couldn't serve us. Apparently the kitchen closes at 4pm on Sundays, but we were still able to make a reservation for 7pm.

    Popped in on Wednesday night for a couple of quiet beers. Overdraft was busy but not manic. Plenty of choice on the beer front, settled for a nice pint of Stylus, nothing too heavy as I was working next day. We didn't eat this time round but have had food before from the Taco menu - tasty and with just the right level of heat. As usual the staff were friendly and very helpful, the beer was excellent and we bumped into a couple of friends which was good. Wednesday night is Open Night on the DJ decks so you can't be sure what kind of sounds you're going to get. This particular evening the music was quite chilled and laid back - nothing that interrupted the flow of conversation. As it was a nice sunny evening there were plenty of people outside as well. Just a piece of advice, if you're expecting a sports bar, selling all the usual mass produced, overpriced, tasteless lager then this is definitely not the place for you.

    Had dinner for two of us at Overdraft in Southampton. On arrival we had a short wait for drinks then a considerable wait for our food order to be taken. We were informed by the waitress that they had no nachos (which for a mexican restaurant seemed crazy!!) And also had ran out of the smoked aubergine taco dish. We compromised and found something else to order and instead of loaded nachos they offered loaded fries which we accepted. Our side orders arrived, all of which were smothered in Corriander. I am amazed how they ran out of nachos and didnt run out of Corriander. This led to all of the dishes tasting exactly the same (like coriander). We were also never given any plates so we ate off of napkins. Our loaded fries had so much gauc, sour cream and cheese sauce they all blended into one and it was a soggy chip soup. We also must have waited an extra 40 minutes for them to bring out our tacos (that were also smothered in Coriander!) And they were stone cold. Sent them back and they came back 5 minutes later with warm ones. They had a DJ playing in the restaurant which i am all for but the music level kept going up and up so you had to shout to talk to one another. Overall would not recommend and will not be returning!!!!

    Admittedly Overdraft wasn’t the most obvious choice for a hen do lunch but who knew how perfect it would be! Nothing was too much trouble for the staff they were wonderfully attentive; the food was delicious, prepared quickly and something for everyone, including vegans, and I’m sure the craft beer is great but we stuck to the gin choices and Prosecco! Thanks guys you made our day!

    Been a long time visitor to Southampton’s Overdraft. Always a great selection of interesting beers and the food is exceptional and great value for money. Very friendly folks on hand providing an excellent service and overall experience, and have done a brilliant job keeping it going over the Covid pandemic.
