We came here expecting a tapas selection as that's what was advertised. When we saw the menu we thought we were in the wrong restaurant. There were a handful of courses to choose from so not a great lot of choice. When we asked about tapas they said they could knock something up or try some of the starters. We... More

While visiting my cousin in Portsmouth we frequented Angry Alys on every night of my stay. The service and more importantly, the friendliness of Rod and Aly AND the regular customers was unbelievable, I have never been to a wine bar before where on my first visit I felt like a seasoned regular!! The bar is cosy, clean and comfy,... More

This is a relatively small restaurant, offering quite a limited menu. Each and every item on the menu is cooked to a high standard and the presentation and level of service are faultless. However, it's a slightly strange setting, the decor is a bit dated, and there are some handbags and jewellery for sale around the room!

We love going to Angry Alys. The place is a one off. Loads of entertaining regulars (and that's quite apart from Rod) and lovely food. They really do go the extra mile for you. We love it and visit at least twice a week. Thoroughly recommend it for a good night out.

We went here and there where 9 of us. Although the atmosphere was great and u could buy bags and jewellery the food could do with a little more attention. It was good to see the owner making sure that we where having a good time. Even though this is in my opinion, a very average restaurant i would still... More

We visited Portsmouth to see our daughter who is at the University. We found Angry Aly's when visiting in November last year. We were looking for somewhere that was truely local and not part of a chain. We had a wonderful evening on that occasion so a return visit was a must. Rod is very welcoming, the ambience is relaxed... More
