Pubs & Bars

Bournemouth is well known for its bustling and vibrant nightlife. The resort’s cosmopolitan culture makes it the perfect home to hundreds of pubs and bars that cater for groups of all sizes and with very different reasons to celebrate. Whether it’s a quick drink after work or a big night out in honour of a special occasion, you’ll find the perfect venue among Bournemouth’s award winning selection.

If you’re on your way to the cinema or theatre, there are plenty of places in the town centre that offer a glass of bubbly as well as light bites and nibbles. Or for the perfect excuse to wear your favourite LBD or new top, we’ve got stylish cocktail bars serving the latest creations from talented mixologists.

There are also traditional pubs and microbreweries where you can sample local ales and home brews or sit outside in the sunshine with a refreshing pint. In the coastal villages, you’ll find a lively suburban vibe complete with award winning live music venues and comedy clubs.

Of course, our USP is our breathtaking coastline and many of the pubs and bars on the seafront and along the clifftops offer sea views. Many of the bars in our huge selection of coastal hotels are open to the public so you can enjoy panoramic vistas over a glass of wine. We’ve even got a sky bar at the heart of the resort!

There are also spacious central venues that are ideal for larger groups so you won’t spend ages waiting to get served when it’s your round!

Awarded Purple Flag status for our commitment to a safe and vibrant night time economy, whether you’re on a date night with your better half or out for a ‘knees up’ with a bunch of mates, from the most popular national chains to a good ol’ fashioned local, a pub or bar with a warm welcome and friendly atmosphere awaits.
