Bars and Pubs in Bournemouth

With big entertainment venues in the heart of the resort, there are plenty of bars to choose from if you’re looking for pre or post-show drinks – we’ve even got a sky bar for panoramic views.

Looking for a more chilled vibe? Or cocktails overlooking the beach? You guessed it, we have it. There are cocktail bars in many of our hotels with sea views and even some slap bang on the promenade so you can step of the sand and sink into a sangria. You’ll feel like you’re watching the sun go down on Miami Beach.

Moving out from the town centre, Bournemouth has several distinct areas with their own identity. The Triangle is popular with our LGBTQ+ community while, situated near the college, Lansdowne is within walking distance for Bournemouth’s ever-growing student population. These locations are gateways to the coastal villages of Boscombe, Southbourne and Westbourne all of which have their own flavour.

Boscombe’s bohemian vibe makes its pubs, bars and clubs appealing to local artists and rising talent. So, you’ll find open mic nights, acoustic sets and DJ sessions on offer. Westbourne and Southbourne are home to independent retailers and boutiques by day so a selection of wine bars and quaint, coastal pubs are the natural fit for these suburban communities.

We’re also proud to have been awarded Purple Flag status, showing that we meet or surpass standards of excellence in managing the evening and night-time economy. So, when you visit you can enjoy a fun-filled night out safe in the knowledge that we’re behind the scenes keeping you as safe and comfortable as possible.
