Fancy hunkering down for the afternoon at one of the best pubs in Bournemouth city centre? Then why not head on down to The Stable as they not only have some of the top drinks in the business, the wood-fired pizzas are renowned across the UK.
Brewhouse & Kitchen is a craft beer lovers dream, with a selection of tasty beers brewed in-house, a hearty selection of burgers and other comfort food, and even unique beer garden beach huts to relax in too. One of the best pubs in Bournemouth town centre? Absolutely.
Fronting laid-back vibes, tasty food and hop-tastic bevvies, BrewDog Bournemouth is one of our favourite boozers. Whether you're popping in for a mid-week pint or fancy opting for a bottomless brunch with brekkie plates galore, this watering hole is sure to impress.
Whatever your nightlife needs, Sixty Million Postcards most likely has you covered. First and foremost this Exeter Road venue is a pub, serving a fine choice of American eats courtesy of the guys at Ruby Jean's Diner. Come for Wing Wednesdays if you're feeling particularly famished.
When it comes to football pubs in Bournemouth, as well as ones showing a variety of other sports, Felson's is the perfect pick. Inspired by Fast Eddie Felson, the iconic 1950s Hollywood eight-ball legend, the venue also focuses on American pool - the perfect opportunity for some competitive socialising.
Step into The George Tapps for a friendly, welcoming atmosphere and a cracking selection of drinks. Located on Old Christchurch Road in Bournemouth, this cosy pub offers everything from ice-cold beers and creative cocktails to mouthwatering comfort food like loaded jacked potatoes and nachos.
Whether you're here for a relaxed evening with friends or a lively night out with live music and events, it never disappoints. Don't forget to grab a spot in the beer garden when the weather's fine as it's the perfect place to enjoy your pint and people-watch.
The Pavilion Arms is only a 15-minute walk from the promenade, boasting a gorgeous sun-soaked beer garden as well as being dog-friendly, meaning you don't have to leave your furry friend at home. It offers 10 stylish boutique rooms should you fancy an overnight stay, and its restaurant whips up delicious seasonal dishes made from local produce. Look forward to tucking into light dishes like grilled halloumi with crispy polenta, or scrumptious flatbreads topped witch keema mince and sweet potato houmous, then wash it down with a nice cold pint.
Looking for pubs near you? O'Neill's is coming up trumps offering up plenty of pints of Guinness, bottomless brunches and even Saturday night live music. And if that wasn't enough, they're mad about live sports too with HD screens to boot.
You won't ever find The Goat & Tricycle resting on its laurels. This hidden gem prides itself on its ale list, where there's no less than 11 guest pumps to select between at any given time. In addition, there's home-cooked pub fare to enjoy while you're here.
The Libertine is a relaxed and familiar gastropub in the heart of Westbourne. Offering top quality across the board, bring the family for a hearty meal of the freshest, locally sourced produce, or catch-up with an old friend over a pint of the venue's very own Libertine Gold ale.
