Ideally situated opposite Pokesdown railway station in Christchurch Road,The BELL,has much improved since a recent refurbishment. A new food menu,pool tables and Sky TV have created a nice feel to the place. A traditional old local pub serving a decent pint, full of characters, even a Val Doonican lookalike!!

Full of chavvy non entities. And that's just the staff!

the bar area is good but the pool area does attract some chav types.

Just left here and I thought it was fine. Clean, good beer and the football on.
Can't say what it's like on a Friday night though!

Clean inside but still has a reputation for trouble.Be aware of Percy who sits at the bar and farts loudly the smell is horrendous

On my last visit a week ago i didnt think this one was too bad,has a bit of a reputation as a rough hole but seemed this time to have lost most of its menace.........maybe i was lucky or it is on the up

The pub sign outside isn't of a bell but of a rubik's cube instead. Most peculiar. Even more risible is the message underneath the cube that reads 'Pokesdown's winning local'. Make no mistake, this place a dump but when your only competition is the lamentable White Horse you can't fail to attract some punters.
