Bar Vin, Bournemouth

Bar Vin is no more - it is now The Orange Rooms which caters for a young hip crowd with a solid line up of decent dance music.

The Richmond Arms, Charminster

It's such a shame how far this pub has fallen. back in the day, summer evenings were all about a nice cold pint in the Richy beer garden. Since Joe Morano left as landlord it has gone down the toilet. Last time I was in there it was a disgrace, it stank of p*ss from the filthy toilets, staff had attitute and the whole place was dirty with a bad vibe. The small side bar where the foreign students used to gather hasn't been open since the new management took over.

But much worse than all of that: they have built a huge, ugly smoking shelter over a big portion of the beer garden. Such a shame.

Try The Brunswick instead.

The Brunswick Hotel, Bournemouth

Have to say, I'm loving the Brunswick these days. Great real ales on constant rotation, meat draw every friday, huge HD projector screen in the atrium out back, movie club on wednesdays, friendly staff, roaring fire and a great atmosphere, to name but a few of it's charms.

It has undergone a huge transformation over the past couple of years and now has a little something for everyone.

Top boozer :)
