Pubs & Bars

From contemporary, light and modern bars to traditional pubs and an architectural gem or two steeped in Poole’s rich history, you can be sure of finding the ideal spot to relax and watch the world go by or enjoy a night with friends.

Whether on the hunt for the perfect pint with an emphasis on local, well kept ales and ciders, a cocktail connoisseur or budding mixologist, from craft beers and ciders to speciality gin, Poole’s pubs and bars have it covered.

Many of the town’s pubs and bars make the most of Poole’s natural harbour, seafront and coastline. Along Poole Quay take a seat at an outside table where an abundance of seating adds to the continental feel, allowing time to take in the relaxing views and make the most of the South Coast’s famously mild micro-climate.

Watch as the yachts, passenger boats and Sunseekers are put through their paces as the harbour offers an ever changing vista whilst sharing a plate of everything from exquisite freshly landed seafood to traditional family favourites. In the evenings, the quayside’s hostelries offer a great vantage point from which to settle down and enjoy spectacular special events from the beginning of April to 5 November.

A coastline walk from Poole Quay to Sandbanks or along the seafront allows the pleasure of stopping at regular intervals to relax and take in the scenery including top spots for a sundowner cocktail or two at perfectly located hotel bars with to die for views.

For the local lowdown, head to Ashley Cross or Penn Hill, where smaller independent bars provide a warm welcome and have all you need for a relaxed night out whether on a date with a special someone, after work drinks or ‘out out’ with friends. Whatever the occasion, have a great time in Poole.
