About All Hail Ale

All Hail Ale is a micropub on Queens Rd in the Westbourne area of Bournemouth, set in a former restaurant. Beer is poured on keg and cask, with the cask beers on handpump, and cans are stocked too. The drinks list changes regularly, and Purbeck Bushey Berry, Siren Lumina and Farmyard Brew The Hoof have all appeared on it. English production runs through the rest of the range. The ciders come on tap and in bottles, and the wines and spirits are English as well. Dogs are welcome inside. Bar snacks are on hand, and pizza from the Italian restaurant next door can be brought in to eat at the pub. Entry is for adults only, with no one under 18 admitted.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the range of craft beer and real ale, with cask and keg on offer alongside bottles and cans from a fridge to drink in or take out. Several mention three casks on handpump and well kept beer, and one praises sours and stouts. Close behind is the knowledgeable, friendly staff, with the bartender and landlord described as helpful about the drinks they stock. Also mentioned are a welcoming, friendly vibe, bar snacks, dog friendliness, and a two man band that took requests from a list on a Thursday. No recurring complaint appears, though one reviewer notes the walk from the railway station is long. Several reviewers highlight the arrangement with the Italian pizza restaurant next door, where the pizza is brought into the pub to eat alongside a pint, with the one request that rubbish be taken away afterwards.

“This is an excellent bar. Mix of cask and keg, decent bar snacks and a welcoming environment. Lovely staff member who was knowledgeable about beers and the selection of craft beers was really ask thought through. A delightful venue, Bournemouth should be very proud to have it.”

“Was very happy to find this pub on my visit to Bournemouth. Fantastic beer selection, both cask and draft. Knowledgeable bartender, good friendly vibe, and even a two man band playing a huge selection of great music (that you can request from a list) on the Thursday I was there. Would definitely go back next time I'm in town.”

“If I could give a pub a six star rating I would definitely do that for this great establishment. The barman Melvyn was really friendly and very knowledgeable about the ale, beer, lager and cider he was selling. I hope your approaching retirement goes well and the boat steers you to many more great pubs with countless new Ales to sample. One thing that I loved about the pub was that they actually had a deal going with the authentic Italian Pizza restaurant next door. You ordered your food and whilst waiting for it to be freshly cooked you pop in to the pub for a swift one. Your food was then delivered to the pub and you can eat it while sampling a beer or two. The only polite request was that you take your rubbish with you. The list of drinks available regularly changes so definitely worth visiting a few times if you are staying in the area for a few nights.”

“Lovely look and feel to the place, brilliant range of craft beer and real ale on cask and keg plus bottle and can in fridges to drink in or take out. Wine, spirits and soft drinks too. Great people running the place and very knowledgeable about beer and the products they stock. Thoroughly recommended - the best range and craft style in Bournemouth and Poole in my opinion.”
