  “I visited quite early in the day so it was fairly empty but Anna at the bar was lovely! I had cheese fries and they were good. Great drink selection, even better music. Everyone was friendly and the bar is nice with outdoor seating and stage for live music. If you like metal/rock, I highly recommend this place”

  “I love this place. The staff are always amazing. They have recently started to serve food. I nipped across after soundcheck with my band Devilsky and was very impressed with the quality of my food. I will always eat there when I'm performing or seeing bands in the area. Keep up the good work guys!”

  “With reference to the food- no paprika crisps. If they included paprika crisps in their offerings, I would have given them 5 stars for food. Though as a place that does not sell food, this could be rather misleading.”

  “easily the best bar in bournemouth, especially compared to the local similar offerings. friendly vibe and cheap drinks prices! usually playing pretty good music too, the only real criticism is they like to have tables/chairs or even pool tables where people would be dancing so it can get pretty crowded around the stage/dj area! would be awesome to see more gigs/club nights happen here as both the bar and bear cave are super fun!”

  “Best bar on earth. Staff are incredible! Door staff are the best. They host soooooo many local bands from the surrounding areas as headliners. The bespoke artwork in the toilets is always thought provoking and eye catching. Also the owner is a decent chap.”
