Bournemouth town centre is bustling by day and equally so, bursting with fun, excitement and activities by night.

As well as cinemas and theatres, there are a multitude of wine bars, cocktail bars and nightclubs to choose from or if you prefer someone to entertain you - there are comedy clubs, cabaret clubs and live music venues and sports bars offering great entertainment with many serving delicious food.

The nightlife in Bournemouth is spread throughout the town. Close to the Bournemouth International Centre you will find classy cocktail bars, nightclubs and wine bars and a varied mix of appetising cuisine including Italian and Sushi.

Around the town's main square there are a diverse range of venues from traditional English pubs to live music settings. A short distance from the square is the Triangle area of the town where you can enjoy a wide choice of cabaret bars, nightclubs, wine bars and eateries.

On the opposite side you will be spoilt for choice with endless venues for all ages and styles from Old Christchurch Road to the Lansdowne and beyond…. stylish and relaxing, vibrant and pulsating - life's more than a beach in Bournemouth!

The beauty of Bournemouth's town centre is that everything is within walking distance but if you are exhausted from dancing the night away, there are many licensed taxis in the town centre to take you back to your accommodation, any time of the day or through the night.

In addition to the bars and clubs, there are many events happening throughout the town in the evenings. You might like to take a night flight in the Bournemouth Eye Balloon into the night sky above the twinkling lights of the town and across the Bay, or enjoy an evening stroll along the seafront and sample one of the many superb restaurants.
