Walkabout Inn

Have been in this bar twice now to watch some sports (it is billed as a sports bar after all) and can’t get over how bad it was.
On both occasions the place was absolutely freezing! People were sitting around wearing their jackets, scarfs etc. The place is heavily air conditioned and there only seems to be one setting — ice cold. We asked some of the bar staff if they could turn it off it at least put some heat into the place. No luck. I’m assuming they get paid minimum wage because that’s about all the effort they make.
Place seems badly run also. Behind the bar there is a range of beers on tap but on both occasions they only had one beer available! Again I’m assuming that the staff there just couldn’t be bothered to change the barrels.
On the bright side though — you can get a discount card for a small fee which will allow you to get cheap booze — great if you’re a student or in Bournemouth for a stag or hen party!
If your not then avoid — it’s like an Asda version of a bar — cheap prices, uninterested staff, cold and big queues!

This Australian themed bar is a big bar that caters well for large groups of young people at the weekend.
Bar has offers on most days, serves food until about 10ish in the evening and has a licence until gone 2 am most nights.
Top tip — Buy a boomerang card at the bar for £3 and you get 25% off all food and drink.
Fully recommend the proper Aussie style grub, especially the kangaroo
