The Sun, Bournemouth

60mpc is a sort of American Diner with a quirky interior and is quite big on live alternative music and a hangout for local bands.The pub is a large one roomed affair with a "moderate" selection of postcards pinned to the ceiling and on my lunchtime visit had 3 cask beers on show but more emphasis seemed to be on the unusually large amount of draught imported lager. At the front of the pub is a spacious seating area.

We selected this bar as a meeting place for a large group. Unfortunately I turned up with a University branded rugby style top. The management was not happy with this item of clothing on display on the premesis. Appeals for hospitality fell on deaf ears. Very kindly, the gathering were allowed to finish drinks that were already ordered, but if we wanted any more in my presence we would have to leave. Unsurprisingly, no more drinks or food were ordered, and we all left, never to return. As for the bar itself, it looked clean. Cannot comment on the beer or food as I was refused service. I saw somebody having a burger which looked OK. I suppose the bottom line is that there are plenty of other bars in Bournemouth. This one did not appear to have a special reason to visit it. If you are a large group there is a risk that a member will wear a sports style top so probably best to meet elsewhere.

Now known as 60 Million Postcards.
