The Four Horsemen doesn't look too promising from the outside and it's quite dark and moody inside. There is a single room with the bar to the rear left side. There were no other customers when we arrived and none when we left. One guy did come in, waited around 5 minutes for service and then gave up and left again.
In fairness, the barmaid dressed all in pink was quite friendly and accommodating. She had just left the bar for a while to sort out some stock when the other customer had turned up.
Live music looks to be a bit of a theme here. There are plenty of events promoted. Although, I'd imagine it could be a fairly intimate environment during a busy music night.
Beers are all keg. The choice for our visit was Beavertown Neck Oil, Tiny Rebel Electric Boogaloo & Hazelnut Cracker, Vault City Strawberry Sundae, Boscombe Brown Ale & Piddle Coal Porter. My Hazelnut Cracker was quite enjoyable and we rounded a visit off with some shots. The pub has quite an extensive spirit selection.
For cask ales or a more traditional pub experience, there are other options in Bournemouth. But this one is a bit more alternative and is still worth a visit.

A craft bar with a not particularly pleasant Green and Purple colour scheme, a single long room narrowing as it reaches the bar to the rear. a mix of high and normal seating. There are sixteen keg taps with a mix of craft ,premium lager and normal keg stuff also bottles and cans available and a wide range of spirits. Certainly one of the better places in the poor pub town of Bournemouth but in the bigger picture nothing particularly special.

Originally The Bakers Arms, this single-width Victorian terraced house has a ground floor bar, well described below, and a basement bar which serves as a function room; the bar counter in the latter only opens when functions or live music or DJ acts are in progress. Three gravity fed casks behind the bar, a selection of European and British beers and two ciders on draft. Food is the down-market burger style, not expensive and fine for a quick lunch or early dinner. The drinks were well kept, though the draught drinks were a bit too cold. Staff were pleasant, the customers a very mixed bag. It's a good place to include in a crawl and makes a useful day-time bolthole.
