Poole Hill Brewery, Bournemouth

Rather quiet on my visit, maybe down to the time of day and location, seven handpumps with five Southbourne beers, the brewery is located within the pub, also a couple of beers from Tingays. There is a stage at the opposite end from the bar with an impressive display of musical instruments, mostly guitars, mounted on the wall behind. Due to the emptiness of the pub I found it a little downbeat, maybe it buzzes in the evenings.

There isn’t much I can really add to PSM’s detailed description, below, which is still extant. Ales on draft were a stout, Stroller, a brown ale, Beach Comber, and a pale ale, Cliff Riser. I had the latter, which was enjoyable and a great complement to the relaxing jazz music in the background. There was also Dorset Sunshine cider on draught plus two boxed ciders. The locals weren’t the most welcoming, though. I’d include on a crawl, and it would be a reasonable place to spend an evening.
