Blue Scrumpy left this review about 60 Million Postcards

Large, modern bar with quite a few postcards high on the ceiling. There is plenty of seating around the bar and a few recently graduated university students were present along with their families. Most appeared to be there for lunch. Burgers are the speciality. Toilets are downstairs, along with a photo booth. A small garden area with huts can be found at the front.

The real ale was Proper Job. Real ciders were Weston's Rosie's Pig Rhubarb & Family Reserve. Craft beer options included Goose Island Today's Haze, Camden Pale & Beavertown Neck Oil.

As described by others below, this bar is above average in its genre. There is an outside seating area ruled over by friendly, helpful staff, while the interior is comfortable and pleasant. The eponymous postcards are indeed plentiful, and stapled to the walls, but they don’t number more than a few hundred. The cask ale pumps were empty, the best beer offering being Meantime from keg, but the day was saved with some decent cider and an interesting menu. I’d be happy to come back, preferably when there is some proper ale on.

An industrial-type premise done up as a drinking joint for the young - lots of garish colours and funky artwork. A long row of booths runs down one side, with a mixture of low and high tables elsewhere and a DJ desk at the back. Out the front is a patio area including some amusing 'beach hut' tables. A row of 5 handpumps offered Razorback and Dorset Frosted Jack, with Rosie's Pig cider, and on keg were a few Camden-type offerings. Not really my cup of tea, but a bonus mark for serving some decent beer (and Cask Marque too).

Trendy student/hipster bar, much like the Oakford Social in Reading and others of the ‘unbranded’ but-clearly-branded M&B stock. Housed in a single storey shed, it's dark, loud music, a plethora of pinned junk behind the bar and the inevitable postcards. Exposed brickwork and some eye-catching wood barred partition seating booths. Three pumps, just bloody Ringwood on (so-so condition) with some upscale keg lager and bottles also. Slow service and the when it eventually arrived the dopey barman tried to charge for pints rather than halves. Best left to those who are young and prefer style over substance - which is shame as a bit of care would make this worthwhile.

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.
