The Commodore

The Commodore is a Greene King pub on Southbourne Overcliffe Drive in Bournemouth, enjoying an elevated position overlooking the coast. Just a short distance from Fisherman's Walk and the seafront, it's a lovely spot to settle in after a beach walk or a longer adventure towards Hengistbury Head. Dogs are welcome inside designated pub and bar areas, making it a welcoming stop whatever the weather.

Food and drinks are served daily from 8am, with the kitchen open until 9pm. There's a beer garden for sunnier days and on-site parking for easy visits. Four-legged guests are particularly well looked after, with water bowls, complimentary treats, blankets and poo bags available. There's even a selection of dog-friendly food options, including chicken breast, sausages and small roast dinners, so nobody has to sit watching everyone else enjoy their lunch.

The clifftop location makes The Commodore especially handy for exploring Southbourne's coastline, with year-round dog-friendly beach areas nearby and seasonal restrictions on other stretches. Whether it's a morning coffee, a leisurely lunch or a well-earned post-walk pint, dogs can settle comfortably alongside their owners, with plenty of thoughtful extras to make them feel welcome.
