Ludo Lounge

Ludo Lounge is a relaxed, all-day café bar on Southbourne Grove in Bournemouth, part of the Lounges group's neighbourhood chain of informal dining and drinking spots. Open from morning until late every day, it covers everything from breakfast and coffee through to leisurely lunches, evening meals and cocktails, all in colourful, comfortable surroundings with no pressure to move on.

Southbourne Beach is within easy walking distance via Fisherman's Walk, making Ludo Lounge a handy stop before or after time by the sea. Seasonal dog restrictions apply to parts of the beach between May and September, though year-round dog-friendly stretches can be found further east. For those arriving by car, Woodside Road public car park is nearby.

Dogs are welcome inside, and the Lounges group goes well beyond a bowl of water: fresh water, free treats, a dedicated dog menu and natural chews are all on offer under the Muttley Crew banner. The Lounge Canine Code asks that dogs stay on leads and keep paws off the furniture, which keeps things easy for everyone sharing the space.
