Sonny's Speakeasy

Sonny's Speakeasy is a dog-friendly bar on Old Christchurch Road in central Bournemouth, open evenings until late and welcoming dogs inside. That straightforward indoor welcome makes it a genuine breather for dogs and humans together rather than a doorway negotiation.

The bar opens at 6pm Tuesday to Sunday, running until midnight most nights and until 3am on Fridays and Saturdays. Closed Mondays. Cheese and charcuterie boards are on the menu alongside cocktails and cellar wines, so both of you can settle in properly while you eat and drink in the dog-friendly indoor area.

A handy central option for visitors with dogs who want a late bar rather than an early pub close — and nobody has to volunteer for pavement duty while the rest of the group heads inside. Especially useful when the weather turns or the evening needs a proper sit-down pause.
