The Fiveways

The Fiveways is a dog-friendly pub in Bournemouth where dogs are welcome inside, which makes it a handy choice when the weather is doing Bournemouth things and outdoor tables have lost their appeal. It works well for dog owners looking for a proper pub stop without having to treat the dog as an optional extra and it sits close enough to Bournemouth centre to be useful without the seafront scrum.

This is a traditional sports pub with food service, screens for sport and the sort of practical pub set-up that suits mixed plans: a meal, a drink or somewhere to pause after local Bournemouth or Charminster dog walks. There is a car park and accessible parking too, which helps when the dog, the coats and the just-in-case towel all come along.

Dogs should stay off the furniture, but under-table supervision remains very much their department. The car park and whole-pub dog welcome make it a solid inland option for dog owners who prefer to park once and settle in properly rather than circling the busier bits of town.
