The Westbourne

The Westbourne is a traditional Greene King pub on Poole Road in Westbourne, a village-style shopping area just west of Bournemouth town centre, where dogs are welcome inside. It works well as a relaxed all-weather stop for visitors with dogs, especially if you are browsing the Westbourne boutiques and independents, staying nearby, or travelling between Bournemouth and Poole.

Pub food runs daily, with drinks, live sport on Sky and TNT, and a beer garden for brighter days. Dogs get water bowls and treats on arrival, so hopeful noses tend to approve. A car park is available, which helps if you are driving in from elsewhere.

For dog owners planning a Westbourne wander or a longer Bournemouth day, knowing this is a paws-included pub takes the guesswork out of the planning. The indoor welcome means fewer tangled-lead negotiations in doorways and less pavement waiting when the rain arrives.
