Mirroring that bohemian, Bournemouth by-the-seaside ambience, Urban Beach bistro-bar is housed in an award-winning boutique hotel in Boscombe. High-quality, forever-friendly service coupled with that beachy, laid-back vibe with its trendy, tropical twist, Urban Beach makes for a most desirable drinking den for both guests and locals alike.

Employing a contemporary, but comfy design inside with its sleek, modern fittings, complemented by a relaxed retreat feel on its outdoor decked area and appropriate addition of thatched roofing, you'll no doubt feel like you've wandered into an exotic urban oasis. Reflecting its surfery surroundings, the interior showcases a splash of nautical knick-knacks, a sprinkling of fresh fruit and vegetables, and focuses on bringing about an easy-going, chilled atmosphere in order to give you that "home away from home" feel.

A food and cocktail menu that moves as fast as the seasons and uses locally sourced produce, the Urban Beach team are always endeavouring to revamp their fare and boozy-smoothie mixes. We'd recommend the £12 "Fish & chips", locally harvested straight from the Channel, oh and from the quirky and creative cocktail list, pick up a "Pisco Sour" or a "A Lavender Smoke" for £7.50.
