While there is always something to do in Bournemouth during the day, this聽certainly doesn't stop when the sun goes down. With聽something going on every night of the week in bars, clubs and pubs across the town, it is no wonder that Bournemouth is well known for its lively nightlife.聽

Bars and pubs
Bournemouth and Poole also have a vast amount聽of bars and pubs where you can have聽a bite to eat, a chilled drink, or enjoy a dance聽in the evening.聽At Talbot Campus, we have聽Dylan's Kitchen and Bar, which is open for food during the day and stays open late at night with regular live music and quiz nights.
Despite being a little further away from the town centre, in Lower Parkstone, Poole also hosts a good nightlife vibe at the weekend. It's home to a range of pubs and聽cocktails bars, which聽are great for a change of scenery away from Bournemouth, but they are a little pricier than the聽typical student club night during the week.聽
