The Sir Percy Florence Shelley, Boscombe

A dangerous, unpleasant and criminogenic hole. Avoid if you have any self-perservation instinct.

Seabourne, Pokesdown

Better than it was when it was The Bell, but it is still advisable to avoid this place. It's not pleasant.

The Commodore Hotel, Bournemouth

Doesn't have the maritime theme or legendary landlord of old, but it's not terrible. Admittedly, it is rather cramped inside on busy evenings, and you should never order their expensive boil-in-the-bag meals. Could do with more beers to chose from (choice has always been more limited here than in the Skyglass & Kettle and Grange Hotel) and a friendlier atmosphere.
