The Cellar Bar, Boscombe

This music-oriented pub has changed a lot for the positive in the past year or so.
Disclosure - I'm writing this from a very packed and thumpin' downstairs while waiting for the headline act to come on stage.

It used to be the case that one would get a beer from downstairs then drink it upstairs or in the garden. Now there is Live Original music all nights Mondays being the odd exception.

The beer deserves a mention - Cellar Bar downstairs has long been the place to get the best kept pint in town, still held, especially now Wytchwood Hobgoblin is regularly served. Chaplins upstairs retains a cafe bar appeal, mnore attractive now food is served (excellent from what I hear, I've not been able to partake of his yet myself).

The garden also deserves a mention, as it is totally unexpected in Boscombe to find one so deep and well - appointed, with (I hear) more improvements forthcoming.

The improvement to take my rating to a perfect 10 would be to place it out of the immediate environs and onto the coast, something that just won't happen!
