They had quench quake on tap, which I thought was cool. Certainly could spend many hours here. A few too many TVs around for me. I prefer craft beer bars to not also be sports bars, but I was happy to find this on a walk up to the station and would come again if in the area.

Inferno has good quick lunch food. They also have a great loyalty card that adds up to money off rewards. Love the decor and the current staff are friendly.

This place is awesome. Great selection of drinks with offer of food too. There is a pool room upstairs with big tv for sports. Each game of pool is £1. Private hire fridge is also available upstairs for functions which looked really cool. Last mention to the barman, he was an absolute delight.

Wow just wow! The inferno is as hot as the name suggests for its culinary creations, the atmosphere is airy and fun with various things to interact with and a games room upstairs with pool tables, toilets are clean and well lit. Staff are happy to help, they have a selection of Ciders and beers to choose from and some of the bottles of wine are under a tenner. The food is honestly amazing the chefs are a true credit to this establishment. Will be coming here to indulge in the rest of your tantalising menu Thank you.

Recently renovated venue that regularly shows live sports, offer a couple of pool tables and retro gaming upstairs. serves good food and drinks, not the cheapest but mostly a reasonable price for the quality. offers loyalty rewards that make sense if you plan to go regularly and a generous selection of drinks and again not the cheapest price but provided they have the craft beers and ciders available the venue offers a good evening venue.

Great pub, really good atmosphere and they do nice food. Only downside is the price with a pint of dark fruits costing £4+ when a few doors down at the whetherspoons it costs half that. Would definitely recommend the Wing Wednesday 50 wing challenge.

I lived in student accommodation near this during my first year at Bournemouth University and regret not going here more often. I discovered it in the early days of living in Bournemouth, myself and a group of friends went to the pub quiz. This was really enjoyable, generous prizes and a sophisticated event. Sadly I never really went much again until the past couple of weeks. From recent visits here are some things I've picked up on. Board games are provided for free in the entrance, this is a nice extra but unfortunately most the games are missing vital elements making them unplayable. They have a section with retro games that looks pretty cool, never had a chance to have a go. They also offer a pool table but it's usually being hogged by the same group. The drink prices are reasonable for alcohol, but very cheap when it comes to soft drinks. If you order a tea of coffee you are entitled to free refills which was a nice surprise. I've never tried food here but the menu is broad and well priced, wish I'd tried eating here. If the place had a little TLC in areas it'd be much better, for example the bench chair on the right when you walk in is completely broken and needs fixing. Overall it's a nice place, good student atmosphere, well priced and some fun extras. Give this place a try!
