# View Bournemouth

> View Bournemouth is a local city guide for Bournemouth, UK. We catalogue restaurants, pubs and bars, nightclubs, cinemas, hotels, events, festivals and live entertainment listings across Bournemouth and the surrounding South West area, with user reviews, addresses, and venue information for every listing.

Bournemouth is a city in the South England with a thriving food, drink and nightlife scene — from harbourside restaurants around Bournemouth Harbour to historic pubs, independent cinemas, and a calendar of festivals and live music. View Bournemouth is being rebuilt from an archived legacy site; venue counts below are approximate and being verified through an ongoing enrichment pass.
