Harbour Inn
The trio of pubs clustered at the foot of the Cobb are great for harbourside bustle. The Harbour Inn, with stone walls and wooden settles, pips the others for atmosphere and sheer range of pub grub.

Poole Arms
Poole's harbour is lined with waterside watering holes. The green, tiled Poole Arms is the oldest pub on the quay and is thankfully unmessed-about-with - framed knot-samples and deeply worn wooden tables still rule. It also serves tasty bar food of the homemade fish soup and pie variety.

Landmarc
The preacher wouldn't recognise it. This vibrant bistro-cum-music venue is set in a massive former church - now the stained glass merges with red neon. Acts are a mix of acoustic and tribute bands, with comedy on Wednesdays. The menu's full of tasty café staples: Swiss burger and fries, grilled tuna steak and Thai chicken curry.
