The best Sunday night out, and the most enjoyed venue out of 10 plus visited in a long weekend in BM…DJ on point like a compass: worked through many genres with something for everyone, great vibes, dance floor packed. Friendly crowd, mix of ages.Service friendly and efficient with almost zero queue due to excellent staffing levelsToilets very clean , unlike other venues that were disgraceful.Bouncers friendly, and just generally a good spirit and energy between everyone working there.They even pulled out free Krisby Kreme donuts, I mean come on!Don’t hesitate to go out on a Sunday night as it was epic!

Karaoke nights were a struggle, doorpersons were unpredictable. DJ only chose fave songs and the bouncers kicked out those who didn't want to spend or older. Changes from night to night. Who knows?

Not one to write reviews but awful experience at Walkabout Bournemouth due to the bouncers outside. Extremely rude, ignorant and inconsistent with their own rules. No costumer service skills at all nor any general people skills. One bouncer lied to his colleague, made assumptions and unprofessional comments about us. The other extremely unhelpful and rude. Both completely unprofessional in approach. Such a shame as have been in here many times before with no issues. If you’re going to have these rules please be consistent with them.

Barman was rude, continually pouring the wrong drinks and claiming he was making what I had ordered when it was totally different. Refused to change it when pointed out that I asked for cranberry juice and not RED BULL. Never ordered a red bull in my life and the words aren’t even interchangeable.

Rude and obnoxious door staff. Will not be returning to this venue anytime soon due to unpleasant experience I have encountered before even entering the venue...have come across very discriminative to friends of mine also. Not a good first impression I'm afraid.

This place was very accommodating of my severely handicapped brother.

Would have been considerably better if we didn't make up more than half of the people in there.
Lovely place, reasonably priced lively staff and good music

Racial Profiling by security -It is disheartening to report that our experience at this club was marred by blatant racial profiling by the security staff, an incident that evokes a bitter echo of outdated prejudices. An interaction transpired between my friends and one of the security staff who seemed to judge us solely on our appearance, following which he conferred with another guard, possibly a superior, before returning to us.It was the words that followed which further drove the point home - the assertion that they "expect some other type of clients and energy," was nothing short of disappointing. It's difficult not to interpret this as them preferring clients of a different ethnicity or skin color. If this is indeed your policy, it would be better to explicitly state this on your website, allowing potential customers to make an informed decision about whether to patronize your establishment.The irony of the situation was not lost on us, in an era when we have grown to respect diversity and equality, such attitudes still exist. However, we chose not to argue, deciding instead to save our energy for more welcoming establishments. And indeed, we found several other clubs that were respectful and inclusive, where we were treated just as anyone else would be.It's a shame that we encountered such an experience in your club, and we hope that this feedback serves as a wake-up call for a reconsideration of your policies. This is not about retaliation or revenge; it's about advocating for equality and dignity for all patrons, regardless of their race or ethnicity. In the end, the world is a diverse place and your establishment should reflect this reality.Thanks for your time.

Pathetic service… I think the guard don’t like us… I don’t know is these club allowing entry based on guard judgement and like/dislike or the club owner.. ??? The funny thing is, we just had a visit and guard told us the people behind us are more energetic and you guys should be like those people and the client has that expectations. ?? we just looked people behind us and shocked and thought is he really talking about the energyor something else which I don’t want todisclose.. but I don’t know what expectations you guy’s looking for.. if you are really looking for such clients then please do mention about these expectations on your web site so that people with such expectations and energy do visit your bar and satisfy you.All the best and hope so no one can face such situation again in future.
