Fabulous town centre brewhouse. No music just the sound of people enjoying their drinks and chatting. Great range of ales and gins on offer. Highly recommended.

Brilliant pub that we were lucky to happen upon on a trip to Dorchester. Lovely atmosphere, no piped music just "rabbit". Beer selection small but perfectly formed. Wish I had a Rabbit local to me.

Passed this place a few times, and on my to do list for a while. I'm not an ale drinker, but do appreciate places that are not the norm. It didn't dissapoint. It's small, very quirky, and definitely doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't.I had a warm welcome from Nigel, the owner, and a great chat with a customer called Arthur, (hope you rode home safe).This is an ale House, and dose it very, very well. My only disappointment was that I'm not really into ale, and wuss'ed out on the only available (I think) lager. Which was still very good, and served in a extremely groovy glass.No music, no fruit machine, just down to earth comfort. Thank you, and I'll be back.

Well, this was a very unusual establishment we "fell into" just happy to escape wild weather+cold wind. We innocently asked if we could have bowls of soup remembering delectable offerings in a French hostelry. The barman (I presume the owner) politely said there wasn't such a thing. One of the regulars (there were only4 other customers, was heard to mutter "there's beer soup"!So we asked for brandy, "no sorry" came the oft heard response. My husband suggested rum, at last we'd alighted on an available liquid. The only food was a vast choice of potato crisps. We chose 2 different flavours of posh ones. The rum made everything seem a little less gloomy and sparce. The barman kindly let us hug one little moveable radiator. We were frozen.The loo was a space opposite the bar called "The Thunder Box". It was a weird experience but I'm glad we went there to see another kind of hospitality far from the norm. It felt like something Agatha Christie might have included in her writings.Good luck to The Convivial Rabbit+it's clientelle.I see below there are questions about favourite dishes on the menu. There were no dishes+no food!!Wheelchair accessibility: With difficulty I'd say, perhaps possible.

Convivial indeed with great beer and crisps.

Nice pint of Budvar. Bar man was friendly and welcoming, shame there was no music or anything.

I would rather not say too much because it is one of those amazing places where you can still have a chat with your friends without loud music interrupting you, the beer selection changes but it is always brilliant and the staff are friendly and helpful; so far it has been a little gem where I can take friends for a beer and they love it!

Large, welcoming well ventilated space for micropub. 6 ales in good condition, though can be a little warm, with plenty of variety. Excellent local cider. Not cheap

Enjoyed our beers sitting in the sunshine in the alleyway outside but there was seating inside as well. Place is hidden away - wouldn't have found it without Google maps & name doesn't give much away but worth looking for.
