If that turns out too noisy then consider a Wetherspoons as they have no music and no noise from fruit machines. They also tend to have a lot of carpet, a unique design per pub influenced by its history or location, which absorbs noise unlike the fashionable hard floors elsewhere. Oh, and the drinks are cheap. Probably best to avoid a Tuesday or Thursday evening, Steak and Curry Club nights. Monday Club has the drinks get even cheaper; I don't know if that makes it busy. I see there's one in Winton. https://www.jdwetherspoon.com/pubs/all-pubs/england/dorset/the-parkstone-and-heatherlands-bournemouth Looks like there's some parking nearby, off Cranmer Road, though I don't know if it's public; I'm not a local. https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/50.74336/-1.87835 -- Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: The Broadway, Wednesday, 2024-06-19 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
