Eden Cafe & Bar in Bournemouth

Stayed at the Hampton by Hilton this bar was opposite. Had the best night. Staff were amazing and so friendly would 100% percent recommend. Would come here every time we go to Bournemouth best atmosphere in town

Far too loud music tonight playing outdoors, disturbing a lot of people staying in the Hilton opposite. Unacceptable.

Great atmosphere with very friendly staff. Well run and looked after also. Not over crowded and fair prices. Would recommend and will happily return in the future.

Went for a few cocktails as a celebration for my friend and the bouncer on the door told her she needed to get her id changed because her face looks a lot more slender than in her id, my friend had lost a lot of weight due to a quite visually obvious eating disorder and when I told the bouncer it had upset her that they commented on her weight change in the hopes they would learn and not do that to any other customers they became very defensive and rude telling me it’s their job!! Definitely not a safe place for anyone self conscious about weight or in lgbtq community!!

I recently visited Eden Garden Cocktail Bar and decided to try their margarita. Unfortunately, it was a massive disappointment. The bartender simply poured equal parts tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and—wait for it—sugar. Sugar in a margarita? It was outrageously sweet, to the point of being undrinkable. The balance of flavours was completely off, and it ended up being an absolutely horrendous experience. I certainly won’t be returning anytime soon.

Lovely place dj play nice music best place for relaxing

Such a good atmosphere! If you like house music/tech-house this is the place to come. The staff are so nice also!!

Banging night , great music ,great staff .. perfect bar . So glad we found it

Amazing atmosphere with friendly staff who were most welcoming. We were able to walk in dressed up for our friends 50th. Tried many cocktails as a group always served with friendly helpful faces.

I organised my partners birthday there, everyone had fantastic time. The cocktails were 100 out of 10. The staff are very friendly, supportive and professional. I can’t explain how grateful I am for the lovely night they helped me organise.

Really enjoyed this little bar, nice staff with decent cocktails. Didn't have food so no star for that.

We stayed at Hilton across the road from Eden and naturally decided to go to the cocktail bar in the hotel first which was called level8skybar. It wasn’t great so only stayed for one went for dinner and stopped in at Eden on the way back. We had such a good time and the atmosphere was just amazing! The cocktails we the best I’ve ever tasted and fairly priced. Next time we are in there area this will be the first bar we go to for sure!

Best place in town for cocktails and good vibes, live music every Friday with funky music on Saturdays, knowledgeable cocktails staff with extensive menu drinks with plenty of options that caters for everyone.

I love this place, very cosy and welcoming!! Excellent night out !! Thanks to all members of staff in particular manager Mitchell!!👍😊

Myself and my husband came across this place by accident., on our way back to our hotel after 1am... they were still open so we decided to pop in for a cocktail. Everyone was very welcoming, we were served by Mario. My husband wanted a cocktail that wasn't on the menu, but that wasn't a problem. Mario made our cocktails (even let me shake and pour mine!). They tasted great. They were so good we couldn't just have one each, we managed to get another before last orders. Now we know where this place is, we will definitely be back next time we visit Bournemouth!

What a great little place! Great cocktails great friendly staff! We walked in when the guy was photographing his signature cocktails once he finished he gave my wife one for free!

Amazing service with very knowledgeable bar staff who talked me through the drinks on offer and tailored them to what I like couldn’t fault them

Great atmosphere with very friendly staff. Well run and looked after also. Not over crowded and fair prices. Would recommend and will happily return in the future.

Fantastic venue and great cocktails!! The staff couldn't do more to make it a fun night - definitely worth a visit

We really enjoyed the time we spent here on a Saturday night. Eden is a very unique and relaxing bar. In summer the roof opens, giving it the atmosphere of an outdoor bar, but in bad weather it becomes enclosed. Each booth has a heater, so no need to worry if there is a chill either. The staff were friendly and there is a decent if not extensive range of cocktails. The prices are average for cocktails, whilst other more standard drinks are available too. We will visit again on our next trip to Bournemouth.

Amazing cocktails! Fab chat with Mitchell behind the bar. What a cool venue and funky beats 🎵 Defo worth a visit for pre-drinks!

I am from a big town, Bristol. Didn't expect to see such great service in a small town. Shout out LIL MITCH and BIG MITCH. Two proper bosses.

Lil' much and big mich made the night, sound guys🫶🏽 Made a Thursday night a super entertaining one and sooo friendly! Good lads💯

We had a reservation at Level 8 over the road, fould it a bit pretentious. See the Eden bar and thought we would give that a look. Very chilled atmosphere, guy doing the cocktails was chatty and friendly, music was great and despite being over 50 (48 the wife 😉) we never felt out of place. Good choice of cocktails made this passion, and a bonus that they were cheaper by 3 quid than those in level 8.

It was very loud even for me who was "out-out" but a very nice little bar to go to

First time at Eden tonight . I'm going back there on Wednesday . Great music , vibe and atmosphere . Table or bar service . Warm and friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit .

Excellent! So glad we found this little gem of a place if you're in Bournemouth you definitely want to check out this place! We were going to do a "pub crawl" but decided to just chill here as the vibe is perfect for us. The cocktails are great and a good price. The staff friendly and the music great too.

Great cocktails and so good to find a hidden gem when visiting a new area! Chilled vibes and loved the music too! Highly recommend this bar if you visit here. Tim and bar staff were brilliant and will def come back here again!

A great cocktail garden bar with heaters for the cold evening and both smoking and non smoking areas. The staff and the manager were super nice, accommodating and fun. Nice music and vibes.

Great venue, great staff and a lovely evening! We all visited the south coast for a weekend away for my friends birthday and ended up at this great bar!

Michelle was absolutely amazing as were the other bar staff, we will 100,,% be coming back in the summer ❤️❣️ your staff are amazing x

Great atmosphere and really friendly and helpful staff and security! Highly recommend.

Honestly had a great night. no cocktail was too much, even when asked to do many cocktails that was off menu, the bar manager was more than happy to accommodate. Great atmosphere and friendly bar staff. thank you 🥰

Lovely place, great atmosphere.

I had a trial shift at this establishment. Very good experience. The manager was professional and made the whole process of joining the team very pleasant. The team have been nothing but welcoming since I’ve started too. For the training shift, I was taught how to make multiple cocktails by highly experienced staff. Despite being known as an outside bar it is surprisingly warm inside too and the atmosphere is unmatched - especially on a Friday or Saturday! It’s rare that you find a place like Eden in terms of their staff, you’d struggle to find a more close group of people that make work really quite enjoyable. After my trial shift, which was from 7pm-2am (longer than 90 minutes) the manager kindly informed me that I would be paid for it at the end of the month. I could not recommend this bar more if you’re looking to have a good time with your mates - good cocktails and reasonably priced drinks means you can’t really go wrong. #NotAllBensAreBitter

We've been popping in here for a few years now. Its a great quirky place, both indoors and outdoors - you'll see what I mean when you get there. Its just behind the main shopping complex (BH2) so not too far out of the way. Tim is a great bar manager - with a huge array of cocktails stored in his brain. Lovely in the summer and also great fun in the recent arctic weather! Highly recommended if you want something 'in town' but not a typical town bar, by any stretch of the imagination. Great place to swing by for pre-dinner drinks or after dinner drinks. Or just drinks. See you again soon, Steve and Vicky

I had a trial shift at this establishment Very bad experience. The manager was very unprofessional during the interview, turning up late, in scruffy clothes and forgetting all documents for the interview, even my name. It had a very unwelcoming atmosphere. For the training shift, no one was trying to teach me and I had to constantly keep asking to be trained in which most of the time I could only watch. The heating did not work so it was freezing cold which all the staff agreed. Some of the stock is outdated. All staff were on their phones most of the time, even when customers arrived, insulting other staff members Infront of customers. After asking for payment for the shift, the manager tried every excuse not to pay me from answering a call he said was okay to take for 5 minutes or saying hi to someone I know for a minute. I raised this concern in a message spacing a few paragraphs and got back messages like 'lol'. He is still adamant on paying nothing. Avoid!

We visited Eden garden bar on a weekend away in Bournemouth for a friends birthday. The bar was brilliant, with live music, quick service, great cocktails, and fully heated outdoor seating. We had such a great time there that we went back to Eden bar every night of our stay and it never failed to dissapoint! Also, the bar found my phone that I lost and posted it back to my address without asking for postage money! Will definitely be back again soon thank you for hosting us for a brilliant weekend away!

On our way to a restaurant and running a little early and came across this place. It's sort of inside/outside space with cosy booths and zany AstroTurf covered seating. Friendly welcome and great cocktails. I am a massive fan of old horror films and clips from these were silently playing on TV screens ( probably due to Halloween). I also love a great soundtrack in a bar and this was superb and added to the experience. Sort of regretted having a meal booked as we could have stayed here all night!

I've been to Eden before and really enjoyed myself, lovely bar and really good vibe. Unfortunately last night I quickly wanted to go in there to use the toilet, some may say this is cheeky but (without going into too much detail) I have a...

Stumbled upon this amazing cocktail bar on the outskirts of the town centre, super warm & friendly welcome and the manager (we assume!) couldn’t do more for us, drinks were great quality & value for money - will definitely be back!

Great place. Friendly staff. 👌👌👌

Great bar, all the staff are really friendly. We have visited a few times, Tim and Rosie are absolutely fantastic!! So welcoming and nothing is ever too much trouble. This bar is one to visit, it has all the feels of summer vibes, whatever the...

Wicked little bar. Great drinks, atmosphere and better music. Cheers

Friendly staff. Good atmosphere

Great music venue. Staff are lovely.

Great vibe was really poor that they stopped serving cocktails at say around 10pm...

Phenomenal Friday night venue for cocktails and live music. Bouncers, bar manager Tim, severs, mixologists…all great attitude

Amazing place! Amazing cocktails! We really had a good time! Best cocktail bar and friendly staff!))Recommend!!!

Amazing place! Friendly staff and very delicious cocktails!!! Definitely recommend! Will come back here again!!!

Had a lovely evening in this open air bar. Excellent service and friendly atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

I’ve been coming here over the summer and it always delivers. The cocktails are fabulous & the setting is divine. If you want a slice of a Mediterranean beach bar in Bournemouth then this is the place. With open air seating & a great music...

Lovely friendly place with amazing cocktails. Well worth a visit

Friendly bar staff .good cocktails.

Great gem of a place.Just wanted to mention,as it isn't listed,that I do a 60s DJ night there each Thursday 8 to 12 for the duration of summer,into Autumn. Feedback has been lovely to so if that's your bag as a visitor,pop on over Also...

chris is the best mixologist and also tim is really attentive. massively recommend this place! it’s the best

Ordered 8 Long Island Ice Teas for £9.95 each. All of them tasted of Coke with next to no alcohol in them. Never felt do ripped off. We all left immediately.

Mixologist Chris was amazing Serving us, as was Tim! Such a brilliant experience and I would NOT recommend a Better bar to drink at! Perfect atmosphere and amazing outside area with music to remind you of the better days, feels like I’m on holiday from...

Amazing spot, great drinks and excellent service - staff super friendly, wonderful atmosphere! Live music daily, what a bonus!

So I thought smoking was illegal inside, it was a horrible reminder of what it used to be like when people could smoke a few feet away from you. It’s got a roof and a door on the building, surely that’s classed as inside. For...

Great atmosphere and good drinks selection 👌 x

Fantastic cocktails, a really nice bar with friendly, quick and attentive vaiters.

Top place for drinks and the staff are amazing. Beautiful cocktails and a great selection of spirits The service was great and Tim and Marleigh were brilliant!!

Honestly, best pina colada I’ve ever had! Outstanding! Lovely bar, staff extremely friendly and welcoming

Such a great bar we randomly bumped into, Tim and Marliegh really looked after us and made our night, we had to come back the next day as their cocktails were amazing, stronger would recommend this bar.

Gorgeous garden bar, delicious cocktails and great atmosphere but on top of this the staff are amazing! I’ve never had a more natural friendly service in any other bar. Tim was so hospitable and welcoming along side Marleigh and her absolutely amazing cocktails!!! Highly recommend this bar to everyone visiting Bournemouth! #TimsTours. !!!!

Really nice atmosphere and it's only Wednesday night! Really nice and professional staff... Great selection of drinks and cocktails

Fantastic atmosphere, polite and curtious staff

What a great little bar - music - great drinjs - cocktails to die for - incredibly friendly service - decent prices. If you visit Bournemouth you need to make this top of your list to visit!

Great atmosphere, great music. A classy establishment. Will be back soon

Had a really nice time very welcomed will be telling all my friends and family about this place highly recommended 👌

Nice place table service wasn't that great though I ended going to the bar myself nice place though

Amazing cocktails and service from Tim. Made our hen weekend. Made us all feel so welcome. Without him we would not of enjoyed the night as much as we did. Thank you Tim

Tim the manager there was an absolute diamond made us feel very welcome and made sure we were all looked after. Spilled my drink because of a wonky table and even though he wasn’t supposed to got me a new drink straight away. WHAT A...

Had a fab sunny Saturday afternoon sipping cocktails. The roof was wound back, sun was shining and we had great music. The staff were very attentive and chatty. We were made to feel very welcome and will definitely be returning.

Thankyou to you and despite his parking ticket taylor went above and beyond for us x lovely place, we visited in day time and deserving of a bigger crowd , however it looks full of people right now x

One of the best bars I have come across in forever. Superb service from everyone, the door person was really attentive too and remembered us when we returned after a gig. Great atmosphere and will return and reccomend to all that visit Bournemouth.

Went in as recommended by friend, and enjoyed it good cocktails, chill place l, defiantly be back :)

If you smoke you’ll love it. You can basically smoke indoors. How they get away with it is beyond me. They have a canopy they can open “on request”. Doesn’t do much for the air quality even when open, you can’t breathe in there for smokers. Avoid if you’re Asthmatic or like clean air.

I liked it. Weird layout. But nice atmosphere.

Very nice friendly staff and owner. Happy hour until 8 with great cocktails. Decor was lovely and the place was lovely and warm with overhead heaters. Music was provided by a sole male singer with guitar and was very good. Overall a very pleasant experience.

Great cocktails, lovely people, can't stop coming back! We've been here a few times as a couple since it opened, the table booking deposit covers the first few drinks, which is great, and the staff are always very welcoming and helpful. The drinks are also fantastic, I myself can't stop drinking the Cosmos or Brambles which are some of the best I've had in Bournemouth, and comparable in price to many other places nearby. It's also not too busy when we go (between 4-6pm) but seems to get busier after that. They also have heaters nearby the booths that are great at keeping you warm, and the roof retracts, so on cold winter evenings you stay nice and cosy! Definitely recommend a visit!

Really cool bar! Great staff! Spiced rum and Zombie cocktail to die for ... Next time I visit Bournemouth, this is my watering hole!

Absolutely appauling service. Stinking attitude on door staff, wouldn't let us in saying there were no tables when we could clearly see they were empty from outside. Came all the way from other side of country. Would not grace them with our presence again. Keep your money and your dignity. Go somewhere else. In response to your reply your door staff need to speak to people polietly and explain this then or have clear signs explaining that you do not accept walk in's at your "exclusive bar." Looks like it's just for locals guys so any tourists reading this save your self the embarrasment of being turned away.

Popped into Eden to watch Carley Varley perform on Friday. She was amazing. Got the crowd going! Shown to our table by a lovely waitress. Amazing cocktails and staff on hand to take our drinks order when required. Premium prices but worth it. Really great...

A group of us went to Eden after setting the bar low after seeing the cocktail menu in xoxo. After going in and sitting on astroturf and admiring the incredible offer of 8pm to 8pm drink deals we ordered some classic cocktail. The Old-fashioned was...

Decent spot. Great service and staff were very interactive with us. Little pricey, but I think thats just me being a northerner in a South coast bar. 👌

Just popped in whilst passing, a bit of confusion as to where we could sit because although at the the time we went in it was quiet, a large pre booked party was expected. A very polite and very apologetic member of staff asked if...

Excellent establishment. Wide selection of gins and music is brilliant. Employee Tim was fantastic. Highly recommended.

5**** great place Great place Great place Dunno if you know but Great place Honestly it’s decent Yeah love it

Nice place but the drinks r just pure sugar with no booze. Rank. Sorry. Beer of probably OK but avoid cocktails if u like alcohol

Overall amazing experience. The bartenders were brilliant, both friendly and make a good cocktail 🍹! We’re on a short week visit to Bournemouth and are so glad we popped in and paid a visit. The atmosphere is good, heated booths, and a glowing bar. There’s...

What a brilliant night. Jordan was epic, staff were amazing and looked after us so well. We had a lots of fun. Visit and make sure you have a good night!

Great cocktails, pricey but had generous measures in them, (we thought.)

Loved my cocktail pleasant outside area

Great place, great vibe, great staff, great drinks

We had noticed Eden on a visit to Bournemouth in October 2020, but never got the chance to go in. We are back in Bournemouth for one night this weekend so we went in for a drink on Saturday afternoon. We got speaking to Chris...
