📍 1.5 miles from Vitality Stadium
In Bournemouth town centre, The George Tapps is set up for matchdays: it promotes live sport with Sky Sports and TNT Sports on HD/big screens, making it a dependable spot to catch early kick-offs or the late game. It's also highlighted in Football Ground Guide as an away-fan option for fixtures at the Vitality Stadium. Practicalities are good for travelling supporters—CAMRA's listing notes it's close to bus routes and Bournemouth railway station—so it works as a meet-up before heading to the ground or for post-match pints. Food is served from morning until late, which helps groups fuel up pre-game or grab something after full-time.
On my first visit to this pub I was immediately felt welcomed. The place has a cosy the staff were really friendly and the food I ordered was delivered very quickly to my table. The food itself was very nice so nice that I came back 3 days in a row. The prices of are not too expensive and you're a good portion on your plate. How to visit Bournemouth again soon I'll definitely be visiting the George tapps again! Highly recommended 👍
Atmosphere is amazing! Greg as the karaoke dj is phenomenal! Going to the bar and being served by Allicia all night I felt safe, happy and comfortable! Always knew what my order was, amazing at suggestions and alternatives 💖 good banter and great fun! Toilets ran out of loo roll and she ran straight to my need!
Visited over the weekend,! Absolutely amazing service from the bartender with the dark hair and tattoos! She had such a welcoming personality and made everyone feel comfortable and valued. Even while staying incredibly busy, she was fast, attentive, and never missed a beat. What really stood out was her ability to connect personally with customers while still providing efficient, top-tier service. She brought such a great energy to the atmosphere and made the entire experience even better. Easily a 5-star experience I’ll definitely be coming back!
Very big pub, lots of seating areas, showing football and other sports. Had a pool table too. Pour a decent pint and staff are friendly.
Must say. This is a great pub. Allicia and liz are just phenomenal. Always chatty. Always helpful. Plus the food was so nice. The burger I had was awesome and just in general a very nice and friendly pub.
