Celebrate the festive season in a cosy, chalet-style setting at the Alpine Lodge Bar: fully festive décor, steins, beer towers and mulled wine set the tone while booths upstairs look out across Bournemouth Christmas Market and Christmas Tree Wonderland. The operator stages regular entertainment—quizzes, karaoke, bingo and live acoustic music—yet guests are equally welcome to relax and take in the view.

THE SETTING

A cosy Alpine booth with market and tree views

The lodge is purposefully festive — decorated for Christmas and serving mulled wine, steins and beer towers — with upstairs booths that look across Bournemouth Christmas Market and Christmas Tree Wonderland.

THE ENTERTAINMENT

A week of scheduled festive nights

The Alpine Lodge runs structured entertainment across the week: a Christmas Quiz on Mondays (7pm, with booth bookings available at 6.30pm), Karaoke on Wednesdays (7pm), Christmas Bingo on Thursdays (7pm, booth bookings at 6.30pm) and live acoustic music on Sundays (from 5pm). Guests may participate or simply watch.

What the day feels like

What it feels like to spend an evening in the Alpine Lodge

You take a reserved booth upstairs in a warmly decorated lodge, sink into a communal celebration with steins, beer towers or mulled wine, and either join the scheduled entertainment — quiz, karaoke, bingo or live acoustic sets — or sit back and watch the market lights below. The whole experience is compact and theatrical: short sessions designed around the market’s nightly programme.
