Friendly club slightly out of town. Pool, darts, bingo, music, and other events. Good food, excellent selection of mainly local real ales that seem to be well kept.

It was our first time visiting the Swanage RBL and we were met by a friendly young lady who greeted us, explained where everything was and served our drinks. We were made welcome and enjoyed our time there and we will definitely be returning again. Thank you.
