This was a perfect find on a recent family break in Swanage. In our first night we found all the local pubs to be fully booked and this popped up on the search. Everyone loved the pizzas - nice and fresh and can choose your toppings. The bar is nice and relaxed and the pool table was popular with the teenagers.

We went to a paella and sangria event. There was live music that was fab! The paella wasn't great. We also had pizza 🍕 that was really good 👍😊

What a hidden gem! After an afternoon on Studland beach we Googled local places offering pizza take-out and Old Harry Bar was just a stone's throw from the beach en route back to our campsite. Located inside the village hall it's a lovely, modern social hall and bar who just happen to have their own pizza oven and make a selection of pizzas while you wait. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the pizzas were divine - tasty and filling. What a lovely way to end the day; pizza in hand and campfire aglow. Highly recommended.

Great little bar. Perfect to visit after a walk, cycle or paddle in Studland. I'd choose it over the Banks Arms hands down. 2 beers and a pizza for £15!!!
