Lost is a late-night cocktail bar with a tropical theme, found on Commercial Road in the middle of Bournemouth town centre. The pitch is escape from the everyday: a multi-sensory room styled after exotic lands and ancient temples, designed for a full night out rather than a quiet pint.
Cocktails and the room
At the centre of the offer is the "Escapism" cocktail collection, a list of signature tropical drinks backed by a separate 2-4-1 cocktails menu, poured to a soundtrack from resident DJs under themed lighting. This is a late and lively venue, not somewhere for an early-evening drink; the room fills and the energy rises as the night wears on, most of all around the weekly Ladies Night and other themed evenings.
VIP tables, private hire and events
Beyond walk-in service at the bar, Lost sells VIP and VVIP table packages, runs an Elite Card membership scheme and a birthday club, and hosts bookable cocktail masterclasses. The whole venue can be hired privately for birthdays, celebrations, product launches and corporate events, and there are seasonal takeovers at Halloween, Christmas and New Year's Eve.
Before you go
Hours are strictly late-night: 10pm to 3am on Monday and Thursday, 8pm to 3am on Friday and Saturday, and closed on the other nights. Since the bar revolves around events and guestlists, check the current hours, entry requirements and any ticketed nights with the venue first.
