Lost

A temple-themed nightclub and cocktail bar tucked above Commercial Road, near The Square, open late Thursday to Saturday.

Lost occupies the first floor of a building on Commercial Road, a short stroll from The Square in the heart of central Bournemouth. Built around an “exotic lands and ancient temples” theme, it trades the usual pub trappings for dark, atmospheric lighting, cream-upholstered VIP booths and a dance floor aimed squarely at a late-night crowd rather than an early-evening pint stop.

The venue

Inside, the temple styling runs through the decor, with moody lighting and booth seating built for groups settling in for the night. The club has a history in Bournemouth’s nightlife scene under the Lost name, having previously run a venue elsewhere in the town before that closed in late 2021; this Commercial Road site represents the brand’s return with the same theatrical, temple-inspired identity. DJs are a core part of the format, with sets that have included classic drum and bass on top of the club’s own tropical, multi-sensory branding.

Drinks and food

The offering here is drinks-led rather than kitchen-led: signature tropical cocktails are the centrepiece, backed by a 2-4-1 cocktail promotion. There’s no indication of a food menu, so this is a venue for a night out built around the bar rather than a meal. Groups after more than a standing spot at the bar can book VVIP tables, and the club also runs cocktail masterclasses and a birthday club membership scheme for regulars marking an occasion.

Where it is

Commercial Road puts Lost right in the central Bournemouth mix, close to The Square and within easy reach of the town’s other late-night bars, so it works well as one stop on a wider night out rather than an isolated destination. It’s a walkable, central-area location rather than one you’d need to drive to, in line with the rest of this stretch of town.

Good to know

Lost’s own hours are Monday and Thursday from 10pm to 3am, and Friday and Saturday from 8pm to 3am, with no listed hours the rest of the week - given nightlife venues can shift schedules around events and seasons, it’s worth checking their website or calling ahead of a visit. The venue also takes bookings for private and corporate events beyond its regular club nights, so it’s used for more than just weekend sessions. As with most late-night clubs, this is squarely an adults-only, evening-and-night venue rather than a daytime or family stop.
