Zephyr is a classic-rock bar on Christchurch Road in the Lansdowne area of Bournemouth — records on the walls, dimmed lighting, pool tables, a jukebox and reasonable drink prices, run by music lovers for music lovers. It hosts ZOM.B (Zephyr Open Mic Bournemouth), a twice-monthly open mic where all styles turn up but you can expect big guitar sets and a headlining act to warm the crowd up; there's a free beer for every performer. The venue also runs Comedy Noir, a free comedy night on the first Sunday of the month. Bournemouth's go-to rock bar for guitar-led nights.
