After spending most of the afternoon/evening in Ramsgate I was summoned to come here as a friend was singing. Probably should have opted for bed instead. Only stayed for one, had a drunken chat with the landlord and my friends before staggering off home.

Belhaven - Caledonian Deuchars IPA3.80AcceptableSlightly chemically but only very subtle. Light, hoppy and refreshing other than that.

Here for an acoustic open mic night as advertised in the local paper, only problem was the pub knew nothing about it, oh well. Extraordinarily attractive pub and very busy for a monday as well. I'd love to come here more often, the beer just isn't up to scratch unfortunately.

Belhaven - Caledonian Deuchars IPA3.80AcceptablePale, slightly malty and creamy with a hint of chemicals. Not on great form.

Popped down to see who was playing. Band sounded quite good but unfortunately it was so busy I left after one.

Despite standing in the middle of town I decided to keep nipping back to the Frigate as the Deuchar's was on great form. Packed to the rafters, band was playing. Top notch atmosphere.

Now this is how you sepnd St Patricks day. Old fashioned pub, beer and an irish band playing classic Irish folk songs. I had a great time, a fantastic atmosphere. I may have to start coming down for their Celtic nights.
