| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 3 | 5.00 | | First pint on way out, second new barrel but cold and a bit lacking on flavour. Hope this isn't to do with pub being done up. Pub is doing lots of new beers .not cask. |

Pub no. 5. Never been here before, although I'd been past it many times and seen it had Gadds on. Nice pub and not too busy. We sat at the back.

Walked back to ramsgit when I got a message Black Pearl was on. All beer prices up to £3.95. Pub redecoration almost complete. It looks amazing and in total contrast to what it was like.

Big crowd in on cold afternoon. 3 gadds on, still at an attractive £3.75 a pint. Thorley have big plans for this pub when the refurb has finished. I'm not sure I will like it!

The pub is found in Ramsgate, Kent, CT11 8NN.
Busy corner pub right in the centre of town in King Street. Attracts a mostly alternative crowd and there will often be heavy rock music on the jukebox. Several large TV screens for sport enthusiasts. There is a raised area to the rear. 3 handpumps on the lower bar counter. Deservedly awarded a CAMRA Good Beer Guide entry for 2021.
We have visited this pub 192 times, seen 58 different beers and tried 41 of them.
