Welcomed by a live band on my first visit to this quaint and highly restored backstreet Victorian gem of a pub. Full of appreciative customers. Got served straight away by cheerful barmaid.

|---|---|---|---|
| Parkway (formerly Glastonbury Ales) - Pirate's Pet | 4.50 | | Only sampled a half but could have kept on with it as very moreish, this chestnut beer. Superb head, too. I think the best beer of my day! |
| Parkway (formerly Glastonbury Ales) - Cheeky Monkey | 4.00 | | Very healthy look to it and tasted just great, this golden ale. |

Spotted 4 ales on and a big crowd eating steak. Pub has been done up and looks good. The Norweign Blue was good according to my fellow drinkers.

| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - ÜberHop | 5.20 | | Far too flat and lacking flavour. |

Mike the landlord was behind the bar of the Albion opposite having taken over as temp Management. One beer on here, Four Candles ale at £3.60 a pint. 40p more than his own pub.

Evening. First visit here. For me the bright airy bistro style seemed out of place in this area of town. Couple of other customers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caledonian - Old Seadog IPA | 5.20 | | The barmaid pulled some through into a jug then served mine. Still too warm and pretty awful beer. If this is IPA style then I am a chinaman (ah so!). I could detect no bitterness so Caledonian please stick to your malty mixes but leave the epithet IPA to others |

Myself and a friend were trying to find some live music on a Sunday afternoon and this was our last resort. Haven't been here in years and its completely different inside. Part pub and part trendy wine bar, but it works I really liked it.
