Busy, full of the sort of people I try my best to avoid. Unfortuantely when in Margate there's not really much choice.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nelson - Nelson's IPA | 4.80 | | Tastes a little chemically, not a particularly pleasant experience. This pub isn't known for keeping beer very well though. The second went down a little better though. |
| Shepherd Neame - Master Brew Bitter | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Eagle (formerly Wells & Young's, formerly Charles Wells, formerly Wells) - Courage Best Bitter (use Marston's entry now please) | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Shepherd Neame - Spitfire (or Spitfire Amber Ale) | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Eagle (formerly Wells & Young's, formerly Charles Wells, formerly Wells) - Wells Bombardier (now superseded by 4.1% version) | 4.30 | Not Tried | |

The pub is found in Margate, Kent, CT9 1XJ.
Typical Wetherspoon's, on the sea front, although at one time was a Lloyds No.1 Bar at the weekend thus got pretty busy and had music playing loudly at the weekend. Since early 2013 the formerly dance floor partitioned off area for weekend music has been converted to carpeted bar seating to make this Wetherspoon traditional through and through. 10 handpumps in 2 banks of 5.
We have visited this pub 101 times, seen 158 different beers and tried 90 of them.
