Mid evening visit, I remain always impressed by the beer care here. The live rock gig was improved by my left ear being muted with a finger (mine).

Mid evening visit during a music gig break. I have found this place famed for consistently excellent beer and worthy of a Good Beer Guide entry anytime.

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 188 times, seen 57 different beers and tried 41 of them.
