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 196 times, seen 59 different beers and tried 42 of them.
