Few in for a Tuesday afternoon. Barmaid telling about the number of customers who have told her they love her. And its only 4 pm. The customers didn't seem that drunk either. High on the rock music!

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