We were hoping to fins a busy pub with a good live band. Instead we found an empty pub with a dejected band packing away their gear. Friday's aren't good to this place apparently.

|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Left Coast Conspiracy | 5.50 | | This wasn't up to scratch really. Quite flat and tired. |

Here to see the band 'Melonheadman'. We were 3 out of the 6 total customers in, felt a bit sorry for the band. Still a good night though and the beer was in really good condition.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 3 | 5.00 | | Perfect pint of 3. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - 80/- | 4.60 | | This is a great beer. Really malty and sweet with a sort of toffee vibe going on. |

Just dropped in for a swift one before heading over to Broadstairs. Pretty quiet for a friday night but then it was the first weekend of the new year.

Braved the extreme weather and found myself in here early on a Thursday night. Surprisingly busy considering how evil it was outside. Had a couple before moving on whilst there was a break in the rain.

Last stop before heading over to Broadstairs for a bit of life. There was a band playing that seemed to be going down well. I find this place growing on me.

Since Thorley's has struck a new deal with Gadds' it means you can get a decent pint of ale in any of his pubs. Fantastic news considering how many there are in Thanet. First time I've been here in years, hasn't changed much and still had mostly the same songs playing.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 5 | 4.40 | | Quite sweet and very malty. Good bitter. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 3 | 5.00 | | Surprisingly good pint of 3. Light and hoppy, almost too drinkable. |

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