Friendly welcome and just a few folk in the front bar so we took over the empty back room and endured the unnecessary and loud music for our stay.

Late afternoon after work. Few in around the bar. As we left, a musician was setting up for a set. There were 4 beers on, but can't remember what they all were.

Late afternoon following the closure of the first session of the nearby Kent BF. Time for a swift one before my bus - well it would be rude not to. Bustling and friendly as ever.

The pub is found in Herne Bay, Kent, CT6 5AD.

Micropub style pub opened in former Mac's Music Store in High Street (eastern end), its name is derived from the proprietor's surname. Opened Friday 29th July 2016. Low tables and chairs at the front with a corner bar counter. Cask ales and ciders are served on gravity dispense from a small temperature controlled cellar room behind the bar. The stillage is on 2 tiers, each holding 4 casks. There is further seating down one step towards the rear and at the very back is storage for a rump musical instruments sales business which remains on the premises from its Mac's days. There is a small stage with piano by the front window.
