A fair number of hardy souls had braved the cold weather to come here. The former Harbour Arms next door has opened as a Fine Wine and Cheese establishment.

Evening. First visit to the new larger Harbour Arms. We sat outside to take in the breeze and watch the mainland lights opposite and try to pick out which were those of Two Halves Micropub. The Guv was wearing a mohican tonight.

The pub is found in Margate, Kent, CT9 1AP.

Micropub initially housed in two former fishermen's workshops and nets / lobster pots store (Units 7 & 8) about two thirds along on the town's stone pier, opened over Whitsun Bank Holiday Weekend 2013. Seating was a mixture of 3 high tables with high stools and some normal height tables and chairs. An attractive high back settle was constructed against one wall. Electric piano usually covered up. Casks of real ale and cider boxes were housed in a cooled room in the corner and visible through a viewing window. Walls were raw brick some of which were painted in a sea green and supporting metal girders are visible. No toilets inside the pub so use the public ones next door. Outside seating allows a picturesque view of the harbour and the sandy beached bay. In May 2015 it moved into the larger neighbouring unit (Unit 9). Most of the former unit's interior fittings and fixtures have moved into the new unit which now houses a larger cool cellar room at the side.

We have visited this pub 69 times, seen 106 different beers and tried 67 of them.
