1700 visit. Rammo' on the beach today and a fair lot of, mainly diners in here. Standing room only with my soft drink (£1.80 small glass!)...There's something seriously wrong with this pricing policy for non imbibers!

Poorly behaved punters using bad language. More control needed from the staff.

Evening. Apparent invisibility on a busy bar making no attempt to serve customers in order. Turned tail after 6 minutes.

The pub is found in Margate, Kent, CT9 1XJ.
Typical Wetherspoon's, on the sea front, although at one time was a Lloyds No.1 Bar at the weekend thus got pretty busy and had music playing loudly at the weekend. Since early 2013 the formerly dance floor partitioned off area for weekend music has been converted to carpeted bar seating to make this Wetherspoon traditional through and through. 10 handpumps in 2 banks of 5.
We have visited this pub 99 times, seen 153 different beers and tried 88 of them.
