Visits Details

31 May 2013 (beery steve)
My second visit to this Thanet's newest micro pub, my first being on opening night when the plumber was still working to get the sink in. The pub is housed in two small former fishermen's workshops that have be knock into one. The beers are housed in a cool room at the back of the pub. The pub has no toilet patrons using public toilets next door. Three beers were on offer. Landlady stated that they had a super opening weekend, with them running low on beer.

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 71 times, seen 109 different beers and tried 71 of them.
