| Dark Star - American Pale Ale (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 4.70 | | Quality ale with loads of flavour but at £1.90 a half expensive. But the bar is open till 2am and there were lots of tourists inside and out so there is obviously a market for this type of pub. |

The pub is found in Margate, Kent, CT9 1ER.
In Market Street, a small pub, former wine bar, opened in May 2010 specialising in real ale and cider. When it opened this was a contrast to the seafront pubs, there is no pool table, juke box, or gaming machines, and the cash register worked in pounds, shillings, and pence. Initially and for some years cask ales and real ciders were served on gravity dispense from casks stacked on stillage in the middle of the room. In 2016 a corner bar counter, with 6 handpumps and 10 massive imposing black keg fonts, was installed instead which also somewhat opened up the floor space. Boxed ciders / perries remain stacked at the end of the bar. A large wooden table and a large trestle table provide the focus for the seated areas.
We have visited this pub 41 times, seen 90 different beers and tried 50 of them.
