Second visit here and very impressed with beer and how this place has been done up. Good crowd in. 3 ales and lots of key keg on. Came back for second visit later as the selection of beer here was better than Magnet, 39 steps and Chapel...and cheaper at £3.20 a pint.

Evening visit until late, my colleague's and my first visit but there again it only opened yesterday. Upon entering initially blinded by the brightly lit bar back but that soon settled down. Very enthusiastic and friendly young owners. I think they admit it is still a bit of a work in progress with a need for noise baffling with lots of empty wall and cupboard space still. The vinyl disks played on the record player were not intrusive. The place engendered continuous conversation.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Boutilliers - Swim Until You Can't (KeyKeg)5.40GoodTasty saison with peppery overtones but I was belching within one swig, as overcarbonated
Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Seasider4.30AcceptableA bit of a hoppy zing
Time and Tide - All in Jim5.40AcceptableOn KeyKeg, OK but little if any head and overcarbonated as is KeyKeg's wont
Northdown - He-Bru4.80AcceptableVery citrus but flat as a pancake with little if any condition making it a chore
Wantsum - Black Prince3.90Not Tried

The pub is found in Broadstairs, Kent, CT10 2AD.

Yet another Thanet Micropub, in The Broadway just west of the railway station. Converted from an off licence called The Offy and opened on Saturday 3rd November 2018. Run by enthusiastic and friendly young family relatives. Real ales and ciders are sold on gravity dispense from a chilled cellar room and there are also 3 keg taps selling KeyKeg beers. Seating is at a mix of high and low tables. Very dog friendly and has a record player on which customers may play their own vinyl records. Pavement seating for use in good weather. Closed when tenancy ceased on intent to sell the building, in March 2021.

We have visited this pub 8 times, seen 13 different beers and tried 11 of them.
