Ales Of The Unexpected in Thanet

Great beers and cider. Supercool atmosphere.

Great beer, friendly punters, can’t ask for more. I gave the food 5 stars even though I didn’t have any. The crisps did look tasty though.

Not a nice place, male owner is very rude. So many better places to go

Good staff and friendly patrons . Good beer.

Interesting range of beers and ciders. Great prices and it's just a friendly, no fuss place to go for a few beers :)

Very good customer service and the drinks were excellent

Absolutely amazing place. Lovely atmosphere, friendly people and a great selection of beverages!

Lovely micro pub, very friendly staff and great prices as well £3.80 a pint of beer or cider, will definitely be back again 👍

Great local pub. Very welcoming.

Great little place. Super friendly staff and customers, and very dog friendly! I’ll be back!

Didn't eat. Great little bar just outside Margate town about 10 to 15 min walk. Local ales, gin etc. Independent like a lot of the local bars in the town.

Great find loved the theme, great atmosphere great beer, worth the short walk from the beach front

Good selection of beers. Friendly staff anx a great atmosphere.

Love this little place. My first visit with my good friends Andrew and Amanda. I had a beer in there - Shivering Sands? I thought it was called Shimmering Sands. Whatever the name, it was awesome!

Wonderful little pub with the most amazing staff. We visit here everytime we are in Margate We would recommend this pub to anyone visiting the area

Wonderful micro pub. Great staff and very knowledgeable on the varied beers they sell

What a mint place came here from Manchester, listened to some banging tunes, had a lovely chat with Craig and Nicole, can't wait to come back! See you soon guys xxxx

Great beer , great host , excellent entertainment

Another real ale pub definitely would be worth a visit.

Nice little micropub, a small range of ales and ciders, which get changed regularly. Friendly, helpful staff and a cozy atmosphere.

Nice beer but fairly empty and therefore no atmosphere when I visited. In a fairly grotty area full of take away food outlets.

Great atmosphere, lovely to our two pooches and tasty Wonky Donkey - very happy 😊

Friendly, relaxed pub with amazing decor and wide selection of beers and wine at a great price. Really happy to call this my local!

Very Friendly pub, locals are welcoming, really good prices, loads of seating. Highly recommend

Customer service excellent and plenty of different ales and gins

Great little pub, lovely people and good atmosphere

Proper old school micropub. Long and narrow with the far end (closest to the bar) decorated with countless pumpclips this is a terrific homely boozer. Only a couple of casks on, on the Tuesday night of my visit but the J J Cale and electric blues was a great accompaniment.

Great micropub. Good and reasonably priced beer. Interesting array of customers. Dog friendly.

What a fantastic bar. Great beer. And a very knowledgeable landlord. Love this place xxx

Excellent range of drinks and friendly staff. This place has a cosy atmosphere that makes all feel welcome

Top micropub run by a great couple of guys. Beer is first class.

Lovely pub, super friendly and cosy, lots of locals laughing

Good beer but a bit dark and gloomy. Pleasant but uninspiring

Great place. My only criticism is that the wine gives you a headache! But that might be due to quantity consumed 😄

Lots of character and good beer, friendly owner and nicely decorated with maps, beer mats and more.

Such a nice relaxing friendly place, definitely the best micro pub in thanet, offering amazing Ales and beverages. Highly recommended

Quaint little bar... Lots of different folks... Quite cookie..But a great experience.. Would definitely ®McGuigan List..

Visited the pub over a couple of days, lovely place good ales and friendly service, owners were excellent hosts and the range of products is good, over all can't wait to visit in future stays in margate

Always a warm welcome and an ever changing selection of ales.

Woah I didn't expect this when I decided to sit down and have a rest at your Mirco Pub. I was expecting copper pipes and people with white coats ,but I was Blown Away. As I walked into the door that was it I felt at home. Every thing that has made me happy in my 60 years .There was a good atmosphere as I hobbled into the next room and there was plenty of music and I felt like a wee boy in a sweet shop . I thought Rhubarb cider and a glass water would be ok. Nicola said that she would bring it outside the smile on her face, brought a tear to these old eyes. It was just nice to take in the people who felt safe and looked after . When I went into to take my glasses back , I was overwhelmed with love and thanks. It is such a wonderful feeling to interact with like minded people. Cheers J and N . I will be back .

Nice micropub, with a lot of space inside, looks like its just reopening and 'dusting down the cobwebs' with a gradual restart. We visited early on a Wednesday evening so perhaps not representative of the new normal. Seating inside and out, nice old maps in the walls, dry hops hanging. We will definitely go back in a few weeks when its properly up and running

Friendly and relaxed environment in which you can enjoy a range of quality craft beers.

Fantastic great beers great people

Great micro pub,lovely atmosphere with good ale ciders and other assortment of drinks, friendly locals and owner goes above and beyond to make you welcome. Paul and Gilly

Quirky micropub cask ales wines and spirits available plus a few bottles in fridge very friendly bar man worth a visit if you are in the area

Always good beer and dog friendly

Lovely place good atmosphere :)

Cosy micro pub/brewery with live music.

Lovely friendly pub with nice selection of ales. Good cosy place to chill out for a bit.

Lovely cosy little micropub. Very inviting and friendly

Great ales, and ciders. Very attentive and friendly staff. This is our first visit, but definitely not our last.

Smallish range of beers but beautifully condition.

Absolutely splendid. Lovely young man with good beer and local knowledge kept us all entertained throughout. Thanks for your hospitality young sir a credit to the industry. Mark Dover

A wonderful little ale and cider establishment and of course they also serve various other rather nice drinks. They also have very good theme nights often with good music. The customers are always friendly and chatty so a place I would definitely recommend.

Nice ale house..good atmosphere

Always a pleasure to visit here

We love this place very friendly staff and customers

Nice evening perfect end awesome

Marvellous beer and good company. Also great music this afternoon.

Lovely atmosphere, great service, good selection of ales and ciders and low prices :)

Great little place, run by friendly people with a good range of beers and drinks. Always happy to pop in for a pint or two.

Great ales cider wine and spirits

Searching for fishmongers and this pops up? Why? In fact why does it Pop up in all searches in the area.. pays your money, top of the Google tree.

Nice little micro brewery with excellent cask ale.

A great micropub - fairly large in comparison to many but this does not distract from the friendliness. A nice decor of old maps and beer mats around the walls. And of course a selection of great beers and ciders

A lovely quirky little micro pub

Very nice micro pub good atmosphere and very friendly

Great beer's in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

Nice place, good bunch drinking there, very relaxed,

Great atmosphere and great Ales!!

Top micropubs with superb beer and friendly customers

Great pub, good beers and very friendy. A pleasure to sit and mull over the maps on the wall. Well worth popping into a new beer almost every time.

A lovely local place with great ale and cider.

Excellent micro pub. Beer served perfectly, friendly and welcoming.

Amazing Ales in this pub. Recommended

Great pub, great ale, great staff, great music.

Friendly staff cheap prices good beer, what more could you want?

Lovely atmosphere, friendly, with a good selection of real ales, ciders and gins! You can get fish and chips from next door and eat it in the ales.. Top night!

Brilliant place but small. Great for a couple mates but not large groups. Ale is fantastic, and fresh! Plenty of life in it so you know they turn it around well :)

There's a nice atmosphere here, but it looks closed from the outside so not welcoming. It was cold too last time we were there, the stove wasn't lit so we didn't stay long. However, my partner loves the beer and I like the gin. Just get the lighting and heating right. Needs a woman's touch!

Awesome, friendly and most importantly great beer,,,, cheers!

Brilliant little conversion into a pub with maps on the walls. A few well-kept ales and ciders at incredibly reasonable prices. Cash only, and I guess I would only have wished for a bit more description about the beers aside from "it's this colour" pointing to a little jar poured out as a sample. Otherwise spot on little quiet place to hang.

friendly locals in a friendly local - great beers

Good beer, fair prices, nice people.

One of Margate's lovely ale houses and micro pubs. This one has good beer and a warm welcome.
