Arch Bar in Thanet

Visited with my husband and brother and Ordered 2 prawn and one mules mariners and while the prawn dishes was very good and the kitchen kindly peeled them for us at our request the mussels were very overcooked and shrivelled! We paid for our food upfront so when our food arrived the waitress asked if all was okay. We informed her the prawns were very good but the mussels were overcooked and very shrivelled and we had tasted better! Her response after we heard her telling the kitchen that someone was complaining about the mussels was they can’t possibly be overcooked as they had used a temperature probe to cook them! They were clearly very shrivelled Her response was very rude and they refused to offer a solution! Who uses a temperature probe for cooking mussels? Did they test each one!! Needless to say we left with a bowl of unfinished mussels on the table and no tip left!! Very poor customer service, which was a shame as the rest of the meal was very good!!

A great accidental find. The portions were large, the staff very accommodating. I had a salmon and cream sarnie, well filled, could have had a little more lemon for my taste. A friend wanted a ploughman’s, they were happy to change the cheese for a large pot of pate, she also didn’t want celery,they swapped it for pickles. There was also a big bunch of grapes. The 3rd in our party had a chicken salad, the chicken was a little dry but the salad was lovely with a nice dressing on it. Will deffo go back again. They have outside seating as well as inside.

We had previously had coffee there with no complaints, we went back and ordered 3 Ploughman’s lunches, which were described as coming with crusty bread. Their interpretation of Crusty Bread is Toast !!! Ask anyone what a ploughman’s lunch is and they will say bread or crusty bread. Whilst there was nothing wrong with the quay of the food, calling it a ploughman’s is in my opinion false advertising. It’s like asking for a Guinness and getting served Brown Ale. As I said quality of food was fine, but if you order a ploughman’s lunch it’s because you want a ploughman’s lunch and that is your expectation. Please just rename it so you don’t mislead folks. There is a picture of their toast ploughman’s on there webpage

The full English is odd The eggs aren't nice at all they taste off. The sausages were greasy. The hot chocolate had a taint to it from an uncleaned machine.. The fact we paid 45 quid for it and 3 quarters had been left should tell you everything you need

Took a walk around the marina and stopped for coffee. Lovely atmosphere and nicely done out. Coffee and cake were great, staff ok but rushed, waited a fair time to be served, but the lady was cheerful when dealing with me. We will probably return….

Our first time in Ramsgate & will definitely come back. Toni was the highlight of our time there she's an absolute Gem! Made our day so amazing. Thanks for making us feel so welcome, perfect service & lovely little bar see u in summer.

Excellent Food, Good Size Portions. Great Service, Well Priced. As you are right on the quay there is wonderful views of the harbour. It was so hot on this visit, we sat outside under their marquee. Highly recommend this lovely little cafe bar

Great service, lovely breakfast. Good piping hot. Staff friendly. Bar inside looked good too. Might have to pop back in the evening for a cheeky cocktail. Definitely recommend breakfast there

Lovey, slightly hidden away bar. Very atmospheric. We visited on Friday 14th for a late lunch. The lady who served us was very friendly & helpful. We had a brie & bacon panini which was very good & full of brie. Also a ploughmans that had lovely ham. Little biscuits came with the hot drinks . Would highly recommend as food was good. Reasonably priced, lovely staff & great music.

Just had to say what an amazing breakfast we had here! Lovely full English at a great price! Good attentive staff in a lovely location. Definitely return when next in town

Fantastic find!! Located by Ramsgate Harbour check out the seafood, meat and cheese platters plus drinks range great atmosphere

We had a ploughman's lunch (inc. loads of cheese & ham) and a lovely big bowl of feta salad. All superb and friendly staff.

Requested a special spread for a family occasion outside the normal menu Miles went out of the way to provide a unique and fabulous spread. Everything, including the wine choices was top class but at a price that should have been at least double, If you want something special, talk to mine host, give him advance warning of a couple of weeks and you will have a memorable evening.

Nice quirky setting, menu looked really good was looking forward to the fish / seafood platter, however when went to the bar to order as directed by staff we were told "erm I think we have stopped serving food, yeah we have" Felt like they had just decided at that moment they couldn't be bothered to serve us. Yes it was about 2.30pm but there were still people at other tables eating and all the food menus were still on all the tables. Won't be rushing back.

Went to the arch bar for a bite to eat and a drink the staff were really kind and nothing was never to much, the food was amazing and really good value for money would deffiently recommend!! ❤️

Dirty, tables not cleaned between guests, staff nowhere to be found but usually behind counter ignoring customers. On several occasions customers came in, looking confused as no front of house and walked out again. From a once nice cafe to one where nobody cares any more and obviously don't want customers. Every other harbour cafe was packed.

Totally awful as no drinks menu available bar the alcoholic one's and could do with a good clean down. Asked for a flat white and got a cappuccino, hot chocolate with a flake that came with a hair in it and as we are all dark haired and the one on the flake was blonde hmm! The only saving grace was they got latte right and the service was was okay. However it would have been nice to have sat down and been able to take a breath before being pounced on. All in all its our first and last visit

Walked in to the Arch bar and walked straight out again today! All the cafes were bustling outside and this one had free seats, and as we’ve had lots of nice cosy drink in here over the years we didn’t hesitate to go in. The tables were filthy and uncleared, and a waitress sitting doing a roll up told us to find a seat. They were filthy, uncleared and so uninviting that we turned round and walked back out. Such a shame as this place used to be good. Walked past a bit later and still no one eating or drinking there.

Had a fantastic night,great range of affordable cocktails, friendly attentive staff, socially distanced tables, blankets avaliable for when you get chilly. Will be our first choice of venue in a lovely setting for our next get together ❤️

Great service, great fresh food. Lovely place! Will defo come back again. Recommend the seafood platter x

Stopped by upon arriving in Ramsgate. Had a fish platter and couple of beers. Wonderful service, lovely food and some food tunes playing at the same time. Started off in the sunshine but turned into rain but that wasn’t a problem as the large umbrellas came out. Worth a visit particularly if you can get on the terrace

SHUT IT DOWN! Not needed in this town!!!! Fights ect shut it down before something more fatal erupts as it will. Shut the place down!

Firstly, online the place is described as a bar kitchen and lounge, it is nothing of the sort it is a scruffy cafe. We were already unsure when we turned up outside. However, we decided to go in as we had made a booking. When we went in the place was full of sofas not suitable for eating or the high end experience that we thought we would receive. Anyways turns out although we had phoned up and booked they didn’t have a table for us. They weren’t apologetic and all that was said was we will have to squeeze them in outside. Not sure on what the food is like as we decided to leave straight away.

Had some light lunch here on a Friday lunchtime. High quality meat platter and decent plate of four cheeses. Polite and friendly service. Decent coffees save my double espresso after lunch a bit too weak. Nice to sit outside with views over the harbour. Not expensive. Recommended.

Had the loveliest night here last weekend, don’t know Ramsgate yet but just bought a holiday home and I’m really enjoying finding little gems, Arch bar is definitely one of them. Cozy and cool, fantastic old school music, I even had a dance. A saxophonist arrived during the evening and played along with the dj. Owner is very friendly and it’s a real mixed crowd. Fab place, looking forward to going back and trying the food!

We stopped in after a lovely meal in the town. The girl serving us didn't know what an Old Fashioned cocktail was so her colleague was helping. They used water to help dissolve the sugar, and didn't have any orange bitters. They basically served sweetened watered down bourbon. When I said that they hadn't served an old fashioned the barman argued that he hadn't known they didnt have orange angustora bitters. He did put normal bitters after I complained but it was the worst old fashioned I've had. Don't bother with cocktails here if you like a proper drink from a good mixologist

We came here on New Years Day - & although I accept that they might have been a bit hungover - they really shouldn't have opened if the staff were going to be that that far off the ball! We placed / paid for an order of 2 coffees & 1 bacon sandwich & went outside to wait. We really loved the outdoor armchairs / blankets, but when, after 30 minutes, there was no sign of our order, I went inside to chase it up, only to be told that the order hadn't got to the kitchen!!! - Helloo!! they were only 10 foot apart & the girl who told me this was the person who had served me. We got our money back & went elsewhere - such a shame, as the concept is brilliant, but really needs better management.

The service we received was excellent, the food was wonderful & the atmosphere was amazing I was in a group of 10 everybody’s food & drinks were as ordered & hot.I can’t praise you ladies enough we will be back again & again very many thanks.

I’m amazed there are any good reviews of this establishment. I’ve only given it 1 star because of its attractive location. When we arrived for lunch the waitress cleared the table but failed to clean it at any point. There was litter and cigarette butts under the table so clearly no attention to cleaning whatsoever. My grandson ordered a toasted sandwich and it was only halfway through the meal that I noticed, when turning it over, that the underside was badly burned. I immediately returned it and said we didn’t have time to wait for another do asked for a pastry in compensation. Minuscule choice and the shortbread I chose tasted pretty much stale. They overcharged by £6 but we managed to recover this when we challenged them. Another two couples were complaining about various aspects of the service while we were there. In summary, overpriced poor food with bad service. There are so many more superior establishments in Ramsgate so beware of this one.

What a great little place. Small enough to be intimate and yet with a enough swagger to remind me I am not 50 ! Sit and watch the world go by with a glass of something nice. Thanks all enjoyed my couple of hours there last week.

Great service,lovely food, had a really good time, highly recommend,will be back soon, great view over the harbour

Looking at the menu, not massive choice but this is more of a bar than an eatery, however the food was good and the portion size was great, we had hummus, and sandwiches, masses of bread, cheese platter massive chunks, mushrooms on toast not quite on it instead in a big old bowl, next to it! Was lovely! Staff friendly the bar itself is massive! Will be going there for some drinks in the summer as I imagine the atmosphere will be great!

This is a lovely little bar in ramsgate, great atmosphere,lovely bar staff, It had sofas and blankets to relax outside very socialable great for a date night or catch up with the girls

Perfect delightful venue overlooking Ramsgate Harbour. Meat platter & cheese board is highly recommended.A full/ good wine list at average prices. Dog friendly... A major plus as we often go for beach walks & want a place to go for a bite to eat which are happy to accommodate our dogs.Beautiful alfresco dining with blankets to take away the chill of an evening. Rustic dining & bar area inside. Nice subtle music playing in the background. A perfect venue with first class service & staff who were more than happy to accommodate our needs. The Arch Bar is our new place to go for a delightful evening & pit stop on our walks.Thank you Arch Bar for making our evening blissful. You rank among the highest

In the arches by the Harbour. Friendly Atmosphere. Feel of a wine bar. Cosy, with sofas. Small bar with an upstairs and some outside space

I've visited Ramsgate previously but the first time we have walked to the arches and came across this bar. We didn't eat here but decided to stop for a drink on s Saturday evening. Inside there were plenty of comfy chairs. The owner was sat opposite and chatty and all the staff were really friendly. There is a massive choice of gins to try and various cocktails. Whilst we was sat there we were given s few snacks with cheese, pretzels etc on. A DJ also set up whilst we was sat there. What should have been just one drink we ended up staying for several hours as really enjoyed it there. We went on quite a cold day but in summer they have seats outside which would be nice looking over the harbour. Next time we visit Ramsgate we will definitely come back here.

After waiting for over twenty minutes at a neighboring place to be served we visited here on the rebound!

Out for walk in sunshine wanted Coffee as wind chilly . Inside very welcoming with comfy sofa to sink into ordered Coffee and Hot Chocolate both were excellent and very hot chocolate was lovely and thick and creamy and Coffee not too strong not sure about food but nice atmosphere

Access there are pay areas with in the harbour area with CCCTV so your car will be safe then a little walk to thr bar

Well came here again with partner and family member it was very quiet the 2 days we came down and meet miles the owner who was pleasant as normal and makes his guests very welcome. The staff are very helpful and very friendly we had rose gin and tonic and doubles as the price is so good, we had a cheese board and toasted tea cakes and jam very nice and the cheese board had a good selection of biscuits and cheese.

When you pay a certain price you expect a certain quality. On this occasion that was not provided. The fish was quite tasteless and dry and a tiny portion, I was expecting a fresh piece of fish for £6.50 and the £4.10 milkshake came in a 330ml glass.

We had a lunchtime meal here. We both had sandwiches. They were of good quality, tasted fine and we served quite quickly. It was reasonably busy but we were still served quite quickly.

The location is lovely, beers ok but we ordered a prawn sandwich which cost over £6, the bread was good but the prawns were small shrimps which had no flavour at all and had either been defrosted with water or in the microwave. The Rose Marie sauce also was quite mediocre. I only ate half the sandwich. The waiter asked how the food was and I told him and he immediately offered a replacement but I was so disappointed I said No thank you.

Only a 4 because I've only experienced lunch time here & the food was great, the couple of beers I tried were wonderful & the general atmosphere was friendly Convivial & down right chilled.

We have found that some local establishments can have a limited and quite basic wine list - but wine lovers don't despair take a visit to The Arch Cafe Bar in the arches of the royal harbour, Ramsgate. Very reasonable priced excellent wine list in a lovely setting. Very friendly helpful service. For those of you tea total - you have to try their Hot Chocolate Deluxe with all the bells and whistles. Delicious,

Great selection of beers and wines lunchtime food good value especially when you can enjoy it on the harbourside, young staff very helpful and attentive without being over the top allowing people to enjoy there food and drink at there own pace

Had really tasty lunch here on two occasions, the weather was lovely so made the Venue perfect. Service excellent, Lovely staff. Good Lunch Menu, Good Value.

What a great venue with great atmosphere and fun staff. My wife organised a 40th party for me here and everything was spot on! Where to start, the owner is such a great guy, he ensured everything was spot on from the start excluding the DJ played the right kind of music to buying in Doombar at the 11th hour as that is my tipple of choice. The staff were all polite, great fun and looked after the guests at all times. The venue itself is great, easily held the 70 odd guests without feeling crowded and at the same time didn't feel empty when just the hardcore drinkers were left in the early hours. The DJ had done his homework and everyone commented what a great job he did. The food was top class and really tasty, you could tell care and attention was used in the preparation. A fire pit was was a nice touch, great for the smokers and vapours, and added to an incredible night. Having been here on a few random nights out, this is also a very good bar throughout the day and night and would recommend anyone to pop in for a bite to eat and drink.

Had a pleasant meal here,visited again as seats are comfy,good selection of drinks,away from the rowdiness of the noisy pubs along the front.

We went last New Year’s Eve 2016 and had a brilliant night at the Arch bar. It was a great night fabulous buffet with hot and cold food including seafood delicious cheese and desserts. Brilliant DJ and disco.

We went here by chance as we were walking in the harbour looking at the Christmas lights and at night it didn't look open but my partner went and asked as we could see someone in there and was told it was open and a good choice we had different cakes and coffee and the cakes were lovely and the staff very friendly and very helpful, we did outside could do with a light or light up arrow to say it open sure their are losing customers. On the second night we had a meal and drinks and my partner tried out some of the different gins with over 40+ different ones, We would like to thank sam for a great service he offered and so helpful and very polite.

We stopped here for lunch on a cold November Sat. Our soup was homemade and the staff were very friendly and attentive. The owner made us very welcome chatting about the history of the area. Would recommend.

Walking through the harbour on a damp November afternoon, we found The Arch Bar. So we popped in for coffee and cake. We sat on the comfy sofas and ordered. The staff were really friendly and helpful. When the Coffee was serviced it was really hot and the Lemon and Poppy Seed cake was delicious. Well done :) We will definitely be going back.

Go there every week for coffee. Love the place. Really chilled out, great atmosphere, friendly staff. Brilliant coffee

I came here on a Sunday morning for a coffee and breakfast, I was very happy with the service and the quality of the produce. But here comes my woes, whom I assume the owner of this establishment seems to be a outdated bigot that has no people skills, I saw the friendly and lovely waitresses ordered around like Victorian slaves and this showed on the service. Staff seemed nervous and tense which made us feel a little uncomfortable.

Went in for breakfast, absolutely fabulous, I've never had a breakfast so nice, cooked to perfection and served beautifully, fantastic ambiance, all credit to the young chef who was modestly shy as he helped clear tables to, great working team, just wish we had found it not on our last day... also never been anywhere with such a well stocked bar... well done

Lovely place but had a loud mouth on a phone swearing etc,calling people son etc ,loved him self could have done with someone telling him to please respect others One other thing we asked for a jug of tap water and the glasses were carried out with fingers inside ,please no ,I didn't mak,e w fuss but I will be back to check and I will remark next time and you will be embarrassed.

We only wanted a small meal having indulged in a roast Sunday lunch and this place was recommended by our hotel for a light meal and suggested the meat platter a the cheese platter.Wine was served by the glass so a Pinot Noir for me and almost a french Sauv Blanc for my wife. I say almost because as we were ordering the drinks someone, who I think turned out to be the owner, said the Chilean version was good.Unfortunately not. For the next round we opted for the French and it was far superior. Maybe the Chilean had been open for some time.The cheese platter was excellent with 5 varieties but the meat platter was a little disappointing due to the lack of quantity. Quality was fine, but at £7.50 was not such good value.

Coffee.. check Cake.... check Amazing views... check A fairly simple formula but the arch bar has got it right. Nice simple menu served by friendly staff.

We called in for a drink and a snack whilst on a brief visit to Ramsgate. They appear to have an extensive drinks menu. The food ranges from snacks up to a full blown meal. The prices were a bit in the high side but I think that it being a more upmarket site with a good view of the boats in the harbour that is normal. One interesting thing was that originally before the road was built the water extended into the arches that are now shops and bars, boats were floated into the arches for repairs and worked on under cover.

Friends took us to this lovely harbour side cafe. They had already read the review mentioning the gentleman enjoying a deep sleep on the sofa. Would you believe it......he is still asleep! Despite this we enjoyed lovely coffee and good service but someone needs to be aware that we witness several potential customers walk away when they saw him. The owner needs to ask him to try another coffee shop!

A pleasant visit on a sunny day, and an interesting meal, but the food was a pit pricey for what it was.

Thoroughly recommend this lounge & kitchen - wish we'd found it sooner during our stay. Super friendly staff and service, good food and very well priced.

After a swift walk from Botany Bay I was happy to reach my destination - The Arch Bar, where I had a coffee and some pita bread with hummus to prepare me for the walk back. Friendly staff, swift service and a relaxing view! Thank you! I'll be back!

We stopped here for a drink after having a pleasant walk around the harbour on a sunny Friday morning. We sat outside as it was a lovely day and decided to have two coffees and a slice of cake (we had already had breakfast not long ago!) You have to order and pay for your food and drink at the bar inside, and your drinks, etc are then brought to your table. We didn't have to wait too long. The lemon polenta cake was tasty and the coffees were good. The menu had a variety of meals, and a lot of people were having a breakfast. From what we could see they did look very nice and popular! Outside seating is within a glass perimeter and not right on the road (no pavement as such as this is right next to the harbour). The glass adds a nice touch and stops the wind and the smell of the exhaust fumes from the cars that might pass by.The staff were pleasant and courteous, and the cafe was very welcoming.

We love this place always friendly, staff can't do enough for you, the food is great and the owner is great so alway lovely to have a chat.

Thoroughly disappointed with portion sizes. One of our party ordered a gluten-free cheese and tomato wrap. It literally had one slice of cheese across both halves of the wrap. It looked very sad and for £5.50 one would expect a whole lot more. Staff were friendly enough. The waiter even agreed that he'd expect more. We probably won't be back any time soon.

I have never had such an appalling meal, if you can call it that. If it had not been for the fact that we were with my elderly mother we would have sent the food back. Three of us ordered the "Prawn salad with brown bread and butter" relishing the idea of this, on the harbour front, on a beautiful sunny day. Expecting a fresh and appetising lunch we were presented with a bowl/plate with the surface covered with lettuce like the "fresh and crispy" bagged lettuce you find in the supermarket. There were no other salad items involved. Not a tomato or a piece of cucumber in sight or anything else. I had the sum total of 14 prawns, well shrimps really and one king prawn proudly laid in the centre, a less than flavoursome Marie Rose sauce and the highlight was the bread and butter which was a least fresh. All this for the princely sum of £9. Having said that the staff were lovely and very pleasant. The responsibility for the dreadful food should be that of the owner/manager. This was certainly not a salad and I would recommend anyone eating here should ask exactly what the components of their meal will be before parting with any money. Needless to say, we won't be troubling The Arches again.

The Arch bar is a very nice place with friendly staff. Although the rather large gentleman snoring very loudly & mumbling in his sleep on the sofa was rather off putting.

Stopped here for a quick coffee while out on our motorcycles. Fantastic location right on the quayside. Friendly staff, excellent coffee and a wonderful slice of cake!Comfortable whether inside or out. Will definitely be heading back over to this pleasant little bar.

We visited the Arch Bar last Saturday night. This is a compact bar built into one of the brick arches on the marina front at Ramsgate. Inside, the bar is comfortable with plenty of sofas to sit at, and there's a little Mezzanine floor to the rear which is extra cosy. The bar staff are friendly and efficient even when the bar is busy, and the premium beers are well priced for the location. When we visited, there was a DJ playing music in the bar, but this may have been as there was a party being held there that night. Altogether very pleasant.

Stopped at Arch Bar with a group of friends for a light lunch. The food was excellent, the staff were extremely friendly and the place had a great atmosphere.

Good food good music friendly staff dog friendly comfortable sofas the owner makes you feel so welcome . Very professionally run spotlessly clean toilets are immaculate I can't praise the arch bar up enough

Just stopped here for a light lunch. Really friendly service and reasonable prices. Scrambled egg, salmon and toast amazing. Mushrooms with Stilton and toast also amazing. Well worth a visit. Thank you

Great range of hot and cold drinks delivered with warm and friendly service. Will go back to try out the food next time we're in Ramsgate.

We have visited this bar on quite a few occasions but have never eaten here just had drinks. The location is right on the harbour (under the arches)and has seating indoor & outdoor. The price for drinks is quite pricey but the view is great.

A visit to Miles and the team is always a pleasure and the breakfast is the best in Quality and Value that you will find around the Harbour. Great selection of drinks and a lovely Red South African Wine.

We use this place for breakfast mainly - and evening cocktails.Cannot fault the evenings but best avoid for breakfast.Last time I went 5 tables left the eggs as they were under cooked. Much of the rest was burned.All this was obvious to kitchen but still they sent it out - why???Our experience was the same - no table check either - a real lack of care so we use somewhere else now.Streaky bacon may not be to all tastes either.There are better breakfasts about so I would avoid this one.

We stopped here for an evening meal with friends and had a wonderful meal really gorgeous food with wine and drinks the atmosphere was really good and the owners are wonderful really make you feel at home and very accommodating.

Have eaten here a few times now. The food is quite good but the service is usually very slow and they often seem to get orders either wrong or mixed up. But the owner is a very genial host, if slightly eccentric. It is situated in a nice position under the arches on the harbour wall and has good outside seating.

This was a great find when out in Ramsgate for lunch, dog welcome, kid welcome and the best sharing platter that we have every had!Very relaxed and would become a regular if we were local!

Great location but service painfully slow. Second visit to the Arch bar, this time on the Friday of the bank holiday weekend. One person serving drinks behind the bar whilst 3 younger men were working in the kitchen, one washing empties & one person wandering in & out clearing tables & bringing out food. The one person serving behind the bar was constantly being distracted by a man who appeared to be present in a formal capacity asking him questions about the bar which further delayed the service.

Away from the Main busy parts of Ramsgate, this bar was a great find & absolute little gem. Overlooking the Marina, we went here twice. Once for a lunch time beer & the following day for lunch and beer again as one does when one is away for a couple of days on a short breakWill definitely return. Lovely to sit here with a beer and watch the world go by

I went here twice - once for coffee and once for a drink. The views are brilliant and it stays in the for longer than the other restaurants under the arches.

Great location nice view good drinks did not eat here just had drinks food looked nice wishes we had the food. We will be back.

Beautiful location watching over the harbour and good hot or cold food at a very reasonable price, I'll be back again.

Had a nice experience here, nice food, service could have been quicker but they were busy, a good menu with a good choice of drinks, worth a visit

Because again of its location this is a wonderful place to visit with superb views over the marina. It became our number two spot in Ramsgate for drinks and breakfast. We had breakfast twice the full English one day which is huge and the next time we had the highly recommended smoked haddock and poached egg.The meals are cooked to order and you can easily find yourself spending all morning there as it is so popular and welcoming.The only down side is by choosing to eat outside there is no segregation from smokers. This is my bug bear.

A small menu with light bites, sandwiches, panini and wraps, but sadly didn't get to try them. Found a table outside to watch the world go by then went inside to order, three staff behind the bar, two looking vague and disinterested the other taking a customer food order but when it was my turn they weren't taking food orders as they were catering for a wedding.The non vague staff member did apologise and dealt with the drink order quickly, if it's good enough for a wedding it's good enough for us to try again I live in hope they have more than one member of staff on the ball next time.

Lovely little bar, fantastic location- chose this venue to celebrate my 40th birthday! We had asked for some nibbles for our guests ( in advance) and the food was absolutely outstanding! Beautifully presented and great quality! All our guests were very impressed and no one went home hungry! All the staff were very friendly and helpful, Would defiantly recommend this bar to anyone. We love it!

We had a milkshake, a coca cola , a coffee & a cider and the bill was nearly 15 pounds totally over priced for what you get, luckily didn't try the food! The coffee was tepid to say the least and had the look of dirty water! (cheap coffee) The milkshake was nice my daughter said but at the price it should be! The cider was good but at again at the price paid one would expect nothing less. Service is not ok. Would i go back again if I was in Ramsgate definitely NOT!

Located in the arches overlooking the Royal Harbour, the Arch Bar offered a calm and comforting atmosphere, and a very comforting stay. We had a few drinks, all of which came quickly and with a smile. We found it a great experience and were only sorry that we couldn't go again.

If you are looking for a place which welcomes the over forties and has a great selection of wine and beers, this place is a real find. I must admit that I haven't tried the food but it great for wine and the staff are really friendly. It has a cosy and friendly atmosphere and really sort 40 somethings. In the summer, you can enjoy sitting on the edge of the harbour watching the world go by and in the winter, the bar is stuffed with comfy leather sofas.

Overall looks pleasantly situated overlooking Ramsgate harbour. Order your food at the bar and wait to be served. So far so good.Food was pleasantly displayed, but tasted bland no flavour at all. I ordered the prawn salad and brown bread, there was very few frozen prawns, really awful. The prices are what you would pay in London, so my prawn salad cost me £8.50 and a small glass of white wine and a gin and tonic costs 10.50. Outrageuous, I paid the bill, but never again, I can't even complement the service sorry. Please don't waste your money, there are other nice venues along the harbour front, that serve better food at more realistic prices.

Just popped in to have a drink and a bite to eat, made to feel very welcome, simple menu but very tasty and inexpensive, service when leaving could improve

Had a really nice lunch with a friend, but really put off my the barman who seemed totally uninterested that we were there, asked us to pay for our meal up front (not sure why, other customers had the usual restaurant treatment) and never checked if we wanted more drinks (we did) so we left earlier than we planned. That said the waitress was fine, and the food was great, so I will prob try it again, and hope the barman was just having a rubbish day..

Visited here last week for lunch whilst visiting Ramsgate. We have been here before and it never disappoints! This time we enjoyed the meat platter, tune mayo on brown and a salami and cheese Panini...all really fabulous washed down with cold ginger beer, tonic and a coffee. Set overlooking the marina in an arch it is full of atmosphere with plenty of seating in and out and very friendly vibes. Glorious for a hot summer day to sit outside watching Ramsgate bloom into a great place to be. Love it! Thank you to Miles and his fabulous bar and staff.

Having previously enjoyed our visits I was very disappointed in the customer service 2 coffees and a slice of cake.. 30 mins later.. I had to complain before someone got their act together and made the order which turned out to be wrong and had to send back .. Nobody was making an effort to help as I stood waiting for assistance and it wasnt even busy I felt ignored. When it was finally sorted to top it off smoke was billowing over from other customers yuk!

Excellent service for six friends early afternoon. Owner very friendly chap, happy to chat with customers. Good wines, good beers, although bottles. Venue cosy and quirky. Spot the gas canister lights above the bar. Haven't tried the food yet but the stuff that went past us looked good. Dogs welcome too.

One of the nicest breakfasts I've had out for a while. Heins baked beans what a treat and good quality sausages, not greasy with fresh tomatoes worth a visit. I came in because they do the best coffee in town and got spoilt.
