Harpers in Thanet

Table 7 today. We have had lots of Sunday lunches in Broadstairs and can honestly say, without a shadow of a doubt, todays was the best yet. Beautiful food, really friendly service. For years we have walked straight past here, not anymore. We will return. And its dog friendly !

Beautiful bar, made me realise what the difference between a pub and bar is. Best cocktails in the country, good food on sundays.

Just off the High Street and even closer to the water ( 1 minute) .... easy parking at the wharf... friendly bar staff and great live entertainment I suggest the White Russian Cocktail... very heavy with the Vodka!

We called here for Sunday lunch and we’re amazed at the sumptuous lunch we had. Excellent value for money and friendly staff. Thoroughly recommend the home cooked lunch with plenty of choices available.

Came in here Saturday afternoon on a mini pub crawl, we all ordered cocktails which were freshly made and lovely. Definitely come back if in the area,great staff.

Great roast lunch reasonably priced would definitely recommend friendly atmosphere loads of choices also a nut roast

Such a lovely bar that serves great food! We had the cod & chips served in ciabatta bread and the kids had chicken nuggets. They ate the lot and we ended up going the next day too! It was delicious. The pina colada was the best pina colada I’ve ever tasted and the porn star martini was to die for . The owner was very lovely & chatted to us about broadstairs as it was our first time there so told us all we needed to know. The bar staff were great, he was very friendly & defiantly knows how to make the best drinks! Well defiantly visit again when we come back next year!!

We have eaten here many times before and cannot fault the family made meals, especially the Greek salad. We came tonight for some drinks and have thoroughly enjoyed trying new cocktails and shots, all skilfully made - we particularly enjoyed the fact that we could watch the bartenders flairing Tom Cruise style. This bar feels very authentic and we will come again. The waitresses wear masks and the bar is fitted with Covid secure screens. If you happen to visit Broadstairs in Thanet then be sure to visit Harpers.

Cute little bar with an amazing cocktail list. I had the Pino Colada which was delicious! Definitely recommend to all cocktail lovers!

Lucked out with this walk-in! Although (pre-Covid) this is a cocktail bar with mainly evening trade, live music etc. you could do a LOT worse for lunch with kids. Very simple menu but everything was delicious and perfectly cooked. My youngest had a great bacon and cheese burger with fries and the rest of us had fish and chips. Quite small cod but succulent and super-fresh with perfect batter and only £8. Good service from waiting staff and a very friendly, chatty owner who we really liked. Health provisions excellent, thorough. Makes a nice change from undoubtedly good but MUCH pricier alternatives nearby. The owner talked to me for a while about their evening and out of season offerings. I was interested enough to want to come back with friends on a winter weekend for the evening. Meanwhile, I wouldn’t hesitate to return for a simple, very good value and well cooked lunch on a sunny beach day.

Amazing bar just a few metres from the beach! Huge variety of cocktails, we popped in for a burger (delicious) and found ourselves sampling one or two of the cocktails from their pretty extensive list. Their pina colada is a triumphant reworking of a classic and the rum and bass a fantastic afternoon livener. Ended up staying for a couple of hours, leaving with a takeaway cocktail for the beach. Table service, screens and other social distancing measures were in place and well-managed. We will definitely be back!

Lovely food, great staff, amazing cocktails!!! Great range range of cocktails and drinks at very very good prices! Lovely atmosphere!! Make sure you pop in and grab a drink

Went to Harper’s over a week ago, unhappy about what happened when I was there. Staff asked for our names and numbers on arrival which is absolutely fine. We know we have to provide these under government legislation. However, the way they are going about it is a problem. They are passing round an A4 notebook and making you write your name and number and arrival time in the book. Firstly, there is no way this cardboard notebook could be disinfected so this is an easy way to spread disease. It is then being passed to and from everyone who comes to the bar for them to add to, being left unattended at tables with punters to fill in by bar staff for 5-10 minutes at a time. Punters could easily flick back and read who is there and get their number or use that data for other reasons- ie see if you’re a regular there and the times you’re out of the house.. I think this is a GDPR issue and I don’t want people seeing my number. Legally this data can only be held by the pub and shared with track and trace so I’m not sure why they are purposively allowing people’s private data to be shared, but this break in data protection needs to stop.The drinks were nice but this tainted the experience for me. I have tried to get in contact via email to no avail.

Had a lovely time at Harper's Bar, it was a friday night in february and me and my family went for a few cocktails which led to staying there all night and enjoying the live DJ set with some old school tracks and live saxophone playing, we had an awesome time, the drinks were so lush we had the best cocktails in town well professionally made and a standard price, we also had a lovely delicious Sunday roast dinner which filled me up to my eyeballs it was so dam good,my mum is a Vegan so she had a delicious nut roast so get your arses to harpers bar in broadstairs such lovely bar staff and brilliant cocktails and music. well be back very soon xxx

I really like Harpers. Friendly staff and roomy, it is great to see bands in, and a small garden for summer. Recommended.

A fantastic roast, everything cooked to perfection. The lamb was tender, roast potatoes fluffy, 2 Yorkshire pudding and 4 different veg, all served with the most delicious gravy. Definitely returning for another visit

if you like expensive cocktails, people who think they are far better than everyone and poncey crushed ice and not getting to the bar ever in the whole time you are there this is the place, accompanied by a rude obnoxious owner who throws accusations about for no apparent reason, avoid

Tried to go in an hour before close las week with the old man but was rudely refused by the owner because ‘they were closing’, when we asked why he told us to ‘f*ck off’ and shut the door in our face. Then again tried to come the following week with a different group of friends at around 9:30 and we was refused again for no reason. The owner is a proper tw*t and would honestly say it is one of the worst places to go. Would definitely recommend staying away from there.

Went there with a group of friends for a quiet drink, was told we wasn’t allowed in at 11pm despite the 12pm close time, the owner proceeded to be rude and slam the door on our face. Next time we entered a week later , at 9pm, hoping it was early enough he told us to ‘f*** off’ and that if we come again he would ban everyone we are friends with. The owner is rude, and if I was anyone thinking to visit this pub for a few beers, I would think twice.

Great weather led to a nice sit outside. Glad we decided to stop in for lunch. The lamb must be great, because it was gone by 1PM. Friendly staff and patrons.

We went to Broadstairs for the day and end up in harpers for Sunday brunch , it was delicious food , the portion quiet big , the chicken was moist , and they have the backyard side for sit as well . Excellent.

The roast was amazing. Comfortable surroundings with pleasant staff. We also had spent an evening in here previously watching a live band. Excellent.

We have been popping into Harpers at night for drinks for years but have never eaten there. Today we went for Sunday lunch and wondered why we have never been before!It was delicious, one roast lamb and one chicken and gammon mix. All of the food was cooked perfectly, the meat was moist, the veg not soggy, the roast potatoes & Yorkshire’s were delicious, and a gravy boat full of gravy! Not a tiny jug as is popular at the moment. I am very fussy about roast dinners and normally will not eat them out, but we will definitely be returning for a Harpers roast, it was delicious!

A local lady recommended Harpers wine bar for Sunday lunch. The portions were generous and the food well-cooked. The lamb was delicious.Good value for money.

The Sunday Lamb Roast was amazing. Really delicious 😋 The staff was friendly and the ambient is cosy.

Well, came to Broadstairs for the day and my hubby pointed out this lovely little restaurant up a side street. We had a lamb roast and omg it was the best roast we have had. Couldn’t finish it-too much food! Was a bargain at under a tenna for each dinner. We will definetly come again! Gorgeous food-compliments to the chef!!!

I didn't know they did Sunday Lunch until I was invited with 5 other ladies. It's amazing. I would say it one of the best we (as a group) have had. Most of us chose the lamb. It was in a largish 'chunk', but neatly sliced down. It came with 4 different vegetables cooked properly and not mushy, 6 smaller roast potatoes and 2 yorkies, gravy in a boat and individual pots of mint sauce. My lamb was delicious. I'm afraid I couldn't do it justice, I had to leave the potatoes (sadly).. Highly recommended.

We popped in for a late night drink, they had live music, there was a great atmosphere, the band was good and we stayed for a good few hours! We will be back.

Love going to Harpers and usually come after a meal at Restaurant 54. They have awesome passion fruit daiquiris and my partner swears the white espresso martini is the best he's had. The prices aren't too bad considering they use fresh fruits. I know we would certainly both go more if they did some weekend deals- maybe 2 for £10 happy hour or something like that, but we do enjoy coming out for a cheeky few on special occasions. The staff are really friendly too and the ambience is lovely.

Nuestro lugar ir en Broadstairs. Gran ambiente, bebidas, crecido y el personal encantador. Me las arreglé para romper mi torpemente de vidrio y llegaron en unos segundos para aclarar, nos cambiaron a una mesa clara y luego - completamente inesperadamente - me trajeron una bebida fresca. Mejor mojito en Broadstairs. Altamente recomendado.

We visited this place as a family get together, following others returning from Australia. Friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Good food. Really enjoyable evening.

Brilliant and very good value large roast £7-50 or £8 for lamb I had lamb wife had a mix of chicken and gammon it was beautiful can't understand why the place was not packed full range of beers / wine and cocktails will be going back nice courtyard at back as well

Called in after a meal on a Saturday evening. A younger crowd is evident but a good atmosphere and good music. Enjoyable.

What can I say this is a gem if you love cocktails better than any I have tasted in London where I live and half the price.

Paramos en Harpers mientras en Broadstairs para pasar la noche. Hemos estado aquí antes y decidimos volver para cócteles. Tuve un par de mojitos, pero las otras 3 estrellas martinis en mi grupo había porno, que acordó eran los mejores que hubiera tenido! . El personal era realmente amable y este es un gran lugar para tomar una copa.

El domingo pasado hemos experimentado el asado más fabuloso domingo aquí por primera vez, y definitivamente no será la última! Ambos tuvimos el pollo que venía con sobresaliente y yorkshires jamón para arrancar. Estábamos en el paraíso! Todo era como lo harías en casa. A £7. 50 para una gran comida y 5 libras. 00 para una comida de tamaño, este es un valor. El bar era relativamente tranquilo que no podíamos entender. La zona del bar es bastante básico, pero el personal es acogedor y muy complaciente (pedimos más salsa que estaba siempre de próxima aparición). Estamos deseando volver de nuevo quizás en la noche a ver una banda en vivo que son regularmente jugando. Gracias Harpers

Great Cocktails, brilliant live bands awesome food, so close to the beach, pleasant staff and owner, we had such a fantastic time in Harpers bar and will be back again. 🍹🎶

Fuimos en domingo para el cordero asado, y no nos decepcionó. Había una muy generosa porción de carne y una

Paramos en una improvisada asadas y estoy muy contenta de haberlo hecho! Mi marido pidió el asado de cordero para 8 libras y tenía una tamaño medio pollo asado y por 5 libras. Tanto nuestras comidas eran grandes que el camarero me había advertido de que sería tan afortunadamente redujeron la mía desde el grande en el medio. Me parece a veces puede ser una verdura poco impredecible cuando comer fuera, ya que a menudo es precocida así pueden parecer gris, duro y sabor seco y soso... no aquí! Había patatas riquísimo asado dulce, deliciosa y zanahorias, repollo preciosa perfectamente cocinado, arvejas frescas verde oscuro verde, brócoli fresco, un budín de Yorkshire y el pollo más suculento y que creo que he tenido... sin mencionar real salsa de carne. Mi marido tenía más o menos la misma pero con una generosa ración de bonito, liberar en el cordero, un budín de boca extra yorkshire, una taza de salsa de menta y salsa de cordero real que era absolutamente delicioso! Una fantástica relación calidad-precio para una genial asado que te llene como una bonita casa cocinado asado sin la preparación y lavando! Regados con una sidra cada resultó ser una excelente comida!

En este pequeño llamado acogedor bar para algo. Tenía el asado los domingos y que era magnífico.

Fantastic little bar with lots of live music. Really friendly. The CCTV in the toilets was 'interesting'!!

Went for a drink with the family during folk week, service was good and didn't have to wait long to be served and they don't mind children either which was a bonus, place seemed pretty chilled and relaxed which was nice compared to everywhere else during folk week. Prices good aswell.

One of few bars in the area that seemed to attract a decent grown up crowd. Popped in for a few minutes on Friday night during folk week and for an hour on the Saturday.Live music features here daily, and the bar staff were friendly.Tiny outdoor seating area was cosy and memorable in the sun!Thanks guys

The bartender seems to have been a circus performer - his juggling of the bottles is an added extra . We went to hear a good cover band as Broadstair's Folk Week gets going. There is an outdoor area where people not there for the music hung out so the bar was roomy and the other punters friendly.

Walking past with friends today & spotted the board outside for Sunday lunches so decided to call in. It seemed a bit gloomy but decided to stay as the people in the window recommended the food. We were not disappointed. Beautiful home cooked food & plenty of it & the barman was very polite & friendly.

recently moved to Broadstairs and been here a few times now. lovely little place and great atmosphere at weekends. Popular with the local youngsters but dont let that put you off.

A good generous portion of freshly cooked and locally caught haddock & chips. Go. Try it you won't be disappointed

Had a lovely walk along the beach and decided to eat at the harpers bar for Sunday lunch. Had a wonderful roast diner, big portions (not complaining) worth the money. Service was great, would definitely go back again.

Found the place very friendly and warming. Went in on a Saturday evening for a few cocktails which were lovely. Great atmosphere and live environment. I enjoyed myself so much I went back again on the Sunday where I had a nice roast dinner and listened to the live music in the evening. If in broadstairs again, I will revisit.

Looks small on the outside very deceiving ,has live music as well and an outside area for you smokers

Drinks are all good, served by nice guys. The music is some of the best in town. Live on a Thursday and Sunday night. Very mixed age group, and a couple of stools at the end of the bar ......... which I always try to grab.

Have only been here on a night out previously and found it great, however popped by and tried the food and have to say it was a real treat. Friendly staff fast and efficient service high quaility food throughly recommend to anyone. Suits couples and friends alike. Try it out

Popped in after a disappointing meal at Wyatt and Jones, and upon us commenting about it, the delightful girl behind the counter offered us a bowl of chips to keep us going.After that, the night got better and better. Great selection of drinks, friendly service and good atmosphere makes this a good place for a night out.

During our stay and only two minutes walk from our b & b we found Harpers bar and restaurant and as our name is the same we had to go in for the fish and chips, the best we have had for a very long time, the bar though not so good but worth it for the F & C

I have many happy memories of Harper's wine bar. If it could talk, it could probably give you a pretty accurate account of my adult life over the last thirty years. I have celebrated birthdays, both my own and other people's here, I have brought (nearly) all my girlfriends here, I have celebrated exam passes here, even the passing of my driving test, back in the 1980's. Now unfortunately, it doesn't seem so good. The last time I went there, with my wife, during Folk Week, entrance was through the side door, the music was deafening, and it was so crowded that we could hardly breathe, and we couldn't get to the bar to order any drinks. The time before that, it was almost empty, and the staff, who should have been serving, were all busy doing something else.Having said all this, I have usually found the food to be very good, and the drinks the same. Maybe I just caught them at bad times, but oh, how I miss the Harper's of years past. Fun, friendly, discreet and reasonably priced!

I had a lovely meal in Harpers after a long walk, it was just what the doctor ordered, I went in for a meal and it was such a good atmosphere I stayed for the Live Music, what an experience!

This bar/restaurant has a nice look with a cosy courtyard surrounded by ivy covered walls. Unfortunately the courtyard was spoilt by what felt like a constant stream of staff coming out to smoke and lounge around which was very unprofessional. Also the area is small and the smoke smell completely took over, the staff were unconcerned about blowing smoke towards us and we had a baby and small child with us so I was not impressed. The food was ok, some slightly odd combinations, portions were too big and the quality was average. I wouldn't go back there.

Very busy pub in the heart of town stocked with nice beers and service always with a smile no matter how busy it gets.

Went for dinner on a Saturday evening. Despite only being one of 3 tables, service was weak with staff spending more time smoking in the garden than being attentive to the customers. Food was OK although not a single vegetarian option for main course. For a wine bar, wine list had to be asked for and is not exactly extensive. Would not rush back.
