Somerset Arms in Gravesham

I've only ever been here once and it was after a friend's funeral. Everyone was so welcoming. The staff were so friendly. It was karaoke night, what a night it was.

Reasonably priced drinks, great service and calm atmosphere

Dirty glasses, tables and carpet

Lively pub with karaoke. Was fun sinning along a bit too loud for MY liking but still good atmosphere. If you want a good night this could be the place for you...

Great place, good for all occasions Staff caring and non selective Affordable prices

Great pub, love the music. However, please keep a good stock of Rekorderlig Strawberry & Lime please, it's always sold out ! Also please replace the toilet seats in the Ladies loo.

Had pre drinks here. Lovely staff, good prices and the best doorman we met all night.

Great pub wether it's footy or music u want its catered for, friendly staff good atmosphere and a free jukebox!! I would recommend this drinking hole to anyone who wants decent service and good beer!! Thumbs up!!

It is over 50 years since I used the Somerset Arms as a local and I was interested to see how well it has survived. Pleasingly, as well as having pretty much the same layout, it still has the ambience of a proper, old style pub and it was really nice to come back, albeit only for a flying visit.

A nice friendly pub, drinks are reasonable, no food which is fine, a proper boozer. BUT ! PLEASE replace the ripped seats, edges are razor sharp & look awful.

Great night out staff are amazing

Popular pub, lots of fun, good music.

A place where drinks are cheaper than Spoons, and still the people going there are layed back and friendly. Well managed, cheap beers, no trouble. Good place for a few beers ;)

Popped in for afew Saturday night drinks with friends and what a fun atmosphere this place has! Great music choice and space to have a dance, pub looks nice & traditional inside, recommended for the lovely atmosphere and really enjoyable time.

Great music brilliant atmosphere and drink prices are fabulous. Had another brilliant night dancing and meeting up with friends.

Had my sons 18th birthday 22/10 absolutely 💯 percent recommend this place to go. Music is brilliant friendly staff, bouncers very professional good laugh.

Pleasant cheap and cheerful hostelry. Excellent price on the real ale 🍺

Great pub real local people and great music 🎶

Visited last sat 19th Feb with about 8 or 9 friends and had a really good night. We stayed because the music was good the drinks were very reasonable prices and the owners very friendly, in fact bought us a round of shots! Will go back certainly.

I have Never had so many problems In any pub EVER and you cannot call this pub a restaurant in your widest dreams. Most of the staff from every shift were present off duty and totally oblivious to any problems. Even the manager was present, drinking again as usual, I had problems on problems and staff did not see a thing, desite sad looser door staff inside and NOT on the door. This is so sad as this was a Vaventies event! Wow bring you wife and witness this... This is a pub to avoid at all costs.

Top cheap place for atmosphere in Gravesend. Also the real ales are in excellent condition. Friendly barstaff.

4 out of 5 meals weren't eaten, chicken was so dry and the food was cold wouldn't recommend going.. also not child friendly

Great staff. Good selection of drinks & good prices.

Had a brilliant night here last night (Sat 6th Nov) with a group of friends. Great DJ blasting out some tunes! Friendly staff and even the security were a laugh. Drinks reasonably priced and look out for the cocktails in a giant glass/ bowl! Reminded me of how good things used to be about 10 years ago! Would definitely recommend and will be coming again 👍

Lovely little pub. Thank you for a fantastic night.

Great new management - and DJ's have returned to the Somerset! About time! good drinks prices too great atmosphere

If you enjoy sport this is the place to go, reasonable prices at the bar

it was busy, good music, reasonably priced drinks.

A good pub that's well worth a visit.

Well there are different venues in gravesend for different kinds of nights and the Somerset is up there with where to go if you want fun. Friendly staff you feel you’ve known like friends, lovely landlady recognised from other past venues, always welcoming and a various array of all types of customers . Never a dull moment in this venue and guaranteed to have a good time especially with the music nights now allowed

Fantastic atmosphere, friendly staff, excellent prices, good night all round

Very friendly owners and great atmosphere

Good atmosphere. Superb service from the guy behind the bar. Reasonable prices

Nice pub, good pint and very inexpensive. Nice atmosphere.

Nice pub with very cheap drinks

Excellent place to go out for a drink very reasonable prices and a great selection of drinks.

Kind of dead but it was early, bar staff were nice, place was good

Stopped off for a drink while in Gravesend on Sunday was made to feel very welcome so we went back yesterday evening. The bar staff were friendly and helpful and the service was excellent. The drinks are very inexpensive and served well. We think that we will make it our pub of choice when we are in the town in future.

Great staff and a great atmosphere

Just popped in for a couple of drinks on the way home from shopping. Good atmosphere, friendly staff and great prices for the drinks.

I find it relaxing during the day. Might be a different proposition in the evening though

good friendly pub for family and friens staff very polite always ready to serve or answer questions. very welcoming and good value for money.

Great place to spend the night.

Welcoming environment and very fairly priced drinks but the music is very loud. Enjoyed a nice ice cold pint of Strongbow but quickly had to step outside due to the overly loud music.

Just a normal public house . Nothing special.

Great bar staff great management great beers

Very bad service from bar staff.Thought more of all day piss heads than new customers.Short term little profit on cheap beer.

A nice pub they show all the sport and it's cheaper than spoons

Took some friends there because it’s close to home , Fairly roomy pub, music was fairly loud. Service was slow - only 1 bar person . Beer was at a good price but not cold enough . Decor needs updating.

Where else can you buy 4 pints under a tenner

Cheap booze. What more can you ask for?

Great prices and nice music and staff

God awful place with over zealous bouncers not sure which door you can enter via. There are much better pubs you could visit nearby.

Brilliant atmosphere with wicked happy staff ♥️♥️

When in graves end I always make a point of havens drink or two friendly staff always make you welcome and the bonus ole a few minutes walk too railway stn

Used to be our local, but the new staff are awful. There's a free juke box but like the pool table not be level it's pointless. The new staff just pick and choose what they want to listen to and skip customer choices. Explains why its more dead than usual on a bank holiday...rubbish staff!

Then get upset when you question them for skipping customer selections?! Used to be our local....a lot quieter than usual, can only put this down to the poor change in staff

Friendly place to have pub in have good laugh. Warm and welcoming

This pub used to specialise in real ales. I was disappointed to find it no longer does.

One of the best places to be if you wantto talk somebody without screaming into their ear and still enjoy modern music

I've given the Somerset 3 stars based upon the brilliant laughs I've had in there in years gone by... The place was heaving and full of Gravesenders having a brilliant time... Now it's a shadow, no music, DJs etc... Such a shame, the fella is either running it to the ground or it needs a good shake up

Good beer cool decor pool table is not level so free games on Monday are pointless

It's okay not as lively as it used to be

Not the best place in town..the alcoholic drinks tasted very weak

Very friendly establishment! Try it for the pleasant staff, range of drinks and ample seating areas. LOVE it for the internal decor - sporting, musical and artistic pictures and posters - and it is cleaned professionally daily, so not an ounce of dust anywhere. Gets a great crowd in on the weekend too. Something for everyone I suppose.

Great staff got selection of beers

The music in the pub is the best.

Very expensive ask for strongbow dark fruits and it comes in a can for £4.50 and you don't get a full pint doesn't sell food either

If a night out in Gravesend is on the cards, this place is usually on the list of venues to call in for a beer.

Great place. Great staff. Great prices.

Nice quiet pub during the day.. a bit too noisy in the evening

It's a long time since I have been in the Somerset Arms. It boasts it is real ale house, but there was nothing to eat (crisps?) and the beer was only OK. It's a great pity because it has a prominent position near the station, and the surrounding area is scheduled to be redeveloped in the near future.

My husband and I have just been to the monthly curry night at the Somerset Arms and it was spectacular. Samosa starter, choice of four curries and a bottle of wine. £20 for two people. Great value, lovely food and plenty of atmosphere. We will be going again.

For locals this is a legend of a pub steeped in history it's been around almost as long as Gravesend. Cleverly balancing a traditional ale and food pub during the day and a busy bustling bar with DJs at night open till 3am Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I am really pleased to say if you feel like splashing some cash they offer some of the more high class spirits along side the usual something not seen so much at other pubs in this area. TOP TIP: Watch out for the new £2 Tuesdays. just £2 for a wide range of drinks and food. They seem to have become a regular weekly event and it becomes shockingly busy Tuesday afternoons. Don't these people have jobs :-)
