The Two Halves in Thanet

Clean, light, airy modern micropub with a wonderful view. Up to six ales available, fewer mid week. A fair selection of better than average wine is also available along with gins and sometimes a few other spirits. There is also a wide selection of still ciders. Outdoor seating overlooking the harbour is available weather permitting. The pub is dog friendly.

Very good. Very friendly and cosy

Great small micro pub on Margate seafront. Most of the clientele are regulars, though as weekend visitors we felt very welcome. Good selection of cask ale, good variety to suit all tastes, wine selection was good also. Only crisps, nuts etc available when we visited.

Great place to have a drink inside or even take away to the Kings Steps

A great little micro pub, plenty on offer especially ciders and craft beer, some outside seating overlooking the harbour, great little sun trap in late afternoon, friendly atmosphere and patrons.

Very good seafront micropub about 10 minutes walk from Margate railway station. Four cask beers on handpump when I visited. Lots of outdoor seating overlooking the sea and the offshore wind farm.

Great spot to enjoy a beer and watch the sun set.

Super beer & wine to please the non beer drinkers. Run with old school charm and courtesy.

Always a fantastic welcoming place to go on the Seafront. Great selection of Real ales and Ciders. Highly recommend.

Great beer, fantastic views, friendly service.

Well kept ales in a very relaxing atmosphere. And you get to watch the sun go down over a lovely seaside view. What more could you ask for.

John was so lovely, and came outside to top up our prosecco so we could keep it in the fridge to keep it cool.

Gret place for a drink, and good view of the harbour.

Lovely staff, great drinks, local brews! Very good!

If I could leave a 0 star review I would. I will never be visiting this establishment again nor will I ever recommend it. My partner and I have been here a few times before in the past and service and drinks have been good. Unfortunately on this occasion a man who has not previously served us was behind the bar and was bizarrely rude to us. As it had been a while since we’d been here,my partner asked him what beers he had with his response being ‘the one that says beer on the board’ and pointed to the board next to him followed by ‘this is a real pub, we serve cider here’. We ignored this rude and unprovoked remark and my partner started to say what type of beer he likes in the hopes that this man would recommend a cider or something similar only to be cut off mid sentence by this man with the statement ‘if you like beer then you can go across the road and drink sea water’ followed by a desperate attempt of eye contact seeking validation for this rude remark whilst he backed into the room behind the bar. We left at this point without ordering and will never be returning. I can’t give reason to his irrationally rude behaviour, there was four of us in total and none of us were drunk/loud nor did we cut in front of anyone ordering nor was there anyone else waiting to order behind us. There’s clearly a certain demographic attracted to this place (50+) and you can tell this is clearly the only demographic welcome. In either case it’s a 0 rating from us and I highly recommend taking your business to any other establishment including Xylo just next door who have plenty of beer AND cider and other drinks to choose from and more importantly who actually know how to speak to people.

A lovely micropub. Clean, tidy, nice decor.

My grandsons love Margate they love the beach and the peters chipshop .

Lovely friendly pub. Great view out to sea, especially for the sunset. There's always a good selection of real ales and ciders at reasonable prices.

The raspberry and cucumber cider is the way

Made to feel unwelcome by staff 11/05/24 so left without buying anything

Great bar on Margate seafront. Good beer and cider at reasonable prices. You might even see Harry Redknap make a guest appearance.

snug bar with good beer at super prices

Great range of ciders, beers and gins. With a warm welcome and the best views of the sunset in Margate, we always love to pop in for a pint!

Small but perfectly formed pub on the seafront. Ale served straight from the cask, which you can observe through a glass window. Recommended.

Fantastic place to spend a lazy afternoon /evening. Highly recommended 😁

Thursday 14th December 2023 This is a definite must for any real ale drinker to come to when in Margate This great micro pub has 4 well-kept ales on,gravity, some real ciders on also and the small micropubs lovely local following makes this pub such a great place to drink in Keep up the great work all involved

Good little micro on the Margate seafront. Strong selection of ales. Not much seating, so you need to get in quick! Landlord a dead ringer for Harry Redknapp!

Great pub,cracking local beer's and a great vibe from the locals 👏

Excellent ale and perfect gin & tonic.

A nice little microbrewery, right on the seafront. There were three beers on tap - poured straight from the barrel. No intrusive music. Just the beer and the sea view. If you don't want anything alcoholic, they have an arrangement with the coffee shop next door. This place was a welcome stop on a sunny summer's day in Margate. For some reason, despite being a microbrewery, there's a big selection of wine and gin too. Beer reasonably priced and went down well.

Good choice of beers covering styles and strength. Fantastic view, excellent service and friendly atmosphere.

Great little pub on Margeta see front :) very nice staff and great choice of beers and they are dog friendly 5 starts form me :).

Amazing micropub with great selection of beers, gins and wine!! Dogs friendly with the amazing view

What a gem. Having forked out £7 for a pint at a nearby establishment, I had resigned myself to an expensive drinking experience in margate. However this pub had one of my favourite beers on, hophead dark star, for just £3.50. And it was excellent. The only drawback is that it is quite small and gets very busy but that can't be helped and doesn't detract from being a great little establishment with fantastic staff.... And a great view

Very busy little pub. Good service

Happened upon this little gem by chance, if you like decent beer and a nice peaceful vibe then this place is for you

Great place to have a proper beer. Lots to choose from on the wallboard plus lots of gins. Keep up the good work 😀

Great micro.friendly staff.superb beers and a great view

Great location at the waters edge. Good beer. Friendly landlord / owner

What a great find, shame we were only visiting for the day! Great selection of beers, well kept and tasted great. Helpful and friendly bar staff and locals! Amazing view too. Wish it was more local, but we will return.

Excellent ale house. Good choice of well kept cask ales. Excellent choice of gins for the non ales drinkers

Great little pub good drinks at fair prices and the husband and wife who run it are genuinely really nice people, best views of the Margate sunsets

Small place on the front with local beers available for takeaway too. Tried the golden ales which were nice but not my favourite - not cold enough for a hot summer evening

Yes definitely go for it, les yeux fermés:-) Real Cask Ale and friendly bar tender. If you fancy a real Ale don’t miss this little gem.

Lovely staff and great beer selection. The best view as well.

Great pint and friendly atmosphere.

Brilliant choice of "proper beer" , not that gassy, mass- produced lager. Or if you're a gin drinker, excellent selection! Love this place. Friendly reception, great view. Highly recommended!

Great place, lovely decor, good service, excellent selection, value for money, friendly staff. Overall a great experience

Best pint I've had in a long time. Clearly a lot of love and care goes into this place. If I lived in Margate, I'd be a regular at this little watering hole.

Lovely beer, great service. Sunset view recommended

Fantastic micropub with plenty of good beer and drink options. The layout of this place is a traditional mucropub with the chilled room behind the counter. There is a nice front which can be used for additional space.

Lots of drinks to choose from would recommend if your in the margate area

Gorgeous views and amazing cider menu, would definitely visit here again next time we are in margate

Lovely pub, great beer and cider and a beautiful view of the sea

Best pub in the world - loveliest proprietor's, tastiest ales and sunset to die for...

Lovely micro pub, huge selection of ciders as well as quite a few ales and a few wines (that I was told were decent) very friendly, screens masks and sanitiser, but proportionate, Great views at sunset and tables outside too. Also does takeaway. Windows to the pub fold back so your inside but get the outside feel too. Lovely place

The micro pub is ales only, but even for someone who's not that into ales I have to recognise a good beer when I taste one. The landlord is super friendly and the view of the beach and sunset are just perfect. An all around brilliant little spot, upping the interior design would get this place a 5 star review, in the meantime give it a go it's well worth it.

Good beer, good chat, great views.

Closed, friendly, did not have time to make a proper judgement.

Great bar, with some top ales, good cocktail menu, and friendly staff.

Lovely micro pub with stunning views as the sun sets.

Well run covid safe bar. Gives you plenty of confidence that it's run safely. + Great beer and service.

Friendly and safe. And the drinks aren't bad!

Lovely place the owners are really friendly and make you feel welcome

Excellent as ever. Great landlord and lady well kept beers. And what a lovely view.

Great beer , and you get to see harry Redknapp's lookalike..

Excellent choice of beer and amazing view! Felt very safe..

A great pub with one of the friendliest landlords around. I always visit when I'm in Margate. Great selection of beer and a view to die for.

Friendly place and beers are really good. Bit dominated by the bar which does not offer enough seating due to all the internal doors and takes up loads of room. Nice place.

Great little micropub with fantastic views of the beach. Great service and very good beer.

Lovely quaint micro brewery. Had a couple of the ales and found the whole experience extremely pleasant.

Always has great selection of tasty ales served with a smile and good prices.

Great cask ale. Lovely people.

Beer comes with free sea view! ;) nice place to down a pint

A real gem on the Margate seafront. Friendly proper pub and very intimate. Plus wonderful beer!

A good selection of beer, gin, cider and other spirits, a genial host and a nice friendly atmosphere.

Best place in Margate for a drink

A very small bar area : no atmosphere whatsoever

Lovely hip little pub. We enjoyed it so much we had four halves

Wouldn’t have known this place was here, but we saw the owners in a local cafe with the logo on their shirts! Checked it out online & had to pop in for a beer. What a lovely little bar, hope it goes from strength to strength as it was so relaxing with friendly locals.

Small but wonderful beer inside

Nice, neat micro pub. Only 3 draft ales somewhat underwhelming though.

Fantastic hosts and great ciders with lots if choice

Nice basic micropub beer excellent nice place to just drink beers and chat 🐸🍺

Lovely informal place. Great staff too!

Good value beer and cider and lovely service. Beautiful view.

We were made very welcome,and a great selection of ales and gins.

Very friendly micro pub with views to the Margate harbour and north sea. Good selection of beers at £3.50 + a pint. Nice gins and wines too. Definately go back there.

Excellent beer, helpful friendly bar tenders

Amazing views, the windows open right out. Fab selection of beers and ciders. Tried the rhubarb cider which was really good. Will return.

Excellent selection of Ales & Beers, very friendly & knowledgeable owners.

Large selection of beers. I recommend

Friendly staff, decent prices, tasty drinks

Lovely, welcoming and very friendly micro pub. Would highly recommend a visit. Perfect view 😁

Nice couple running the place, if you can get a spot on the bench outside you'll be a happy customer on a nice day. Good selection of Cask and priced very low!

Cracking micro pub ran by a real character.

Excellent little place...staff and customers friendly...will return...

Nice little pub with good beers, a great selection of gins and coders too. Very cosy, worth a visit for some real ales if you're around the area.

Excellent micropub right by the sea. Excellent prices and my son though it was Harry Redknapp great staff and customers I will be back...

Great place to have a pint! Superb selection of ales and beers and wines with a great view of the harbour and sea
