This Pub is Permanently Closed

This Grade II listed pub closed during the summer of 2022. In May 2023 permission was granted for a change of use to become a painting studio, and have a residence and a community space. It was in the Good Beer Guide in 1994, 1995 and 1996.

Historic Interest

The pub is mentioned in the 1839 directory as the George and the Dragon. It was probably a beer shop conversion from a terrace cottage. Plainly it was a tiny pub, scarcely larger than its rival in Charlotte Place, the 18th century Liverpool Arms which disappeared in the 1950's. Towards the close of the 19th century a single storied extension provided extra bar space and a bottle and jug. As well as its parapeted roof and Romanesque windows, the extension is mounted by a turret-like folly which used to have a flagpole attachment. Presumably a former landlord was so charmed by medieval legends of goodly knights and evil dragons, he created his own castle facsimile. The final extension occurred in 1980, when the living quarters at the rear made way for a games room. The pub also changed its name to celebrate a newly acquired free house status. The 'Quart' has a delightful cloistered beer garden overlooked by the August St John's Church. Despite the modern development hereabouts, this part of Margate retains its village quality. One former landlord, Bill Hamilton played international football for Scotland. During his tenure the pub was tied to the Charrington brewery; before that Thompson of Walmer held the interest.
