Independent music and arts pub.

Formerly the Lord Nelson, this family-run pub has a great position overlooking Walmer Green.

Walk in through the unusual revolving doors and you find yourself in a large room furnished with simple wooden chairs and tables. There's an imposing metal-topped bar on the left, facing the musician's stage opposite.

Outside, the front patio is a great place for a drink in summer while watching life go by.

Hand-pulled cask ales are principally from Kent breweries, such as Time & Tide, and even the keg lagers and beers are from local breweries. Real cider is from Kentish Pip.

Primarily a music venue, the pub strives to bring an eclectic mix of music representing the best of local talent and beyond. The pub frequently hosts ticket-only events featuring more established bands.

Other events include open-mic, food pop-up and comedy nights. Their Sunday lunch is proving very popular.

There's plenty of free on-street parking.

Dogs are welcome, and the revolving doors can be adjusted to admit the larger or more nervous pooch!
