Blakes | 52, Castle St, Dover, Kent, CT16 1PJ | 01304 202194 | Map |
(Free House) A really nice cellar bar & bistro. Very extensive menu, highly recommended (but it has 'blown hot and cold' depending on the number of folk there). Good Beer Guide* Restaurant on ground floor. 52 malt whiskies available. Blakes obtained the 6-firkin stillage from The Mogul when that pub closed and attracted most of the former Mogul regulars. The beer range has improved (a long guest list and micro-breweries featured), the quality is up & the prices down a little. Expect GBP 2.70-3.00 per pint for real ale. Bottom line: 'Eccentric but great' | |||

Just off the High street, the Roman Quay is a friendly drinking hole, quiet during the day, but lively of an evening, with Fridays and Saturdays being the real party nights.
