    Great range of craft beers in Tunbridge Wells. The staff here were very friendly and helpful. The space is eclectic. Plenty of board games to while away an afternoon. Mobile signal very sketchy as it's below ground level and I didn't see any free WiFi available... So I just had to give the delicious IPA my full attention! πŸ˜‚

    Lovely atmospheric location with a wonderful selection of not just quality ales, but spoilt for choice on different Gins as well. Well worth a visit πŸ‘

    Swore at me as soon as I came in. Expensive posh pints aren't worth it if a grumpy old geezer hates you just because you're young. Worst pub in town.

  • 5/5 Ptob 8 months ago on Google
    A great little place with awesome selection of premium beer- pricey, but they always are these days! **Quite funny to see people putting up their first or second ever review here to express how cross they are about the service! We had a great time.

  • 5/5 Andrea 11 months ago on Google
    Quirky little bar wuth huge selection of beers and ciders. Friendly atmosphere, would recommend.

  • 5/5 Carl S. 10 months ago on Google
    Untouchable selection of lagers, and ciders. The pub itself feels like you're in a Spanish bar. Very cosy, good atmosphere. Large outside seating area - which is a winner when the sun ever comes out.

  • 5/5 Dominic C. 9 months ago on Google
    Excellent tap room. Very large selection of beers and ciders. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. Happy to let taste the beers to help you decide what you want. Nice outside space at the foot of the pantiles and a cosy bar down the steps.

    Very friendly and knowledgeable staff who can advise even the most clueless Carling or Strongbow drinker.

    One of The Pantiles' hidden gems. Great if you like cider and a chill place to come and enjoy a drink with a pleasant atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit!

  • 5/5 Graham S. 1 year ago on Google
    A splendid tap room serving all manor of beers and ciders, alongside wines and spirits. Outdoor seating on benches, some with umbrellas for shading. Set in the Pantiles a central milling point for many tourists and locals alike. Blackboard outside lists the beets and ciders on tap as specials with the alcohol content on each clearly marked, a fantastic selection. Small indoor seating available too.

  • 5/5 Rebecca R. 1 year ago on Google
    Really friendly staff w a great range of craft ales and ciders

  • 5/5 des m. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a amazing pint of blood orange IPA in this quirky place . Served by a well travelled and obviously loved owner. Cheers!

  • 5/5 Arran N. 1 year ago on Google
    Still the best place to go on the Pantiles, range of beer and cider is great. No main stream beers, just quality micro brewery beers, absolutely epic. Great service as well

  • 4/5 Mark D. 7 years ago on Google
    Great staff and atmosphere, with a well chosen array of beers dispensed from taps on the back wall; real ciders are contained in the Great Wall of Cider.

  • 5/5 Sharon D. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place great for booking parties esp Xmas time

  • 5/5 Nicola Du T. 4 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Fiona *. 1 year ago on Google
    Lots of different ales and ciders to try. Prosecco. Gins. Bar lady was not very welcoming.

  • 5/5 Rob W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great selection of Ales here, outside seating for when it's not too hot and cool cellar inside for when it is!

  • 4/5 Jasmine P. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice pub tucked just off the main pantiles strip. Good beers and nice big benches outside in the sun. Also have they have a drinks list on a chalkboard outside which is really handy so you don't spend 10 mins deciding at the bar.

  • 4/5 Stuart M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great tucked out of the way bar with lots of indoor seating and, during the Summer, plenty of outdoor space. Has a good rotation of new and interesting beers from lots of varied breweries, so this place is a good alternative to Fuggles. No food served, but lots of bar snacks.
