| Two years ago I visited Blakes of Dover and wasn’t impressed. I would so dearly love to have this place in my top ten list of pubs. It has everything I rate in a pub. It’s off the beaten track. It’s downstairs in an obscure basement. It has decent ale – and the ale is from the barrel. It has pickled eggs. One of it's main problems however is that it also has bar staff who also know how marvellous their pub is. And it's other main problem is that rather than having clientele or regulars, it has an “in-crowd” who make a point of staring at the newcomer. On my last visit I rather slated the place in my review, and today’s visit gave me no reason to change my opinion of the place. In fact my opinion has gone down as the barrels of beer have gone.

| Marvellous! Beer in tip-top condition; friendly staff and a lovely cosy atmosphere make this a worthwhile place to visit. markcp1981 - 14 Mar 2010 07:48 |
| One of the better pubs in Dover. Not that there's much competition! Always good to see Harveys Sussex available. Sampled a pint and one of Polar Beer too. Hopdaemon Dominator was also on. Seems very much a pub for the beer connoisseur- nothing wrong with that. An oasis of calm and decent beer in a grotty run down town. outtamehead - 21 Jan 2010 09:54 |
| Well that is me told then! Apologies if I offended anyone with my posts but I rather like the "Little Englander" crowd, if there were more of them about the Country wouldn't be in such shite order. And when I meant "a certain Class" I was alluding to those of us that have more than 2 brain cells to rub together, rather than those that think a great night out is to quoff as much lager and shots they can cram down their necks in the shortest possible time and then smash someone's face in, usually an innocent bystander. Pardon me for not subscribing to that. john1969 - 22 Nov 2009 10:09 |
