GLAD THESE FILTHY SCOUNDRELS GOT EVICTED
BUMPED EVERYONE WITH BOUNCED CHEQUES.
LATE NIGHT DRUG DEALING, LAST LEASEE NOW IN PRISON

In previous guise as "The Railway Tavern", this vile hole was notorious for its drunken fighting and general tawdriness.
Re-opened as "D:Ream", which I read as "D Colon Ream". It was an appropriate summation. Hasn't lasted long and hopefully will be razed to the ground soon. An awful shack.

The Pakistani family that owned it lost their licence and its boarded up until someone who knows what they are doing.

Absolute horseshit pit.
Terrible staff, walked in one afternoon with my husband and two colleagues and were totally ignored the TWO girls behind the bar , both too busy talking and mucking about putting a phone back together that had been dropped.
No amount of patient waiting or hints was going to get their attention so we left after a few minutes. You would think as nobody else was in their they would beeager to serve and take some money. Evidently not. Probably explains why in fact the pub is so dirty and in a state of disrepair.
They cannot even afford to buy light bulbs for the outside lights. Now I know why its so empty all the time. The owners and staff do not give a monkeys.
One to avoid at all costs.

Has shut and is boarded up.

This pub has been re-branded and is now called D:Ream. A warning to all who may use this pub. THEY ARE CHARLOTTANS. My mates played there and the owner did not pay them, so they play owner did not pay. Owner is BASRA. What a shite!!!
|
Now closed
|
Boarded up. Never a pub to really bother with, but shame its closed all the
same. Lets hope when / if reopens the new tenants will stick some real ales on.

Situated just opposite Gravesend train station is The Railway Tavern. A commuters pub, one suspects, but seemingly a place which has its own specific crowd of regulars. I paid an afternoon visit last Monday (9 June) and after a couple of pints, left without any particular views on the establishment. I found it to be OK, nothing more. Its not spectacular, yet its certainly not offensive. Its actually a fairly large pub, though there was only a few customers present on my visit and all seemed well acquainted with each other. No ales were available, so opted for the obligatory Stella. There is a jukebox and a few fruit machines. Cheap food is offered at discount prices. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Anything else to add? Not really. It serves a purpose, its okay for a quickie before or after a journey, but its not a place to make a specific trek to.

My previous memories of this place were of it being very rough and ready, as one would expect from a pub serving a busy station. We recently ended a pub crawl and found it to be a lot more welcoming and comfortable than my previous memories with softer furnishings and a friendly, relaxed ambience although it must be said, it was not very busy at the time. The knocked through interior is quite spacious although the d�cor is fairly ordinary and uninspiring. Some of the original features like the fireplaces are still intact. No Real Ales which is always a disappointment but overall it is not the worst place in town and certainly superior to the Railway Bell on the other side of the station.
