Said to have recently re-opened, probably as a micropub with a new name.

Oh the humanity of it all!!!!!

Well "dopey00" & "angela_eyez", so much for "bigging-up" this apology for a licensed premises in which you so obviously had a vested interest - it's now closed. Such a shame that it didn't close with all the Margate lowlife locked inside and then demolished with a wrecking ball!!

Lol at the comments so far!
I have to agree. Thing is Margate pubs are mainly shit and full of chavs with dodgy beer sadly. This was convenient so we popped in a few times. Wasn't intimidating just mad, I got drunk - it was the only way to cope.
Still the worst pub there is Bar and Grill 37, which had the most horrendous and foul mannered and mouthed bar staff I have ever come accross. Shame I cant; review it here .....

This place is a human sewer.
It's remarkable just how much noise a couple of burberry apes can make in the place on a quiet saturday afternoon after the pool table. It's akin to bonobo monkeys chattering in the tree tops. The toilets are filthy and if you look carefully enough you can see humanity flushing down the pan. Make sure you watch 'Ray Mears' before approaching...

A great family run pub with a wonderfull atmosphere they finaly got rid of the chavvy barmaid and hired new staff The ska night was exelent !! ive been to the karaoke a few times and theres always a good crowd!!
As for the comment about the chavs by the train spotter a few posts ago they must have fled with the chavvy barmaid because all the times ive been in there its been pleasent and realy enjoyable!
They got rid of the blanc and have a whole new range of beers my favorite being petermans artois .
overall 10 out of 10 considering theyve only been re opened since september 06

I think I went in here only to be left standing while the barmaid messed about and then decided to have a conversation with her family. Disgusting

Once in a while, in order to make you a really appreciate a pub, it is necessary to visit Purgatory! Last week, for me Purgatory became Margate. I suffered in four establishements.
First on the list is the Flag and Whistle. Conveniently situated opposite Margate railway station. I suppose the sandwich board outside advertising Kamikaze on a Friday night should have been a warning.
The large chap behind the bar was very polite, friendly and said hello as soon as I got to the bar, and I was served straight away with a pint of Kronie Blanc. Shame about the very pretty barmaid with her swearing head on! Still, she was on her break, so that makes it all right. Oh, does it really?
The pub is rectangular, open plan, with a couple of pew-like benches and tables, and a pool table at the side facing the station. The pub itself is pretty bare inside - the only railway memorabilia being a couple of platform destination boards rescued from Faversham station after the electronic CIS was installed. The notice board has a painting of what is claimed to be "The Flying Scotsman" - what is in fact portrayed is a much older 4-2-2 in G.N.R. livery!
It's all aerosol beer - the Blanc being the best of a bad bunch ( "Wifebeater" and suchlike ). I made a mid-afternoon visit and apart the fellow in overalls, two middle aged ladies and I, the other 8-10 people were chavs, complete with the fake burberry baseball caps, trackies and cheap "Lizzie Duke at Argos" bling.
I drank my beer and bid my farewell to the chap behind the bar, who responded with a cheery "ta mate - see ya soon". I don't think you will, old son.
4/10 - that's only because I like Kronie Blanc and the service was good. Next stop - The Mechanical Elephant.

This is by far the best pub in Margate.

If you are in Margate, you have to visit this place and have a 'Potts Shot' speciality of the management!
