Terrace Tavern, Gravesend

A rather plain and uninteresting pub not helped by being virtually next door to the excellent Crown & Thistle. The exterior is probably its best feature with its classic tiling and old brewery wording. Several etched windows are still intact although any broken ones have sadly been replaced by plain glass. The interior feels more like a social club with unadventurous décor, round the edge seating and even a small dance floor. There is a large plasma screen and a couple of fruit machines but not really much else to attract the passer by. The Ales (Spitfire and Pride) were both off although I was not expecting to find any in the first place. For the summer months there is a decent beer garden but for the most part, the pub lacks any real pulling power and certainly wouldn't divert the average punter from its neighbour.
