Fifty 9, Gravesend

Fifty 9 has a bar along the left hand wall with a small serving area at the front and a not much bigger main bar behind where standard draught is available. Along the right hand wall are some high tables and in an area at the rear is a pool table that is situated on the oche of a dartboard. There was some background music from a jukebox and the lone plasma screen was airing muted daytime television. Out the back is a small covered smoking area with a single café table and some chairs. Live music and DJs are advertised at the weekend and I suspect that there is a late license. I got the feeling that this is a popular place with the twenty-something in crowd of the area. The two other customers during my Friday afternoon visit were wide boys and as I left a gaggle of blondes with more make-up than clothes came walking in. I didn’t click with this place.
