The Market House, Tonbridge

No cask. Very limited keg range of two from Tonbridge brewery, their IPA and the blonde beer Das Kolner.

Bar in a venue that I can imagine would have been a nice pub of yesteryear. It has a polished concrete / industrial flooring with the green tiled bar counter on the right-hand wall mid venue. Can imagine it does most of its trade as a cafe restaurant, with late closing only Thurs to Sat evenings. There is a drinking ledge with tall stools down the left-hand side looking out onto the busy road with regular tables between it and the bar counter / coffee & cakes servery. In the front on the right-hand wall is a small, raised area with two sofas facing each other and there is a tall table at the very front by the door providing good viewing of the venue stretching into the distance. There is a curious screened off area mid venue on the left-hand side housing a single table and the area beyond houses a piano. Beyond that in the rear of the venue there is a velvet banquette along the left-hand wall serving a few tables and with a DJ station opposite it. Some child play equipment in the rear suggests this is a popular venue for families to hand-out, but none in on my visit.
