Little Swift, Margate

Craft beer bar also operating as a small delicatessen on the upper level accessed from the High Street. The counter is also here, with 11 taps on the bar-back offering a wide selection of styles plus a couple of ciders. Steering clear of things like the 12.5% Pohjala Banger, I went for the Anspach & Hobday London Black porter (£6.00) - expensive, but I had a great view overlooking the harbour from my table by the front windows on the lower level.

Given the name I was expecting this place to be an off licence with a few draught options but it is much more of a craft bar than an off licence. It's a split level room with entrances on Marine Drive and the High Street on the upper level so provides a handy shortcut between Fez and the Two Halves micropubs! Thr bar is on the upper level and there is no real ale but ten craft keg fonts. My only criticism of this place is that some of the offerings appeared to only be sold in stupid third or two third measures. I found one served in pints the Gadds' Black Pearl Stout (£5.00) which was excellent. Although £5.00 is expensive it's not outrageously so given that it's a 6.2% stout. I would definitely return.
