Graham Coombs left this review about The Command House
A glorious building in a superb riverside location, with extensive tabling outside. The interior is smart enough but boringly corporate and lacking much character, which is a bit of a waste. The beer was fair enough though - seems to be Proper Job and Doom Bar as regulars with guests Hogs Back Spirit in the Sky and Three Acres IPA in excellent condition.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Command House
Very attractive Georgian building located between the town centre and the historic dockyard and overlooking the Medway. Not as interesting inside as out, however, once you have mounted the fine flight of front steps, with a thoroughly-refurbished bar having additional seating / dining areas at one end and a pool room at the other. Also benefits from a large front patio beer garden which must be a popular spot in the summer. Gales Seafarers and two beers from Nelson - Friggin on the Riggin and Buccaneer Bunny (£3.30) - from three of four handpumps. Definitely improved from the previous (2013) review.

Originally the house of the Royal Marines Commandant, this impressive Georgian building lay derelict from 1958 until it was converted into a pub in 1978. It soon became one of Chatham's top watering holes, gained many community awards and was used as a set in various TV programmes including most recently Time Team who did a dig next to the river. But now it's owned by Enterprise. It consists of two floors, both comprising a single large bar. The basement is currently a nightclub called Mojo's. The upstairs bar on this visit was uninhabitable by sentient life due to the excessive noise from the world's worst karaoke. There is no longer any real ale. The decor, both inside and out, has been allowed to deteriorate. With such a wonderful location it takes real skill and dedication to turn what was a fantastic pub into the hole it is today. I don't envisage coming back until it sorts its life out.
