Great for a girls night out, the only trouble is, that as there only seems to be one bartender, you have a small wait if you give him a list of 15 cocktails or so seeing as they are all done individually! But hes a fair guy, and does a great job. Not particularly busy, can be hired out for parties although not done this as of yet. Good environment to sit and sup a cocktail whilst watching idiots fall out of BN21!!

Good deals on cocktails and shots, plenty of seating over 2 levels, if it gets busy, expect your coctail to take some time, but it is worth it!

Downstairs is a cheesy little dance floor probably the size of the average sitting room, can go from being packed at the weekend, to a wednesday night when it has just been a few of my friends and I! Drinks are reasonably priced, toilets a bit manky but ok, DJ's normally play requests to the extent that some nights its like having a personalised jukebox playing :)

Each time we've been there they ask about the last wine we bought and how we enjoyed it with food, etc. They take the time to get to know their customers and build a sense of community with everyone that walks into the shop.

The wine is very unique, organic, and exciting for wine connoisseurs!!! The owner, Jesal, is very informative and there's always new great finds.

Great hidden gym, in my opinion!

Now called Richard Phillips at Chapel Down, this wine bar and restaurant is the serious drinker's…read moreworst nightmare - a great venue, serving delicious wine, that's completely inaccessible by public transport! I've only ever been to the bar, but with its cask lined walls and comfy armchairs it makes for a really cosy place to relax and explore the vineyard's excellent selection of wines. Moreover, if you visit on a sunny day you also have the option of sitting outside on their adjoining terrace, which has stunning views of the Kentish countryside. It may not be the cheapest place for a drink, but I've found Chapel Down's wine to be consistently good and it's definitely well worth a visit. Of course, if you can't find a nice, sober person to drive you there and back and you don't feel like hiking, there is a shop downstairs which sells all of their wines to take away. It also does tastings and sells a range of deli products which are perfect for a snack or a spur-of-the-moment picnic in the countryside.

And as someone who frequents this place, it would be nice if they changed up the music. I can guarantee the playlist every single time i attend.

I had originally bookmarked the Sandwich Bar as a place to try for lunch when visiting Canterbury,…read morebut when we walked into that restaurant, the sitting space inside was just a row of bar stools against the window and a bench outside. Apart from the lack of seats, also realized when we got there that we didn't really feel like a sandwich and since we were hungry, just decided to go next door to the Burger Bros, and am very glad we did so! I really like the vibe of this place, and it's mixed identity. So it's a wine bar called Alberrys and then the back/ kitchen is the Burger Bros restaurant space. They were playing cool laid back 70s tunes and I liked the juxtaposition of music with the Americana style menu. Plus they have free wifi and that is an excellent bonus - just ask the server for the password. I ordered a vegetarian slider and a cider and my other diner got a Cajun burger and a mango/orange fruit juice and we split the fries, which were totally fantastic and not at all greasy and nor did they gave that stale oil taste. My veggie slider arrived on a wooden chopping board (cool way to serve the food) and was overflowing with mushroom and roasted red peppers and Haloumi cheese (you could choose between Haloumi or blue cheese and I went with the servers suggestion). I also liked the crunchiness of the fried onion ring and eggplant so the burger's fillings came together in a beautiful medley of fresh and juicy flavours. If there is one thing I would have preferred for next time is that the burger be cut into two, as this would have made it easier to pick up and eat. Cost for two drinks, two burgers and a shared bucket of fries was £25 (rounded down), so not too bad. Oh the ladies loo was a funny experience as I couldn't find toilet paper until I looked up! The roll is placed super awkwardly and I was stretching my hand to get some paper.
