    Upon walking down from Dover Castle into the town, we were looking for a way to take a picture of the Cliffs of Dover when we stumbled into The White Horse Tavern on St. James Street to ask for directions. We were greeting with a friendly smile with directions to get a rather good picture. On return we dropped into the tavern for a bite and a beer or two. After talking to the locals we discovered it dated back to 1547. We had a great time in this old tavern, learning about its history and all the autographs on the walls and ceiling. Food was very good beer was great and the prices were reasonable.
    Would definitely return if ever back in Dover

    What an amazing venue !. The decoration is incredible so much to look at , very quirky.
    it was only 6.30 when we arrived and there was already a live DJ playing up in the roof area.
    Staff were very friendly and the drinks very competitively priced unlike other venues nearby.
    We had a great evening and thoroughly recommend a visit.

    The last time I was here I was with a guy with a bittersweet face. His name was Ebeneezer.
    He was the main geezer and he could vibe up the place like no man other could.
    He is the type of geezer who should never be abused.

    We were staying over night in Dover having driven down the country. We called into The Golden Lion by chance. We had our dogs with us. We were given a very warm welcome and had a lovely evening chatting to the landlady and locals. Will visit again.

    My friend and I went to The Boar’s Head last night to see The Dial perform. They were absolutely brilliant. They played different songs to other pub / wedding bands I’ve seen. The atmosphere in the pub was great. The staff were friendly and the drinks are very reasonably priced. It was mainly local people and it was lovely for me to see some old friends and have a dance and a giggle. I can highly recommend the Boar’s Head for a great night out whether you live locally not. Thank you Karen and staff for lifting my spirits (and a glass or two of cider) I’ll see you again soon x

    Always a friendly welcome. Large selection of wines with knowledgeable staff to assist you. Big range of spirits and some beers.
    Great little wine bar with live music on offer as well (often acoustic, jazz or swing)

    Only discovered this pub recently. Since then myself and partner have been in a couple of times. Lots of bants and fun with Tammie & Chris and their locals. A gem. Not to be missed!

    Cute and quirky place to eat.
    Dog friendly.
    Great for an evening drink.
    Only downfall was the tables weren’t cleared quick enough but it was busy.

    I usually visit the Prince Albert Pub when I am over from Germany. Karaoke Sunday is one of my fav fun activities. There is a great Karaoke community where everybody is made to feel welcome. I drank vodka Lemon and my daughter drank lemonade. A place to have a drink and a sing song without being hassled. Prices were reasonable for England (in comparison to Germany which is a lot cheaper) Looking Forward to my next visit in July.
