The Mole Hole
A 7 minute walk from Gravesend Railway Station – Google Maps
The Mole Hole opened on Gravesend High Street on 27 July 2019, set inside a vaulted cellar beneath a building that had previously been used as a tattoo parlour, and before that as the Cellar Bar music venue. Its name links to Gravesend Rugby Club, whose nickname is “The Moles”, giving the pub a local sporting connection as well as a playful underground feel. Reached from an upstairs lobby and spiral staircase, it brought new life to a hidden town-centre space. Its story is modern, but rooted in a building already known for music, socialising and nightlife.
Inside combines a modern street-level entrance with the hidden feel of the old cellar bar below. Upstairs has a brighter, more contemporary look, with hanging lights, barrel tables and signs pointing visitors down into the pub itself. Downstairs, the curved brick-vaulted ceilings and painted brick walls give the main room plenty of character, with long wooden tables, bench seating and a compact bar tucked beneath the arches. Warm lighting softens the cellar setting, while pump clips, posters and framed pictures add personal touches throughout. There’s even a small stage area for live music and events, helping the space feel lively without losing its cosy underground atmosphere.
Drink Offerings – choice of 3 cask ales, alongside a couple of keg beers.
