Thanet Loop Ale Trail

The Thanet Loop Ale Trail is a delightful way to explore the vibrant micropub scene along the Isle of Thanet’s coastal towns: Margate, Broadstairs, and Ramsgate. This self-guided pub crawl utilises the Thanet Loop bus service, which operates every 8–10 minutes throughout the day, making it easy to hop on and off at various stops. The bus runs daily, with services extending into the evening and late night.

By clicking on each stop, you can access detailed information about the featured pubs. This will include a photograph, a link to the map, operating hours, available beverages, and in some cases, live beer boards. In instances where multiple pubs are located at a single stop, you will have the option to select from them. If only one pub is present, the information will be displayed immediately.

Embark on a micropub crawl along the Thanet Loop bus route is a delightful way to experience the unique charm of Kent’s coastal towns — Margate, Broadstairs, and Ramsgate. The Loop bus operates in a continuous cycle every 8–10 minutes, seven days a week, making it convenient for hop-on, hop-off adventures.
