Fuggles Beer Cafe

Superb bar with excellent range of cask and keg, ciders, gins and a decent array of bar snacks to absorb that alcohol. My personal favourite is the toasties. The Tonbridge branch is centrally located, with 4 cask beers on and a huge amount of keg beers on in a very broad range of styles. I had a pint of golden and a pint of IPA on cask, both reasonably priced, plus a Hazy IPA, a DDH IPA and an Imperial Stout on keg (all of which were at prices not out of keeping with most London craft bars). The staff were friendly, the atmosphere was relaxed and the bar is both child and dog friendly.

Bar far the best place for a drink with friends in Tonbridge. The beers on tap are amazing and really well kept (as you might imagine), go to their twitter account @FugglesTN9 to see what's on tap. Not just brilliant beer, Gins, Whiskys and much more with wonderful service. Don't expect a massive long food menu, after all it is a "beer cafe" and they know what they do well and I love their pickles. Top tip go for their sharing plates if there are enough of you. Can be busy at peak periods, but in a good way. Dogs welcome and there's always one or two enjoying the atmosphere with their owners, and perhaps a beer sausage or two. Update: still fantastic and table service has been continued even after Covid measures have been stopped, which is nice to be able to sit with friends and order from the menu printed daily; it's not the fastest service in the world, relaxed and perfectly suited to the place.. I know many people might be put off by some of the Sours, Stout/Dark or even the strong beers but I'd thoroughly recommend order a few 1/3 pints of them at the same time so that you can compare them, some of the best beer halls/cafes offer a pallet of beers so that you can do just that, so recreate that sampling for yourself.

I popped in for drink and was impressed by the huge selection and choice of sizes. I had a delicious cider suggested by the barman, who was friendly and helpful. I had very tasty toasted sandwich too. I felt comfortable on my own and liked the vibe of the place. I will definitely return on my next visit to Tonbridge.

Very relaxed & friendly vibe, welcoming to women as much as men (there were more women than men when we went) with a wide range of drinks. I had a well-kept pint of Tonbridge Brewery bitter, my wife had a Kombucha. Friendly atmosphere (relaxing music and company), staff were knowledgeable about their drinks and welcoming & helpful. What more could I ask for
