“ Best vibe. Best view. Best bar staff - Amanda, Jaz and Connor. You rock! Thank you for a great evening! ”
“ I love this little bar on the beach just behind Folkestone Harbour station. Plenty of outdoor seating, good choice of craft beers and cider. Staff are friendly, one of my favourite places for a drink in Folkestone ”
“ Popped in for a quick drink and snacks; the FLOC ale was fantastic, and the cod cheeks and chips were lovely, my daughter couldn't help but pinch one of cod cheeks. Managed to bag seats inside, was pretty busy out in the beer 'garden', with plenty of family's and well behaved dogs too. One of my favourite spots in Folkestone, especially if you're visiting the beach or harbourarm. ”
“ Really lovely coffee and hot chocolate, the interior is interesting with a really nice beach vibe. Loving the seating that looks out to the beach and sea. The music they play here works extremely well too. Definitely a place to visit in Folkstone for drinks. Would have been nice to have maybe a selection of cake with the coffees but not a major loss. ”
“ Really nice hot chocolate, works well if you’re visiting in winter. Great interior, friendly staff, wonderful view for what it is. It’s quite interesting that it used to be a shipping container. Also the music choices were pretty good, so you enjoy your time there with quality music. ”
“ A perfectly located beach bar, with a cute decor and plenty of outdoor seatings. Had a frozen daiquiri, which was really lovely flavour, not too sweet and nice frozen texture. (Even with a real strawberry and a straw with a super cute design too , we ended up having one more). You can easily take out drinks and sit by the pebble beach or one of their outdoor seatings with a great vibe. ”
“ Nice place to stop for a drink and just take in the view of the Harbour Arm or out to sea and France beyond if you're lucky. Nice cappuccino. Dog friendly outside. ”
“ Amazing atmosphere and vibes! Great for sunset drinks! Very clean pebble beach, great for SUP sessions. ”
