I joined BINGO.
It was very fanny and exciting.
It was good experience for me.
Beer was so good too. Especially, I liked BEAR ISLAND.

Very friendly staff. We loved the wings, nachos, chips, cod, and chips, and curry. The live music was great. Our party member with a stick managed to handle the few steps without difficulty. There was table tennis outside which both adults and kids enjoyed. The Friday was busy but didn't feel crowded. The Tuesday evening was quiet

We recently held our presentation and awards evening at The Old City in Canterbury, and it was truly a fantastic experience from start to finish. The venue itself is charming, stylish, and full of character?perfect for creating a memorable atmosphere for a special occasion.
A huge thank you to Simon, who was instrumental in helping us organise the event. He was incredibly accommodating, kind, and went out of his way to ensure everything ran smoothly. His attention to detail and genuine care made the planning process stress-free and enjoyable.
The rest of the staff were just as amazing?professional, friendly, and always on hand to help with anything we needed throughout the night. It was clear they all take real pride in what they do.
Thank you so much, we will be back.

Great pub with an amazing vibe!
The staff are super friendly and helpful, and the food is absolutely delicious. There?s a great atmosphere, with a ping pong table in the garden, plus a pool table and dartboard inside. Perfect place to relax and have fun ? highly recommend!

No-one in the bar at seven on a Thursday evening. Not the greatest of atmospheres but the beer was fine.

Went in with friends but the only draught cider was some fruit stuff. Only other option was bottled so we left. For a sports bar on the first day of the Cheltenham festival this is poor

The second time I've visited this well situated bar in the centre of Canterbury, great atmosphere, friendly staff and plenty of tables available to sit down and enjoy the lovely beer.
This bar is fantastic to watch the football in the summer and definitely worth a visit.

We've recently started stopping by this great local pub during our dog walks. The staff are incredibly friendly and always spoil our pup with treats. They offer a good selection of beers and fun board games. The outdoor space is perfect for summer as well!

Cool bar that's worth a visit if you are in the area.

We've been to Canterbury many times but only just recently discovered The Old City Bar. Tucked away in a side street it's definitely worth seeking out. Inside is large and comfortable but outside is where this place really excels. Whether it is the largest beer garden in Canterbury is anyone's guess but it's a lively space and very very popular with Canterbury's student population. We stayed for food which wasn't bad either.

I visited the pub on 17/08/24 I'm a wheelchair user and found entry to the pub difficult because the front door steps were very high and would suggest maybe a portable ramp for one of the doors would be a good idea x
