Open Mon - Thurs, noon to 11.00pm
Fri & Sat, noon to midnight

Another one of our top three places to eat, drink and chill out in Canterbury, Bramley's Bar is tucked away down Orange Street, next to the more well known music club. From the small doorway it all looks pretty inconspicuous, but once you enter and follow the draped hallway down into the main bar, you are in another world. This place has a great 19th century vibe, and actually gets the 'old fashioned look' spot on instead of just hoping that a few wooden beams will do the job. There's plenty of seating and space, plus armchairs, pianos, a cushioned ceiling and perfect lighting. You woudn't think such a spacious place was hidden away in there. The music is inobtrusive, but is nice and relaxed if you do want to listen. Great food - you can pick and mix your own cheeses and meats, all of which are served on a wooden chopping board, and it's this attention to detail that we love. Bramley's also has the most amazing men's toilets anywhere in town - every inch of the wall is covered in pages from comic books, some of which I read as a yoof. I could easily spend hours in there reliving the adventures of M.A.S.K. or Doomlord. And that's just the toilet!
Bramley's also has a pool table, board games, and a little area out the back for smoking, so you don't have to stand in the street. Free wi-if access is also available.
