The Dolphin, Canterbury

Been in here plenty of times and have never been dissappointed by the beer. Fairly sized with a great beer garden. Have yet to eat there but definitely will do in the next couple of months. Nice staff. Best thing is the games! This is where my friends and I go when we aren't out purely for drinking but want to discuss our recent lectures over a game of jenga. Plus it is immaculate.

Casey's, Canterbury

Caught somewhere between 'genuine Irish pub' and 'O'Neill's with a different typically Irish name'. Feels both plasticky and homely in equal measure. I could be wrong (I am a real pessimist when it comes to 'Irish' pubs) and judging this place harshly. Whatever it is, it is quite nice. Beer selection is okay but could do with more real ales (where couldn't?) and it does have a good atmosphere with low lighting and old, creaky, wooden decoration and booth-style seats. Live music is usually good too.

I go in time to time to read a paper on my own and relax with a pint of Murphy's.

The Canterbury Tales, Canterbury

I only go in here because it's the only place to go when everywhere else has closed. Can't say I would go in for any other reason. Normal Canterbury prices (expensive), average quality, staff are really a good bunch though.
