Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Friendly and quick service, good range of beers, ciders and gins. Perfect for takeaway onto the beach. it is a micro pub so limited seating but plenty on the steps on the beachfront if warm!

A good variety of well-kept beer. The landlord and landlady are friendly and welcoming. The prices are reasonable. The overall atmosphere in the pub is relaxed, engaging and friendly. I found the background music a little distracting, but that's my only criticism.

This is one of our favourite micro pubs in the town . We often walk into town for exercise or shopping and normally stop off for a drink . We love the selection of ales they serve and the ladies drinks . Prices are good and Shaun and his staff are very welcoming and friendly

This place just ticks every box. Great beers, super service, well priced, lovely views to the sea and just so friendly. Decent selection of wines and gins too.
The test is always will we come back?....100% when we are next in Margate we'll be here...

Nice selection of real ales , which you can test before you order . Bar staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Small cosy pub , well worth a visit if you are in Margate old town and like decent beer .

Visited this micro pub recently. It is a little out of the mould for a micro pub with its contemporary look but I have to say it is really nice. The view is super and a visit at sunset is a must to savour with a beer. I like my beer and the only downer was that all the beers on offer were in the 4% abv range. Would be nice to see a weaker 'session ale' and something a little meaty to top and tail a visit. May have just caught the board wrong on my visit. All things considered a lovely establishment and I wish 'Harry Rednapp' all the best for the future.

Two months into its existence and the Two Halves goes from strength to strength enhancing the reputation of Margate/Thanet as the micropub capital of Britain. If you are a visitor to the town or a local yet to enjoy a great pint, a friendly atmosphere and stunning views why not pop along. You definitely will not be disappointed.

Get a window seat in the afternoon and stay for a few very pleasant hours - taking in the pub ambiance, sea/sky/sunset with copious ales.
The name 'The Two Halves' could be alluding to the old Land Lords Half i.e. he always has a half a pint of beer but it's never empty either x2, or is it rhyming slang. Anyway, who knows or cares when a bar is this good all that matters is being there.

I loved this tiny brewery. A lovely lady served me; and when one of her customers spilled her wine she quickly cleared up the spillage and poured the customer another.
Even a diet coke was a reasonable pound compared to the other bars and cafes in the area.
