The Lanes Micropub

googled things to do in dover as we were there for the night before going on to calais the next day as foot passengers.this pub had great reviews so we sought it out. when we first walked through the door i thought we were in somebody's front room, small place with a couple of tables and some easy chairs, no bar. was greeted by the owners who fetch your drinks once you have made a choice from the menu on the wall.there were just over half a dozen people in, 4 were fellow travelers from the midlands and the other 3 locals, everybody chatted and laughed together for the entire time we were in the pub, it was a completely new experience, the owners and their daughter were also lovely. if you're in dover for a night and you like a decent pint and a chat, this place is a must.

Voted Best Micropub 2018. No phones allowed, no smoking, no swearing, (it’s a pound in the charity box if you do) and no TV. You’re here for the friendly atmosphere and the beer.

I enjoyed this pub first time I visited, bit I persuaded a team do to start here. Even the hardened larger drinkers loved it and the cider fans enjoyed working their way through the extensive cider menu. Great place and an attentive landlord. Even the team cocktail drinker found some great find to keep him happy.

Very friendly pub with great service from the owner. A real ale pub with a good selection of beers, ciders and lots of charm. Enjoyed the atmosphere chatting to the locals. Will visit again if in Dover.

My first visit, what a great place...so friendly...try the toffee vodka 😋 great service from owners make you feel so welcome...

Excellent service!!! A really nice place to have a drink and an amazing talk with your mate!

Lovely family run micropub, well worth a visit. Great atmosphere and nice beer selection.

Very nice place to drink. Had been looking at going to the lanes for a while but just never got round to it. Has a very nice drink selection and I have never been to a bar without a bar! You just tell them what you want and they bring it to your table and go get your change, very good space saving idea. Another thing to remember is it's a no phone bar which I like but I completely missed the sign on the way in and me being me got a message while I was in there and got told to swiftly put it on silent. Perfect place for a cosy winter drink. 😊
