Rye Waterworks Micropub

What a brilliant pub! It’s got such a brilliant atmosphere. Everyone is so welcoming who works there. And the beer selection they brew is fantastic. The hazy was absolutely delicious. Sat there for a good few hours taking in the sights. Will definitely be back.

This pub is a whole new level of dope! The owner’s a legend, and the place doubles as an antique shop. Yes, even your seat and table are up for grabs lol! The drinks are fantastic.

The only CAMRA Good Beer Guide pub in Rye. Liza is not sure why as Rye is wonderful and full of great pubs.( might be my afterlife Heaven!) Stayed for two rounds as the beer / cider choice is superb. Ticked off three new breweries. Super pork pies and Scotch eggs. They encourage you to share tables. Some front outside seating. Like the idea of flushing the loo with Sharp's Doombar. All it is good for says Liza.

A very cute pub with a good selection of local brews. The atmosphere was amazing and what a gem that we’ve stumbled upon!

Absolutely brilliant pub a must visit if you like a real ale. The landlord brews a lot of the beer down the road in an old waterworks, hence the brewery name. Pub is small, but Dave, the landlord, has turned that into a bonus. He will move people about and sit them together, so you have to talk to strangers. There are quite a few regulars, and they will chat with anyone. I defy you to leave this palace without a smile on your face. In fact, Dave will do his utmost to make that very unlikely Oh, and the beer is great and very well priced. I've been through the card over the last 2 days and didn't find one I would not drink again. Food is simple, pork pies or scotch eggs, so don't plan on dinner here, but that said they were both very nice and great to fill a little spot between beers.

The perfect ale house in my opinion.. great range of beer and cider to choose from. It has character and a great social feel. But for me the cheese club on a Sunday is the highlight of my week..

Scotch eggs and pork pies available. Delicious. Also many flavours of crisps. We enjoyed the Kicking Goat ciders. Great atmosphere.

Really enjoyed this place, great atmosphere and so friendly. Most importantly the beer was amazing 👏

David just won another Camra award for real ale and in his style he gave 100% of the credit to his team. It's probably the most popular pub in Rye.

Great to see that this fantastic micropub has survived the Covid scare. Dropped by for a few pints again after three years, and it's as lovely as ever. Great local real ale & cider selection, very friendly service (this time by the owner himself, among others). A lot busier than when I first visited (they were brand new then), and as before, many of the decorative items and even pieces of furniture are also for sale. A great place to hang out, friendly patrons ... just great! P.S.: I once created this shop site and later told the owner to claim it. And he did. ;)

This was the last pub we visited on our recent day trip to Rye (06/12/2019). We got there around 17:30 and the place was very busy. The range of beers was amazing for such a small place and each half pint we had was absolutely perfect. Such beautiful beer in such an interesting and charming place. If I lived in Rye, I'd be drinking in here every night.
