Rye Waterworks Micropub

What an utterly fabulous find. This pub is so well run and has a first class range of draught beers and ciders all well kept. No wonder it has such an amazing atmosphere. I wish I lived in Rye if only for this pub!

The beer is excellent. The food is good, but not great. But you can't beat the atmosphere and the vibe here. It's what a stereotypic nice local microbrewery should be.

Absolutely fantastic pub. It's querky but in the best way. Friendly and talking to strangers is encouraged. Limited food on offer. There's a wide variety of crisps and nuts available plus the best pork pies and scotch eggs I've eaten in years. This place is an absolute gem.

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.

Was on the hunt for a decent bottle shop to grab some beers to take back to our place. The wine shop down the road recommended Waterworks, and told me about their take out policy. Incredible service. Great atmosphere in the clearly popular pub, quick service and super friendly. Left with a 2pt milk carton full of their locally brewed IPA and it did not disappoint. Only regret is that we didn’t have time to come back and stay for a few drinks in person, but will be on our list for our next trip for sure.

Best pub ever. Nice staff, nice beer, and nice local customers. Even though it’s packed, It’s not too loud or noisy, but very relaxing and nice friendly vibe

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.
