What's on
Four karaoke nights, live sport and weekend entertainment
Colin has been running discos and karaoke since 1993, so the Waterfront's entertainment is chosen by someone who knows how to read a room.
Live sport every day
Football, horse racing, Formula 1 and more are shown across four screens, so there is a good view of the action around the pub.
Live entertainment
Look out for live entertainment on Saturday night and/or Sunday afternoon. Check our current social updates for the latest performer and date.

Royal Harbour Radio began here
Regulars and holidaymakers kept asking Colin how they could take his music choices home. The answer became a radio station played in the Waterfront and heard around the world.

Meet the O'Reilly family
Colin and Karen became the Landlord and Landlady of The Waterfront on 9 July 2019. Today they run it with their daughters Hollie and Rosie. The pub came first, then Royal Harbour Radio, followed by the live harbour cameras. Together, they form one Ramsgate community hub.
