Very little known about this one but it seems to change name on a very regular basis. The only information I can find is an empty Facebook page dated 7/August/2011. However, I have just found a photo dated 30 December 2010.

On 2 November 2019 Lauren McDonall of Kentlive.news mentioned this in an article titled "Kent's Most Dangerous Nighclubs - Ranked by Number of Crimes," collected between 1 August 2018 and 31 September 2019. So with the above suggesting the club was open till then, but I'm not convinced.

Operating as a club rather than a traditional pub it seems to last a very short time indeed before it has a revamp, change of name and probably owners as well. Over the years it's been known as "Bassmental," "Soul Bar," "Silk Bar," and "Source Vodka Bar," "Auction House," "Lot 7," but no idea yet as to what order and the years, or perhaps months or possibly days they lasted with these names.

I believe currently (2021) it is running under the name of "Rewind Bar."

Local knowledge and photographs if anyone has any would be appreciated, and when I find or receive them they will be published here.
