It’s another new era for the former Slice premises in Ramsgate’s Harbour Street as it begins life as The Silver Compass Sports Bar.
The venue, which has been The Sovereign (2007-2014), The Goose (2014-2024) and Slice (2024-May 2026), has now come under the wing of businesswoman Charlotte Silver – owner of Silvers Showbar also in Harbour Street- and partner Stefano Draper – owner of the Royal Oak Hotel.
The pair are holding a soft launch this evening (July 15) for the England match, with more than 100 tables already booked.
The official launch takes place this Saturday (July 19) and it will be a sports lovers haven with 20 HD screen TVs, pool tables, augmented reality dartboards, music and – soon to come- a pub classics menu.
New mum Charlotte, who gave birth to daughter Ronnie in March, will also be marking 10 years of her Silver Slipper dance school this August.
The 28-year-old said: “The Silver Compass Sports Bar officially opens on Saturday, bringing something completely new to the town.
“We’ve created a venue where sports fans can enjoy multiple live events at the same time.
“The bar features over 20 HD screens, including a huge 98-inch TV. The TVs run the length of the bar and there will be up to six different sports channels shown simultaneously, allowing customers to watch football, rugby, Formula 1, and more at the same time.
“We also have pool tables and interactive AR darts are being installed.”
As well as the sports there will be live DJs every Friday and Saturday night and late opening until 2am at the weekends.
Charlotte added: “Our kitchen will also be opening soon, serving pub classics and light bites. More than anything, our goal is to create a welcoming venue that brings people together.
“We want The Silver Compass to become a real community hub where everyone can enjoy live sport in a great atmosphere.”

GOOD TO SEE A NEW VENUE-IN THE TOWN. ALL THE BEST. I MIGHT POP IN.
Great that one of the few accessible venues is reopening so soon!
Where is she planning on parking her car?
Did he grab her bum in the first picture?
Great news; that part of town has always been an entertainment area. So it’s good to see this closed premises and the other now back in business by Charlotte. Thank you.
Was Ramsgate Space HQ a CIC involved in this ? Kind of doubt it, but they can input a response.
Time tdc + rtc spent some of their government-gifted £29+M cash on installing a bollard in that street rather than the current gate. The gate has done its job. Now open up the street. Improving kerb appeal idea. Just saying it looks like a prison gate.
Stefano and Charlotte know the area.I vote for them to run the Central Harbor area and sack off RTC CIC’s TDC, although the upcoming unitary changes in the area may cause incumbents being tuped away ~
