Bar Nothing

Bar Nothing in Margate is one of those Cliftonville spots that feels part bar, part lounge and part arts venue, with a slightly offbeat edge and a strong creative identity. Dogs are welcome inside, so nobody needs to do the pavement shuffle while someone else enjoys the drinks and atmosphere. The listings point to live events, screenings and late opening, giving it more of an alternative hangout feel than a traditional pub.

The "bar lounge cafe on a cliff" description captures the seaside oddness and relaxed vibe, and the indoor welcome means wet-weather plans stay intact. It's the kind of place where drinks come with a side of creative energy, and dogs can settle in while their humans soak up the slightly eccentric Margate charm.

Best for people who like their pubs with personality and their dogs by their side, Bar Nothing offers that rare mix of arts-venue edge and dog-friendly practicality, all with a cliffside backdrop and a welcoming door for paws and people alike.
