Laughing Barrel is the kind of small Margate stop that suits a slower, more local-feeling drink rather than a big, noisy night out. It is a micropub in Cliftonville with real ale, cider, lager, spirits, wine, soft drinks and bar snacks, plus outdoor seating, so it works well for an easy pint when you want somewhere compact and characterful. The feel looks community-led rather than flashy, making it a strong option for people who like independent places with a proper neighbourhood pub heartbeat.

Dog Policy:

Dogs are welcome inside at Laughing Barrel, as long as they stay calm, close by and out of the way in this compact micropub space. Bring the polite pub energy: paws on the floor, no barking at the bar snacks, and give other drinkers room to perch.
