CAMP

Head up Northdown Road towards Cliftonville and you'll find yourself in one of Margate's friendliest corners. CAMP isn't trying to be anything other than what it is: a proper local bar where the staff actually know your name by drink two. The stripped-back interior—all exposed brick and warm lighting—sets a scene that's inviting rather than Instagram-bait. You'll find thoughtful cocktails done without pretension, a lean wine list that actually makes sense, and the kind of atmosphere where you can have a proper conversation without shouting over house music.
