The Lifeboat by Floc.

Floc's brewing taproom on Market Street where proper craft beer meets proper pub atmosphere. No pretence, just good beer and better company.

You'll find yourself on Market Street in the heart of Margate's town centre, stepping into a space that feels like it actually belongs here rather than trying too hard. The Lifeboat is Floc Brewing's own bar, and it's got that relaxed confidence of somewhere that knows what it's doing. The crowd's a proper mix—locals propping up the bar, groups catching up over pints, people who actually care about their beer without being annoying about it. The taps rotate with Floc's own brews alongside guest selections, and you get the sense the people pouring know every single one. It's the kind of place where you can nurse a pint for hours or sink three in an evening, and nobody judges either way.
