The Waste Land

Head down to Eastern Esplanade and you'll find yourself in proper Cliftonville territory—the bit of Margate that's quietly become the place locals actually want to be. The Waste Land sits here like it's been waiting for you to discover it, all intimate lighting and the kind of bar where the person behind the counter actually knows what they're doing. You're getting proper cocktails here, the kind where someone's thought about every element, paired with a vibe that's relaxed enough to settle in for hours but smart enough to feel like you're somewhere that matters.
