The Lighthouse Bar in Margate is located at the far end of the Harbour Arm itself. There is usually parking available on the arm, or if you're like me and have a motorcycle, you are able to park directly outside the premises without too much fuss. I usually try and pop down here at least once a month, more if life allows me to. Sometimes I ride down solo, but usually I have someone with me. Every time I've visited, I've always loved the atmosphere. There is decent music playing which can be heard both inside and outside of the bar, however it isn't too loud so as to stop you having a conversation. WiFi is available for free which is great - especially to those of us who cannot get a data signal on our mobile devices. There is a decent selection of drinks available, with a bottle of cider currently costing £5.50. There is seating both inside the bar for the restaurant as well as outside along the seafront offering fantastic views of the sea and Margate seafront alike. You can even walk around the lighthouse itself and find yourself above the bar, looking down on everything below you. There is no toilet within the bar, however there are plenty available along the harbour arm. The staff have always been cheerful and efficient (have had a few good conversations about the motorcycle this year) and the area is always clean. It can get busy at times, but honestly, its a great experience. Highly recommended and I can't wait to visit again!

My partner and I had drinks here very friendly service, (drinks given in plastic cups) lots of places to sit and watch the world go by very busy and popular. Well worth a visit.

Lovely bar with a DJ to enjoy sitting on the water watching Margate go by.

Nice bar, friendly staff shame their opening times are a bit random
A lovely, warm place to walk into, with friendly, helpful staff and an excellent selection of wines (including orange, that we'd never even heard of before) and spirits, with a small, bustling kitchen at one end, sending out tasty morsels ?

Worth it for the view and cost experience. Reminds me of an alpine lodge rather than a bar in Margate.Mostly bottled drinks but still a great experience and unique setting.
