Margate Arts Club

Margate Arts Club is a queer-led arts club and bar at 276 Northdown Road in Cliftonville, running since 2015. It's a small room with a good sound system, and the programme mixes drag nights, queer cabaret, performance art and dance nights with workshops. The Queer Knit group meets here, and the Queer Cuntry country night has used it. House rules ban homophobic and transphobic behaviour. It isn't a gay bar every night, as the crowd follows the event, so check the listings at margatearts.club first. Google gives it 4.7 from about 70 reviews. It opens on Thursday evenings and from 18:00 until late on Friday and Saturday.
