Daisy, a charming cocktail bar in Cliftonville, Margate, stands out not just for its excellent drinks but for its inviting atmosphere that feels like a friend's living room. Customers rave about the creative and playful cocktail menu, which features unique concoctions alongside classic options. Jessica Huynh highlighted the delightful intensity of the beef fat popcorn and smoked tofu paired with expertly crafted cocktails, all while enjoying the friendly ambiance spurred on by Esme, the resident dog. The decor is equally impressive, with many praising its adorable aesthetics right on the seafront. Reviewers like Jo T found both the cocktails and the bartender's service exceptional, noting that the witty menu descriptions added to the overall experience. The food, provided by Snake Oil Barbecue, is simple yet remarkably tasty, garnering compliments for its great value and quality. While a couple of reviews pointed out occasional slow service, the overall sentiment remains positive. Ruth Tyrie declared Daisy's cocktails the best she's ever had, and Gabs Wills appreciated the friendly yet laid-back vibe. For anyone looking to enjoy a unique blend of atmosphere, flavor, and creativity, Daisy is an unmissable gem in Margate's vibrant food and drink scene.

I wish I got photos of our drinks and food, but the only photo I have is of Esme (the owner's dog), who was taking a little break from greeting and snuggling up with guests. We came by after a dinner in town and got the beef fat popcorn and smoked tofu with soy mushrooms as sides - mmm tasty! The cocktails were so creative and the descriptions were hilarious. I agree with the other reviewer that it felt like being in a friend's living room. The receipt also had the train ticket times too for anyone needing to head home late. So thoughtful. We'd definitely be back!

Adorable little bar with excellent decor, right on the sea front. We stopped in for cocktails and both the ones I had were fantastic, while just reading the menu and the little blurbs for each cocktail was very amusing. The bartender was lovely and helpful when choosing which one to have. Would happily go back!

The single best cocktail I’ve had in my entire life. Food was delicious and great value. The cocktail menu is unique without being wanky. It’s great. Go.

Daisy is lovely, feels like having a drink in a friend’s living room. Cocktails were creative, original (they do classics as well) and delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful. The only thing was service was slow, however we weren’t in a rush and could see that the bartender (possibly the owner) was the only one working the floor and making drinks at 6pm on a Saturday night but I think this was due to his staff being late to work so we definitely don’t hold it against him but suggest allowing a little extra time to enjoy the atmosphere and not stress about time if you have somewhere else to be.

Daisy is a lovely place, good welcoming atmosphere (a Saturday evening) with a selection of beers and cocktails and food by Snake Oil Barbecue. The beers were delicious,.we didn't try the cocktails as we felt beer was more aligned with the food. The food was deceptively simple but simply stunning. Yet again,.Margate delivers a different culinary experience which was outside the usual run of the mill experience.

Absolutely amazing roast!! Can tell the chef cares about the food they put out and the owner and staff (including Esme! ) make you feel really looked after. Came during the storm, felt cosy and warm with delicious food & tasty orange wine friends had the best Bloody Mary they’ve ever had. Miso smoked cabbage and beef top marks. Easy 5*’s!

The food was amazing.. everything was cooked to perfection and so flavourful. The staff was lovely and really attentive. The cocktails were the real star of the show, so unique and delicious. Little Esme was a bonus. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant!

First time in Margate and so happy with the great experience we've had at Daisy's. The staff was adorable (special thanks to the waitress for her advice, smiles and friendly chat... You made our evening !). The food was rich and very tasty and we tried a very original cocktail with miso which we would highly recommend! If we go back to Margate, that's definitely a place we want to go back to !
