49 Marine Terrace

Margate

Another of Margate's nightclubs, this later changed name to "Escape."

It was well known for having free entry and a free bar from 9-10pm on Friday nights. An evening which started elsewhere would usually end here, so I am informed for those in the party mood. It was cheap to get in and played all the popular tunes. Patrons were given a glass on their way in and then they would queue at the bar upstairs for the full hour, to get as many free drinks as possible.

I expect that would have led to a bit of trouble for those who couldn't hold their drinks, but I haven't yet found any articles relating to this.

Local knowledge and photographs required please.
