Fez Margate is a unique and eclectic micropub located at 40 High Street, Margate, Kent. It opened in December 2015 in the former Card Centre shop premises. Known for its quirky decor and friendly atmosphere, Fez is furnished with a mix of high and low tables, raised bench seating, and is adorned with a variety of memorabilia, including brewery and fairground items. The pub has a small bar counter at the rear with a temperature-controlled cellar room, serving cask ales and ciders on gravity dispense​ (Restaurantji)​​ (Visit Kent, The Garden of England)​​ (Virtual Guide of Margate Town)​.

Fez has become a beloved spot in Margate, praised for its selection of locally brewed ales and the warm, welcoming environment created by its regular patrons and staff. The decor is described as hypnotic and reminiscent of nostalgic themes, making it a visually engaging place to enjoy a drink​ (Restaurantji)​​ (Useyourlocal)​.

Phil Evans, who founded the pub, is an artist and designer and cultivates a community of inclusivity and diversity, often putting on art exhibitions and events that supports the queer community of Margate.
