Sundowners gay bar margate

The kind that sees you having a spin on the pole or pulling your back cutting shapes. The kind that sees you watching Tia Kofi or a trashy Dolly Parton impersonator on the balcony as the sun goes down while you drink an iridescent blue cocktail served in a fishbowl.

The kind of night that takes you two days to recover from, but you still think it was worth it.
