Blackpool Bars, Pubs & Clubs
Blackpool’s nightlife attracts a diverse crowd ranging from stag and hen nights to members of the gay community. Most of the town’s pub, bars and nightclubs are found in the town centre, in the area opposite the North Pier, and few could be described as quiet. If your ideal night out is a relaxing pint in a cosy pub you’ve picked the wrong town.
