Hard one to judge this as they do their own beers and don’t serve the likes of Carling, Fosters etc but for real ale this is a destination pub and prices are reasonable. Brew room is top notch on the cleanliness side, tables and glasses always cleared away quickly and toilets are looked after and checked during the day.Ĭost wise…. The quality is very good though on the up side and they will allow you to order food from their other venue (West Coast Rock Café) to be delivered to the pub (west coast rock is fab by the way and not far away!)Ī massively important one for the mum of our family is clenliness, we’ve walked out of places before because toilets aren’t clean enough or theres still plates and glasses left on tables. We’d suggest with younger kids either a shorter stay for food or ensure you’re able to keep them entertained with a comic or electronic device.įor food, the choice is small in terms of variety available on site, basic pub fayre, the menu is pretty much limited to hot dogs, pizzas and loaded nachos. There’s very little by way of entertainment tailored for children there is a table football and some board games but that’s about it. This isn’t really a venue for younger kids, the pub is more a pub that allows children rather than families with younger children being the target customer base. The milkshakes are the type you’d get from a dedicated milkshake bar with a range of sweet treats you can include and our kids always love going especially for that! For us visiting as a family, the big sales point has to be the amazing milkshakes and hot dogs the have available. Hosts an on site brewery (Try the Wonky Donkey IPA!!) This pub is based in the centre of the town, it’s owned by a local family who also own other eating and drinking establishments in the town.
In no particular order………… – The Brew Room Photo taken June 2020.įamily owned and run real ale pub near the winter gardens. We’ll try to keep our views as objective as possible except for ‘general vibe’ which will just be ‘how comfortable did we feel walking in and sitting down for a drink’….and as they’re not open currently, we’ll take a stab from memory regarding price if we can’t check online. In this Blog, I want to run through a few pubs we have frequented in the past and present with our kids and try to give you an indication of how they fair in general terms of:
Luckily, whilst there are still some places like that, they’re few and far between now (though the one Im referring to is still open incidentally!) and whilst theres still more non family friendly pubs in Blackpool, the number is growing and I expect will continue to.

Its quite a turn around from the Blackpool of old – we once had a walk down the prom as a family mid afternoon in the height of season (something we do quite a bit) where there was a young lad touting for customers for a pub down a side street (which will remain nameless!) he said ‘come in ‘nameless’ bar, 2 free shots with your first drink’, ‘Nah, thanks, but we have our kids with us’ we said, to which he replied, straight as anything ‘thats not a problem, they just need to be out by 11’. Blackpool has grown to be much more family focused in recent years, where as say 10+ years ago, families with children wouldn’t be allowed in any but a select couple of pubs away from the front, (….and to be fair, even if families were allowed in, you’d probably think twice whether to go in anyway), there are now a number of pubs which are not only child friendly, but are actively geared towards accommodating families and children’s needs.
