New operator confirmed for legendary Blackpool nightspot Brannigans in Market Street

The former Brannigans bar on Market Street - famous for fun-filled nights out in the 90s and 2000s - is to reopen under a new operator, it has been confirmed.

According to Kenricks Commercial Estate Agents, a let has been agreed but the agents are keeping tight-lipped about who will be taking over the venue.

A spokesperson for Kenricks told the Gazette: “I can confirm we have a party proceeding on this however, it is yet to complete.

“We cannot reveal any information on the proposed tenants at this time.”

The listing on the Kenrick’s website described the Market Street venue as a prominent three-storey corner property in Blackpool town centre, offering a strong year-round trading location close to the Promenade. Currently operating as a dual venue, it houses Brannigans on the ground floor and Hush on the first floor, with office space above.

Also included in the description are details of the modern open-plan bar, dance floor, DJ booth, and multiple seating areas, while the first floor is described as including another bar, dance space, DJ booth, lounge area, kitchen, and customer facilities. The second floor provides several offices, along with a kitchen and toilet.

The listed price for the property, which can be adapted for alternative uses subject to planning permission, is £65,000 per annum with no ingoing cost and a £20,000 deposit required.
