When the weather’s good, there really is only one place to be - at the pub. Whether that’s in your favourite local with your mates, or in a sunny beer garden with an endless supply of pub snacks on offer, the sun shining ahead of a Bank Holiday weekend is all about going out.
With the Great British beer garden being the very best space to enjoy drinks, food, and good company in a casual atmosphere over classic British ales, ciders, and hearty pub fare, we asked Blackpool locals to give a shout-out to their favourite pubs of all time.
These are the best of the best, the creme-de-la-creme of Blackpool pubs - your favourite boozers of all time. Some are a blast from the past, whilst others are still very much a huge part of the Blackpool pub circuit.
