19 of the last ‘proper’ old-school Blackpool pubs with amazing history and heritage that are still open today

Loads of pubs have closed down in recent years but these are the ones still standing, still serving the pints in that ‘proper’ old-school pub style.

They’re the places where conversations are had, the ones which put ale choice at the forefront, where you can buy Scampi Fries and pork scratchings whilst sitting at the bar and enjoying a pint. And it’s where go for pool, darts and TV sport. Jay Jackson had his favourite. He said: “I think The Saddle Inn can't be beaten - it's the oldest pub in Blackpool” These are readers’ choices, the Blackpool Pubs they think are the best. Any more to add to the list? Let us know.
