1887 The Brew Room

Reviewed By thomasmG7353YY - Offenbach, Germany

The Brew Room is a fantastic, comfy pub north of Blackpool city centre. They make their own beers on the premises [5 hand-pumped ales available], and there's also a decent selection of guest ales. All beers are modestly priced, and kept fresh. It's a family-friendly place, kids are allowed until 8 p.m. The décor is fairly stylish and very comfortable, with a number of designated sections to sit and relax. Home-made smoked sausages [Excellent, and only 4.5 UKP] and oven-baked, freshly made pizzas are available at all times. On Monday nights they have a pub quiz, which can be very lively [I "ran" into one]. The staff are friendly and competent [in sharp contrast to the nearby The Hop!], food was served quickly. I actually visited the pub *twice* that same day - as Blackpool doesn't offer very many options for real ale lovers. Highly recommended for this town, it's only a short walk from The Blackpool Tower and The North Pier.

Comedy Station Comedy Club

The Comedy Station Comedy Club is Blackpool's first ever and Lancashire’s only purpose built comedy club! We first opened in 2002 and in 2019, we opened our very own dedicated comedy club, right opposite Blackpool Tower (not the side where the sea is!). We are the only comedy club in Blackpool that brings a completely professional line up, with comedians from shows such as Mock the Week, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Live at the Apollo and more. Shows every Friday & Saturday. Comedy... it’s all we know and it’s all we do.
