Absolutely cracking pub. My most favourite I found in Blackpool. So good we ended up coming back on the same day. Yes, a little rough looking inside and out, but we had a great time in a proper pub. Service was brilliant. Massive range of shorts and a reasonable selection of draft alcohol. Paid £2.80 for a Carlsburg and £3.20 for a local Stout, which was excellent! Brilliant range of shots and combinations for £3 each. Ended up trying the birthday cake, Barbie & Ken, then the bumblebee. Finished the evening with a meat and potato pie, which tatsed amazing. Friendly atmosphere even when the karaoke was pumping. Will be back on our next visit to the tangerine haven!
Dave landlord of many years retired and now this place has gone to the dogs. New owner cancelled DJs put prices up too Damp dirty dank and now dead! They will have to invest from their pub in Chorley and you are talking tens of thousands or this will close down very soon
Proper backstreet pub in Blackpool. The outside was not inviting, but we were on a dive crawl ... this didn't win because inside we were surprised at the decent people and their hospitality. Personally, I couldn't drink my pint because it was off ... thats my fault for ordering something a bit more out there that was probably stuck in the lines. Pool table, projector screen... food such as pies etc available. Old decor but clean enough.
An absolute hidden gem. A proper pub! The landlord keeps the beers at top quality with a great selection. Best pint I had during the 3 days we were in Blackpool. People were friendly, landlord friendly and helpful. Food looked amazing, wish I’d gone back now for a pie! I did have the ploughman’s lunch in a packet that took me back years. Not seen them for years and really enjoyed them with a pint. Prices were excellent and really surprised considering the quality. Definitely worth a visit when in Blackpool.
Nice pub decent prices, not over expensive. Get various types of pies .only a couple of points 1, could do with a coat of paint plus parts of the walls need re-plastering 2, hover the chairs/seats. Time when I was in was quiet, but be a great night for entertainment. Ask the staff for more information.
