The staff are friendly but service can be slow, probably due to lack of staff. The drinks are reasonably priced as is the entrance fee. Live bands play on Thursdays (?) during the season. Food is served during the day. At weekends during the season, food vouchers are given out throughout the night to encourage you to eat before leaving the pub to sober up!!

This place has had a few revamps recently, like moving the DJ box and changing the toilets. It's…read morebasically a fantastic place to start/end a night out, or to go for a pub lunch on a weekend. They have a lot of Australian drinks, such as Toohey's New beer, Bundaberg Rum and VB (nasty beer not dissimilar to Stella), as well as the touristy Aussie meals like crocodile/kangaroo burgers. Live music some evenings. Great value to rival Wetherspoons, but you have to pay on a weekend night after a certain time.

Part of the Flares chain, this two floor club has been a staple in Blackpool's nightlife since…read more2000. Only the ground floor seems to be used these days, but it remains one of the town's busiest venues. Music is from the 70s and the 70s alone, which last time I visited did leave the DJ making sarcastic remarks like 'no we can't play backstreet boys' and telling people who the artists were throughout the night. Drinks are really cheap, with shots at £1.25 and bottles about £2.70. There are booths to sit in and a light up dancefloor for boogieing. Entry is about £2 - £3.

When it is busy it is a really top night out, but can often feel a bit lacking when it is quiet! Maybe the building is just to big for Flares to do it justice? Having said that I've had soem great nights in here, everyone loves DISCO! Right? Drinks are reasonable, expecially mid week when they have special themes and offers on!

The Rose & Crown is a decent traditional pub in Blackpool, only a short walk from the seafront and…read moreThe Blackpool Tower. This is more of a family, daytime establishment - the emphasis is on inexpensive food & drinks. The real ale selection is severely limited - the focus being on fizzy lagers and other alcoholic drinks. As a place for a cheap, quick dinner it's actually recommendable as an alternative to the nearest JD Wetherspoon (The Albert and the Lion). It's smaller, less grubby - but the food similarly priced. I chose the "Deluxe Burger" with two (!) 6 oz beef patties, and it's quite a bargain. While the patties are certainly convenience products, they were well grilled - still juicy. The fries that came with it were crispy - not the flabby, soggy kind you usually get with fish & chips. The seating areas inside aren't exactly comfy, but you're not supposed to linger here. There's also a small seating area outside. For a quick meal and drink you can do a lot worse in Blackpool than at The Rose & Crown.

A fairly typical JDW Wetherspoon pub, but in a nice location: On the Blackpool seafront. I.e. if…read moreyou're lucky enough to get a table by the windows. This place is packed at most times during the day, so often you can't find a table AT ALL - even for one person. On weekends, it's hopeless. Cheap food and drinks attract a certain clientèle, so it can get a bit rowdy and loud - especially since it's only one, big room. The Albert and the Lion is certainly *not* one of the more attractive Spoons - it seems a bit moldy and seedy - no changes since my first visit in 2011. The building itself is impressive, but you can't see it from inside. The outside seating area is *very* limited indeed, just a few tables. Food and drinks, the usual: Fairly impressive selection of rotating guest ales on tap (usually 8-10), plus a broad range of alcoholic drinks of every conceivable kind. All at rock bottom prices. Food is similarly cheap, and there are "club" days where a specific kind of food (say, steaks, Indian food, Mexican, Fish Friday) is offered at an even lower price. Just don't expect restaurant quality - it's all convenience food. No place to linger, definitely.

I'm giving this place four stars because it is in the centre of Blackpool and you are not taking…read moreyour life in your hands by entering it! Those unfamiliar with the centre of Blackpool can be reassured that downtown Beirut on a bad day can look like a villiage in the Cotswolds compared to this town-competing stag parties, rampaging drunks looking for someone with a "little too much mouth" (just a slight glance can set them off!). It can be a tad hairy at night when in season. However, this JDW is not like that despite its central location. First, it is very large, with a really big straight bar at the back and enough space to be reassured you will find a seat. There is always a few real ales on as well as the range of very reasonably priced beers and spirits. The food is the JDW staples and none the worse for it. The name of the pub has something to do with a story about..well, Peter and the lion. I can't recall what, but there are quite nice pieces that realte to the title. Overall this place is somewhere I could happilly spend a night in, though to be fair and honest I have only ever been early evening.
