About This Pub
Ah, Common Bar & Kitchen in Blackpool – what a lovely little find it is! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with this welcoming vibe that's just perfect for catching up with friends over a meal. The food really steals the show; think tasty options like birria tacos or a hearty bottomless brunch that's fresh and full of flavour, leaving you satisfied every time. The staff are an absolute delight, always friendly and attentive, and it's heartwarming to hear how they start recognising familiar faces, making you feel like part of the crowd. Plus, those cocktails are top-notch, some of the finest around, and the prices feel just right for the quality on offer. It's also brilliant for private dos, with the upstairs space ideal for celebrations. On the downside, though, it's shut on Mondays, which might throw a spanner in the works for weekday visits, and the hours don't start until the afternoon, so it's not the place for a quick lunch. All in all, it's a solid choice if you're after a relaxed spot with great grub and drinks, but do plan ahead to make the most of it.

First time trying common and the food was great I’ll definitely be going back, I had the birria tacos and they were delicious really enjoyed them can’t wait to go back to try them again.
Sunday was my 5th visit to Commion and I honestly can't recommend it highly enough. The food and service are consistently excellent—always fresh, flavorful, and reliably enjoyable. I’ve never had a dish I didn’t like. The cocktails are standout too—easily some of the best in the area, shout out to those spicy margs.
I recently organised bottomless brunch for my netball team, and it was fantastic value. There was plenty of food, and the fact that everyone could choose their own cocktails instead of sticking to a set option made it even better. Service was a tad slow at first, but given how busy it was, it’s understandable—and they more than made up for it by bringing us a bottle of prosecco while we waited. A really thoughtful gesture. Once the food arrived, the drinks kept coming, we all loved it.
I've been for the 50% off tuesdays... honestly what a steal!
Already can't wait to visit again soon and I know our family have already booked in again after how good Sunday was. Thanks so much to the team at Common!
Been here a few times and the place is amazing, staff have started to recognise me and my friends cause we come here so much!
The food is perfect, never had any issues at all, and the price is fair for what you get, it all feels very authentic and we'll continue to go here again and again.
Amazing service, great food! Bottomless brunch was as expected.. faultless and plentiful… would definitely recommend 🍹🍸
It was my first time visiting common last night and the food, service and atmosphere was amazing. The lad working on the bar was welcoming and friendly and the server was great also. The food came out so quickly too and it was amazing. Great prices too. We will definitely be returning.
