Frenchman’s Cove in Blackpool

You know, when you step into Frenchman’s Cove in Blackpool, it's got that cosy, down-to-earth feel that just draws you in right away. The staff are brilliant – always chatting and making sure everyone's sorted, which really makes for a relaxed time with mates. Prices are spot on for a good value night out, and they've got a cracking selection of drinks that won't leave your wallet empty. The atmosphere is what stands out most; with bingo, quizzes, and sports playing on the screens, it's easy to lose track of time and have a laugh.
