Lifeboat Inn in Blackpool

Ah, the Lifeboat Inn – it's one of those spots in Blackpool that just pulls you in with its charm. From what I've gathered from the reviews, the karaoke is the real star here, kicking off early in the afternoon and going strong into the night, which is brilliant if you're in the mood for a singalong or just soaking up the energy. The drinks selection is spot on too, with a good range of beers that hit the spot without breaking the bank, and the staff go out of their way to make sure you're looked after, adding to that cosy, community feel. On the flip side, it does get mobbed quickly, especially if you're aiming for a table, so planning ahead is a must to avoid standing about. And if you're popping in from elsewhere, you might find the wait for karaoke a bit frustrating – it's all fun and games once you're up, but it could test your patience. All in all, it's a top choice for a relaxed yet lively night out with mates, as long as you go in with realistic expectations.
