Raleside Brewhouse in Blackpool

Ah, Raleside Brewhouse – what a gem tucked away near Blackpool's train station! From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this warm, inviting atmosphere that's perfect for unwinding after a day out, with a train-themed decor that adds a fun touch. The staff really shine through; they're friendly and clued up on the drinks, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. Plus, the food sounds spot on – think hearty paninis and toasties that hit the spot, especially with options to watch the latest sports on the big screen. It's got a solid 4.6 rating, and recent reviews are even higher, with people raving about the custom ales and that clever luggage service, which is a lifesaver if you're travelling. On the flip side, it's mostly keg beers on offer, so if you're a purist for cask ales, you might find it a tad lacking. And with not too many reviews out there, it hasn't quite hit the mainstream yet, which could mean it's overlooked by some. Still, for a relaxed pint or a quick meal, I'd say it's worth a visit – just pop in and see for yourself, as it's open most days from around 8am till late evening.
