About This Pub

Ah, let me tell you about Russ Brown's House of Secrets – it's this delightful little spot in Blackpool that's more than just a bar; it's a proper magical adventure waiting to happen. From the reviews I've seen, folks are raving about the shows, which are packed with interactive tricks and surprises that get the whole crowd involved, whether you're there with little ones or just out for a laugh with mates. It's heartwarming to hear how it brings families together, with everyone from toddlers to grandparents getting a kick out of the performances, and the bar team really adds to the vibe with their welcoming service and tasty drinks. But, to keep it real, there are a couple of downsides – like how the volume can crank up a notch during the acts, which might leave you wishing for a bit more quiet to fully soak it in. Plus, with it only opening on a few days, you'll need to check the timings ahead to avoid disappointment. All in all, it's a gem if you're after something fresh and exciting, but it's worth weighing up those little niggles for a balanced night out.

We visited last night for Russ children's show, it was absolutely fantastic. The children loved it very interactive. And lots for adults. We were definitely entertained for the evening, and I think ever seat was full which says it all. Lizzy on the bar was great also with her cocktails

What a brilliant magic show! Full of fun and unexpected surprises! My 7 year old girl couldn’t stop giggling all the way through and the whole family tried to de- code the tricks after it. 😅 Also the magician has a pair of magic hands to balloons 🎈 !! Total enjoyable experience!

Negative first so we finish on a high. Our whole family found the show far too loud (approx 85dB) somewhat spoiling the close, family atmosphere and unfortunately front of house staff were unwilling to ask backstage to turn it down a little which would have made it much more comfortable. That being said the one man performance was great, geared towards the audience. A mix of a few close up tricks and some bigger stage tricks, some trying to inspire kids to magic (selling a deck of cards and offering to teach kids how to use it after the show was great), others trying to create magical memories. There were screens setup for the close up card tricks so you never missed anything. There's quite a bit of patter to add comedy, which meant it felt a little slow getting started but overall we felt it really great family fun at a pretty good value and the kids were talking about and puzzling over tricks the whole way back home.

Not many places the whole family can enjoy a couple hours out . We had ages ranging from 2 to 54 and all of us enjoyed the show . Just good fabulous family entertainment. Well done!

We visited for our first time ever. It definitely will not be our last! We booked the Ryland’s magic show for our daughter’s birthday and wow 🤩 what a brilliant family entertainment space. Loved every minute of it. We will definitely be back next year. It is definitely a number 1 place to visit in Blackpool 🤫
