About This Pub

Ah, Spyglass Bar – it's one of those places that really stands out in Blackpool, isn't it? From what I've gathered, it's got this fabulous mix of a cosy bistro feel and a sophisticated cocktail bar, all set against the backdrop of the seafront, which makes it ideal for a relaxed evening out with friends. The cocktails are a standout; they're made with fresh, trendy ingredients and come in all sorts of classic and creative flavours, with plenty of options for mocktails too, so everyone's catered for. The staff seem like absolute stars, always taking care to get your drink just right and adding to that chilled-out atmosphere with their friendly chats. It's also great for watching live sports or grabbing some tasty tapas inspired by global cuisines. On the flip side, though, it's not the cheapest spot – those drinks can add up quickly, which might put off anyone after a quick, budget-friendly night. And, honestly, a few folks have pointed out that the bathrooms could do with a bit more attention to keep things as pristine as the rest of the place. Overall, I'd say it's worth a visit if you're up for treating yourself, but keep an eye on the bill and maybe plan for a group outing to make the most of it.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The cocktails are absolutely spot on – they're well-crafted with fresh ingredients and a great variety, making them a real highlight for anyone looking to unwind with a drink.
  • The atmosphere is lovely and relaxed, with smart, sophisticated decor that draws from the 1930s glamour, perfect for catching up with mates or enjoying live sports on the telly.
  • Staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always going the extra mile to make your visit memorable, just like having a chat with a helpful bar mate.
  • Its prime spot on the Blackpool seafront means you're right in the heart of the action, with stunning views and easy access to other attractions.
Cons
  • Drinks can be a bit on the pricey side, often over £10 each, which might make you think twice if you're out for a casual pint or two.
  • The bathrooms aren't always up to scratch – some reviews mentioned cobwebs and a need for better cleaning, which is a shame in such a posh setting.

Excellent cocktails, it is on the pricer end and I would recommend to attract more footfall that they need to lower the cocktails prices to around £8 each. But other than the price, the cocktails were lovely and the decor is very smart.

Lovely bar, the bartender took so much care over our drinks and there was a lovely chilled out atmosphere. Excellent variety of cocktails, mocktails and other drinks. Would definitely come again!

The Spyglass Bar has become our favorite go to place in Blackpool. This is like a second home, and the cocktails are top notch, really, we’ve done our fair share of research around town. Our bartender, Michael, was the nicest and most caring person you could wish for. He loves his trade, he puts his heart and soul into his drinks. Love it! 👍

Lovely but expensive cocktails made from scratch not with pre-brought syrups but expensive. Taste good and table service. Bathrooms have cobwebs and could be cleaner which is not what you expect at over £10 per drink.

Love to come here when visiting Blackpool.. mocktails and cocktails are amazing my favourite is the strawberry daiquiri well worth the money. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended. Didn’t know they did food so can’t rate that
