Sullivan's Bar in Blackpool

Ah, Sullivan's Bar – it's one of those neighbourhood gems in Blackpool that really shines with its friendly staff and that inviting outdoor area, ideal for a sunny afternoon pint or a casual evening catch-up. I love how they're so accommodating, whether it's bringing drinks to your table or being great with families and even dogs; it's those little touches that make it feel like a proper local haunt. The music's spot on too, suiting all sorts without overwhelming the chat. On the flip side, though, it can come across as a tad exclusive if you're not part of the regular crowd – one person shared how it felt unwelcoming as a gay couple, which is a real pity in such a vibrant town. And if you're after real ale, you might be out of luck, as it's not on the menu. Overall, it's worth popping in for a try, but go with an open mind and see if it suits your style; it's got plenty going for it, but like any pub, it's not perfect for all.
