The Albert & The Lion - JD Wetherspoon in Blackpool

Ah, The Albert & The Lion – it's one of those classic Wetherspoons spots that you can't help but appreciate for its no-nonsense approach. Tucked right under the Blackpool Tower, it's got that prime location that makes it ideal for a quick stop after a wander around town, with some outdoor seating for when the weather's playing nice. The staff really deserve a shout-out; they're always on the go, juggling orders and keeping the place humming along, which makes you feel looked after even in the midst of the hustle. And let's talk about the prices – grabbing a pint for under £2 is an absolute winner for keeping things light on the wallet. We've had some cracking meals there, like a sausage sandwich that was piping hot and just what you need to start the day, but I'll be honest, it's not all perfect. A few folks have had dodgy experiences with the food, like a watery curry or burnt bits that left a bad taste, so it pays to choose wisely or stick to the safer options. Overall, it's a solid choice for a relaxed catch-up with mates, as long as you're prepared for the crowds – pop in early if you fancy a seat without the scrum. It's got that dependable Wetherspoons charm, with a 4.1 rating speaking volumes about what it gets right, but keeping expectations in check means you'll likely have a grand time.
