The New Albert in Blackpool

Ah, The New Albert – it's one of those pubs that just hits the spot for a relaxed get-together in Blackpool. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, it's got this welcoming vibe that's perfect if you're in the mood for a pint without breaking the bank. The selection of beers is brilliant, and the prices are so reasonable that you can easily settle in for the evening. It's packed with sports memorabilia and screens everywhere, making it a haven for footie fans or anyone who loves a bit of telly with their tipple. Plus, with outdoor seating, pool tables, a jukebox, and even bingo, there's plenty to keep things entertaining – I can imagine it being the ideal starting point for a night out with mates. On the flip side, though, it does lean heavily towards the sports crowd, so if that's not your thing, you might find it a tad one-dimensional. And honestly, while most folks rave about it, a couple of comments feel a bit lukewarm, like it's 'okay' rather than extraordinary. Still, with its comfortable indoor spots and friendly feel, it's worth a visit if you're after good value and a bit of fun – just don't expect a fancy website to help you plan ahead!
