The New Mount Pleasant in Blackpool

Ah, The New Mount Pleasant – it's one of those classic Blackpool pubs that you hear about and think, 'Sounds like a proper local haunt.' From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the place really shines with its warm, welcoming staff who go out of their way to make you feel at ease, almost like you're catching up with old friends over a pint. The drinks are a highlight too; grabbing a beer for under £3 is brilliant value, and they've got a good selection that keeps things interesting. Plus, the atmosphere picks up with events like karaoke and games nights, which sound like a fun way to spend an evening with your lot. But, let's be straight, it's not all roses – there are tales of the odd bit of trouble, with some saying the crowd can get a bit rowdy or even unpleasant at times, and the toilets are apparently in a right state, which is never ideal when you're out for a good time. Still, with an overall rating hovering around 4.4, it seems most people overlook the downsides for the affordable fun and friendly feel. If you're heading to Blackpool for a casual night, it's worth a go, but maybe keep an eye out and choose your timing wisely to avoid any hassle.
