About This Pub
Ah, The Royal Oak – it's one of those classic pubs that you stumble upon and think, 'This could be a hidden gem.' From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the staff are an absolute delight, always up for a chat and making everyone feel like part of the gang, which really adds to that warm, community feel. The prices are spot on too; you can enjoy a decent pint without worrying about the cost, and it's brilliant for casual meet-ups or even lively events where the atmosphere just lifts your spirits. On the downside, though, there are a few things that could do with some attention – like the toilets not always being up to scratch, which might make you think twice about lingering too long. Overall, it's a solid spot for a relaxed evening in Blackpool, but it's not without its rough edges, so I'd say go in with an open mind and you'll likely have a good time.

Still no soap in the gents, I only had a beer to see if it had improved..... Sadly not!
Well enjoyed it here worth a visit friendly staff and good prices too
Called in because it was raining 🌧 and was pleasantly surprised with homely feel with friendly staff
Loved every second of our time there. It was a charity day and the way everyone pitched in was perfect. Local or not this place is top notch. No air's and graces just as it should be. We will be back. Our 6 year old son danced the day away on the dance floor and the people were very friendly. Our kind of pub.

Wow! This pub must of been a gem in its heyday. Just wow. It still has a room for pool and a room snooker room. The staff are fantastic, really friendly. The regulars are a great bunch of characters and make it a great place for people watching. Beer is the usuals thats priced at a friendly level. I must get back here when they have a band on as it's an amazing space that must sound equally amazing. Not to say this is a loud pub. It isn't. You could easily come in here with your dog and the racing post and have lovely afternoon. Worth a visit and definitely gets a thumbs up from me.
