About This Pub
Ah, The Stanley Show Bar – it's one of those places in Blackpool that really knows how to put on a show and make you feel welcome. From what I've gathered from folks who've been, the drag acts and comedy nights are an absolute riot, with hosts who are as funny as they are charming, and the DJs keep the tunes flowing all evening. It's brilliant for a casual get-together or something a bit special, like their Sunday family shows or Wednesday drag cabarets – there's always something to suit whatever you're in the mood for. The drinks deals are spot on, keeping things affordable while you enjoy the clean, vibrant space that's just buzzing with energy. On the flip side, I've heard a couple of tales about staff being a tad strict on little things, like not letting you pop your beers in the fridge, which can feel a bit unnecessary when you're trying to relax. All in all, it's a solid choice for a fun night out; just go in with an open mind, and you'll likely have a whale of a time with mates.

Good entertainment but ordered 3 bottles of beer and asked to keep 2 in the fridge and was refused. Stupid. They even let you do that in wetherspoons
We had an absolute ball in here on Easter Sunday for my sisters hen do. The act top hat and heels were just hilarious I’m still howling at the Diana Ross act. Really friendly staff, great choice of drinks and friendly punters who get stuck in
Dragalicious was outstanding voice like an angel brill sense of humour and very warm welcoming definitely my favourite
Great bar located right near Central Pier. A variety of comedy,drag, and music acts on stage plus open mic nights. There is something for everyone. Drink deals on every night, and this place has the best DJ in Blackpool DJ De-Lux we love you 😍
Brilliant addition to the show bars in the central part of Blackpool. When we visited on a Saturday afternoon it was busy with a friendly and inviting vibe. There was a great mixture of patrons young and old. We all sang along with the classic tracks and karaoke. The sound system and lights are amazing. The beer prices are very good. Cheaper than Ma Kellys.. Brilliant well worth a visit.
