Gay Bars in Blackpool |
 |
 |
Those looking for great
unpretentious camped-up fun will not be disappointed in Blackpool,
as the town is packed to bursting with drag queens and gay-friendly
pubs and clubs.
One of the biggest hits in gay Blackpool over the years is drag cabaret
show Funny Girls [map]
on Dickson Road. Of course, these days the audience is more hen
parties than gay couples but it’s still worth checking out if
you want a few laughs.
Situated next door to the Funny Girls’ establishment is Bar
B [map]
, a large retro club, playing mainstream 80s and 90s music
to a fun-seeking mixed crowd.
The newest gay club on the block is Roxy's [map]
on Queen Street, which has a Gothic-style interior, sea views from
the balcony and attracts a fairly mixed crowd, including plenty
of drag queens.
Blackpool’s main gay street is Talbot Road, where you’ll
find an array of fun and stylish bars, including Pepe's Bar
[map],
a huge basement bar with a friendly atmosphere and good choice
of drinks.
Just down the road is Mardi Gras [map],
where local drag legend Stella Artois rules the show. This is a cool
bar with great disco music and cabaret entertainment every
night of the week.
Located next door to a hip-and-happening gay nightclub, The Flying
Handbag [map]
is situated near the end of Talbot Road. This place is usually bursting
at the seams with partygoers and has a more relaxed atmosphere than
some of the other gay bars.
And then you can head on to the 1,800 capacity superclub, The Flamingo
[map],
which has four floors and two large dance floors, and is open until
2am six nights a week. This place attracts an attractive young crowd
and plays great cheesy music.
