Wednesdays Quiz Night. Good prices, atmosphere, and it's another doggie friendly pub. Again, mainly, but certainly not exclusively, older generation.

Gay-friendly fun pub.
Gay friendly. Various themes throughout the week. Cabaret. Bingo. Karaoke. DJ every day. Drinks Promotions. Another ITP venue (ex Flashmans), some say it is yet another one for the drag queens, but with the replacement Flying Handbag not having the same much loved character and 'feel' of the old one, this is probably its true successor. Popular venue.

Popular basement cabaret / disco club open Sun - Fri from Noon until 2am and on Saturdays from Noon until 3.00am. Nightly Cabaret, with extra Cabaret in the afternoons at Weekends and on Bank Holidays.
Gay. Cruisy, but with a good friendly atmosphere! Regular Drag / Cabaret / Strippers / Charity Events. Disco / Dance floor - but not primarily a venue for the dance enthusiast. Stage. Bar food available at expected times. Regularly cheap (quality brand) drinks on offer. Cabaret every night with extra afternoon acts at weekends and Bank Holidays etc. Watch out for the complimentary chips and chicken nuggets that are often put on the bar and tables late Sunday afternoon - scrumptious! Open every day from noon, making it an ideal 'pop in' if you've been shopping or doing the tourist thing. A major fundraiser for Aids support charities and a very popular venue that has to be on your list. Resident Host: Stella Artois.

The multi-levelled, multi-million pound five times larger new Flamingo where State-of-the-Art comes as normal and you leave reality at the door. The Ultimate in Clubbing!
Ultra-modern main dance floor with high-tech sound and lighting. Go-go landing. Multi-levelled venue with stylish bar areas dotted everywhere. Top level has another dance floor often with a different theme. Themes vary throughout the week - check the "What's On" on their website for the days you are here.

The way in, through the new modern glass covered walkway in Queen Street, provides the perfect opportunity and setting for all the limo-leopards and prissy queens to arrive here and to make their entrance in style! We can't say any more than it really is the ultimate in clubbing. Not to be missed!

Not a Gay venue, but gay-friendly - however, don't get too amorous! Award Winning Entertainment and Fun with STYLE! A very popular venue which is a must! Not a gay venue, but it does get its quota of gay people, it's here mainly for the tourists to ogle at the famous lady-boys, led by Betty Legs Diamond and DJ Zoe, doing numbers from all the major shows. Tables may prove a bit expensive for the average gay punter who usually favours a standing ticket for £3.00 on weekdays, £6.00 on Saturdays, or £4.50 on Sundays. Saturdays can often be a bit too Stag & Hen for some gay people. Open Tuesdays to Sundays.

A Fun Pub/Club with great food and a good atmosphere. Quality entertainment is provided by the International Drag Artiste, Roxy Hart, with the support of deejay Lady Wincey, who plays a variety of music ranging from traditional old camp right up to modern dance, and the regular appearances of various guest cabaret acts.
Probably best described as Gay-friendly (so don't get too amorous) because so many of the straight tourists love this place too! Roxy Hart and Lady Wincey with the talented staff (who often get involved in entertaining you) make sure that there's rarely a dull moment. Always a good night out - we defy you not to enjoy yourself. On several open levels, complete with a scenic balcony (providing a sea view) that can be a welcome relief on a sticky night, it's yet another Blackpool venue not to be missed! Many make a bee-line for here once the show is over at Funny Girls. The venue also often provides more outside seating under the balcony.
