No. 13 Bonny Street, Blackpool

Fairly traditional-looking pub close to the centre of Blackpool (just one street back from the Promenade), with a hint of 'brewers Tudor' about the facade. The interior has a rather rustic look, with plenty of bare wood about the place. Six or so handpumps, with a fairly interesting selection of (mostly) local beers (including a good pint of Englands Roary from Bryson's Brewery). Overall, rather better than I was expecting given its rather unpromising location.

Called in soon after opening time and cleaner was sweeping up and washing floor round us. 6 handpulls but only 1 on so we had the Allgates California. It was in good condition. Lovely real fire burning was very welcome.

We have visited this pub on two occasions, the interior is decked out with police images, a mural on the wall,etc, there were a couple of real ales on sale on our last visit, one being Cartford Gold, from what I recall from 2006 there was a wider range. The pub does some food, but have not tried it.
