I visited a handful of Blackpool’s best spots in one relaxed wander, starting at the Tipsy Seagull, a bright, easy-going little pub where it was far too simple to settle in for longer than planned. Cask and Tap was next, with its smart metallic décor and excellent choice of beers, before a quick bus ride took me to the friendly, no-frills Cask in Layton. Rhythm & Brew Room added some proper history, Raleside brought a modern feel, and Shickers Tavern kept things ticking along with live music. A stroll through Christmas By The Sea added a dose of festive warmth, and I ended the day at Albert’s Ale — cosy, characterful, and the perfect finish. https://micropubadventures.co.uk/2025/11/29/29-11-25-blackpool/
