About this place Flamingo Bar

The Flamingo is the most recognised name on Blackpool's gay scene — a bar and entertainment venue that embodies the Northern gay resort tradition: drag shows, camp cabaret, cheap drinks and a crowd that has come specifically to have a good time without pretension. Blackpool's gay scene is built on this tradition: working-class, Northern, entertainment-focused, and operating on Bank Holiday schedules when the town fills with visitors from Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and beyond. The Flamingo's drag shows are the best illustration of what Blackpool offers that Brighton or London do not: a specific Northern gay entertainment culture with its roots in the 1970s and 1980s club scene.

Friendly but so dead on the Friday night that we went. Other venues seemed busy. Maybe the door charge was putting people off?

Past its best and incredibly disappointing. We ventured here to re-live past times and words cannot describe what we experienced. £6 each entry, a choice of cans of Carling, cans of Strongbow, vodka and mixer or water. Come on?! Fantastic building but such a let down. Please return this club to something close to what it used to be and not somewhere that promises much but delivers a 1 hour window to purchase a limited choice of overpriced drinks.
