About this place Sherlock's Bar

Sherlock's Bar is one of the newer additions to Blackpool's gay village on Queen Street, a short walk from Blackpool North station and steps from the Flying Handbag and Kaos. It leans into the town's cabaret tradition, with drag performers and DJs booked in from around the UK across the week and a smart, modern look that sets it apart from the older pubs nearby. Expect a lively, mixed LGBTQ+ crowd, weekend party nights, and the kind of easy bar-hopping the compact village is built for. Like most of the scene here it's busiest in summer and over Pride weekend; check its Facebook page for the current line-up before you go.

Went in not expecting it to be a gay/drag bar. Had one drink that was enough for me and my wife. Watching men walk round with Thongs on just isn't for me.
