    Amazing new venue at the heart of Blackpool. Friendly welcoming staff in stunning surroundings. Full range of drinks from beers, spirits, cocktails, gins and so much more. The best night out in Blackpool.

    A friend and I missed the opening night everyone was raving about, so popped in last night. A great addition to the night life in Blackpool. Its certainly has the big WOW factor inside. All the staff were very professional and happy to serve. The entertainment was first class. We even had the pleasure of speaking to one of the owners who gave us a tour of the Venue. We visited 4 bars and this was by far the busiest. Well done everyone 👏

    What an absolutely outstanding new bar. The owners of this establishment have done an absolutely wonderful job at restoring the original building whilst maintaining its original outstanding character. I will definitely visit this bar every time I'm in Blackpool and the drinks are a very good price too.

    Fantastic bar. Great decor and atmosphere welcoming LGBT+ clientele from near and far. Friendly bar staff and good selection behind the bar. Love the balcony where you can relax and watch the sun set and the world pass by below you. Will definitely be back

    What an absolutely fantastic showbar this is. They have created a venue that is welcoming and fun, in an incredible building with amazing staff. Easily the best bar in town, nowhere else comes close and its in a class of its own, raising the bar for everyone else. We booked the VIP section as it was a special do, and it was well worth it, we had our own friendly (and cute) private barman who kept the drinks flowing, and a view right over the stage for the acts. Definitely our best night out in Blackpool.

    DJ was great. Lovely young barmaid. Manager was a disgrace. Her attitude was appalling. Our group was on a day/night out and we had been using the disabled toilet all evening (using our own key that we had been given through the NHS) and after a few hours of being there, she rudely told us we weren’t allowed to use it in that establishment. We’ve all met through a personal problem we all have and that is why we use the disabled key and under no circumstances should we be told we aren’t allowed to use it. It’s the law to provide this feature for people like us and I feel so upset and ashamed that we’ve been made to feel like our disability doesn’t matter to her and it’s small minded people like herself to why we people with disabilities are made to feel different from everyone else. We come to Blackpool every year but we sadly won’t be visiting this establishment again and we will be passing our experience onto our support groups and more as these places should face punishment for the discrimination they have given. Remember ‘not all disabilities are visable’

    A top class place to hit Blackpool. Have spent the last 2 nights at Sherlocks and the venue hasn't disappointed. Clearly the best frontage on the street and the inside done to a high standard. The owners have worked wonders to add something special to Blackpool. Great owners, friendly staff, great tunes, live acts, brillant lighting system, lovely decor. I could carry on and list a few more..... All I can say is its a lovely venue that is most deffo worth a visit. We can't wait to come back and be part of the growing Sherlock population. We know we will never be disappointed with you guys. xx

  • 1/5 just c. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice looking place but rude dj screamed at us when we went to go upstairs but it was roped off for VIP, it wasn't 'banter' either, no smile on his face, we were told that we didn't look good enough for VIP, loudly, over the mic so everyone stared. New Years Eve and about 20 people in the place, i wonder why.

    Just got back from blackpool and wow what can I say, this venue is outstanding, drinks were cheap, DJ was amazing and so funny, lighting and sound was out of this world and the entertainment was spot on. The place was rocking!!! If I was to nit pick… there was a lovely Asian lady supporting her son who was out in drag and she wouldnt use the unisex toilets. We came in for one drink and stayed all night. Well done guys

    This place is brilliant. The drag act on Saturday night was so funny!! Well worth a visit even if you ain't gay. I'm straight and really enjoyed my evening with my friends on a stag party.

    Had a fabulous night. The staff are so friendly and genuine. When they knew we were having a birthday, they opened the VIP section for us and really looked after us.

    So good to see a new venue in Blackpool, finally! Really good crowd, decent price drinks - lots of different levels and a generally nice place to walk around. My and my friends will certainly be coming back. It's in a central location too.

    Me and my partner went to Sherlock's for the first time on Saturday evening. What a place, clean, bright, modern and lively. The staff were superb . The drag act was exceptional . We will definitely be back again. Especially as we realised we had left a mobile phone on the premises. The manager and staff couldn't do enough to get it back to us. Thank you so much and see you all soon 😃

    What a horrendous, vile, venue. Meant to be an lgbtqia+ bar. No queer people to be seen. Full of stag do's and straight people. Awful to feel uncomfortable in an alleged gay bar, should have stuck to 'Garlands'
