The friendliest bar in town

Predominantly gay, particularly straight-friendly on some nights, Churchills Bar, in town-centre Topping Street, is open all day, every day.

Here you can relax, chat, drink, dance, sing, eat good pub grub and enjoy live entertainment all year round. And on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, you can do it all for an extra hour when Churchills is licensed until midnight.

Why not try your luck at Boozy Bingo on Tuesday nights? You never know, your winnings could pay for your night out! And Tuesday is also Quiz Nite with the promise of lots of laughs with the fantastic Dotty Doris (Barry) the Queen of the Quizmasters.

Whatever your tipple - Carlsberg, Tetley's and guest ales are served here - you can knock back the cheap drinks on Wednesdays with Happy Hour from 7pm. And if shorts are your poison, it's worth paying a visit to the doubles bar.

Ex Music Hall Tavern compere, Frankie Whittle is in residence every Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Listen to the best of Blackpool duos/vocalists every Saturday night from 9.30pm and swingalong with The King of Swing, Kyle Porter, who entertains on alternate Sunday evenings.

Do you fancy your chances as a singalike Kylie, Elton, Elvis or Robbie? Everyone's welcome to do their stuff when Ben puts on his hilarious Barmy Karaoke, alternating on Sundays with an 'Open the Box' competition, hosted by In the Dark Murder Company's Ben Muir.

Starting soon, ladies and gents' darts nights on Mondays - call in to register for the teams and have your arrows at the ready!

Churchills, known as 'the friendliest bar in town', is available for hire for meetings, parties and charity events.

Blackpool's Gay and Lesbian Transport Social Club hold regular meetings here. Further details, tel John on 01253 622036.
