Clementines

Head to Clementines and you'll find yourself in one of those rare Blackpool spots that actually takes mixology seriously without the London attitude. The bar's tucked away on Highfield Road, far enough from the seafront chaos that you can actually hear yourself think. Staff know their stuff—whether you're after a textbook Negroni or something off-menu, they'll sort you out. It's the kind of place where regulars prop up the bar alongside curious first-timers, and nobody feels out of place. The drinks are consistently good, prices are fair for what you're getting, and there's zero pretension about the whole thing.
