Spyglass Bar

You're walking along the seafront past the usual chaos, and you spot the Palatine Building. Head inside and you've found something that punches above its weight. Spyglass does that rare thing on Blackpool's prom — it takes itself seriously about cocktails without being a complete snob about it. The views over the water are genuinely ace, especially on a clearer day, and it's the kind of place where you can tell the staff know what they're doing behind the bar. Decent spirits list, creative drinks that aren't trying too hard, and a clientele that's actually looking to enjoy themselves rather than just pose. It's become a proper local favourite for a reason.
