user reviews of Washington, Blackpool

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Has the feel of a small chain pub replete with pushchairs and the idle poor imbibing with their benefit brats in tow. The beer though was on top form ( a dark Lytham brew - alas as good as it was I didn't fancy staying)

Popular Greene King pub well in the main shopping area and well away from the touristy bars near the Promenade. The ale selection was fairly decent for a Greene King pub with Greene King IPA, Black Edge American Pale Ale, Phoenix Spotland Gold, Heavy Industry Collaborator, Bowland Buster IPA, Morland Old Speckled Hen & Hawkshead Dry Stone Stout. The stout was nice. CAMRA discounts are offered.

Took my grandson aged 17 at 7:15 on a Wednesday evening to this excuse for a pub prior to going to a show to be told 'No children after 7pm'. I explained that he was 17, not a child and only drinking coke to be told rather impolitely to leave the pub.
Something extremely lacking in this pub, staff courtesy, common sense and me as I will never walk through there doors again,

Pretty much a typical centre pub that sees it's share of tourists and locals that don't really drink ale (It's all Greene King and Old Speckled Hen) - all has that vinegar taste most people mention. Large inside and basic, with a limited selection of everything, and it's usually quite quiet. Only saving grace when I went in is one member of staff who was quite friendly.

If you're a younger drinker - or just a young person at all - I wouldn't go. They are unusually strict about I.D even if you have it. , even asking Star Signs and all, to the point where it's unnecessary (really) - and I've heard this off quite a few people.

Really, I would say give it a miss to anyone.

Friendly pub, smiling bar staff and cheap beer, happy days!

This place is a pub but it thinks it is something else more...but what I don't know.
Plenty of people eating.
The beer was disgusting. Three beers advertised on the bar but only one in use. Smelt and tasted of vinegar - which were replaced with more pints of the same vinegar. A twit behind the bar tried to explain that Green King IPA is supposed to taste like that......

Busy Greene King pub seemingly aimed at families looking for reasonably-priced food but wishing to avoid some of the cheaper but rougher establishments nearer the seafront. It also looks rather smarter indoors than you would guess from outside. Three regular handpumps (including a decent pint of St Edmunds at �2.50) plus one of those fancy IPA dispensers. Overall, nothing special but reasonably civilised.

Greene King pub, only had Abbot and IPA. Basically a Wetherspoons without the beer.
