Dunes Hotel, Blackpoolback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Fairly large open plan pub on the Lytham Road. Has a fairly modern feel to it and looks like it has recently been decorated. Five real ales were on - Greene King IPA, Taylor Landlord, Black Sheep Best, Thwates Wainwright and Everards Tiger. I did find the pub a little too 'commercial' for our liking. With menus on display at all tables, it was fairly obvious where their priorities lay. Old pictures of Blackpool could be viewed on the walls.

Only 2 beers on the 5 handpumps, so chose Hart Ice Maiden. The food menu looked good, and was so reasonable we decided to eat here, and the steak pie was good. Couldn't manage the puds.

Hit the pub later on after the darts, busy but could still get served, bitter improved and a wider selection than our last visit.Looks like we hit it on a bad day last time and although I probably wouldn't eat in there, it caters for our real ale needs

when i went in they had a new menu i thought the choice was great and all dishes were very reasonable mostly under four pounds .i had several pints of guinness on par with pints i have had in dublin and my mate drank black sheep was equally on good form . the staff were pleasant a big lad seved me i think his name was warren .

GBG Listed Pub on the main road between Blackpool & Lytham , 5 handpumps feat B Sheep,GK OPA,TT Landlord,Theakston,& Bombardier so nothing amazingly out the ordinary. Service was quick and friendly though and it's deffo worth a visit if passing, 7/10

We had a very disappointing final pint of the night in here on Saturday. The Black Sheep went as
he was pouring it and the replacement Theakstons was undrinkable. Very rare to see all 5 of us
leave a pint.
Admittedly we had been in the Taps in Lytham prior to this so it is perhaps unfair to compare the
2 but also the pub did seem very quiet compared to previous visits.
Hopefully this is a one off and we'll back there in July prior to some more World Matchplay

Reasonable food, normally a selection of at least 3 cask ales plus the usual suspects.
Always made to feel welcome in here, beer garden at the front gets the sun but is quite close to the main road.
We normally start in here before moving into Blackpool centre or vice-versa
Roll on the World Matchplay semi-finals on 25/7/2008
