Dirty Blondes

Dirty Blondes is a tucked-away dive bar in Blackpool serving up big pizzas, proper cocktails and a steady stream of live music, comedy nights and late-night energy. Dogs are welcome inside until 8pm, making this a rare find where a proper drink, big pizza and your dog can all exist under one slightly chaotic roof.

Expect New York and Detroit-style pizzas, a full bar, and a space that shifts from laid-back daytime bites into a louder, busier night spot as the evening rolls in. It's the kind of place you find down a side street and immediately feel like you've discovered something a bit cooler than planned, with a mix of sit-down food, drinks and "we'll stay a bit longer" atmosphere.

Dogs fit right in between tables during the relaxed daytime hours, so nobody needs to split up or do the pavement-waiting shuffle while someone else orders. Perfect for a dog-friendly drink and pizza stop before the late-night crowd arrives.
