We had tea, coffee and blackcurrant cider. Outside entertainment was not on, but was open. Inside had a lovely man playing older songs. April: doors propped open and heaters on. Pointless having heaters on with every door propped open. Expensive drinks.

We enjoyed a drink at a bar down the bottom of the ramp on North Pier so felt that a walk down to Bloom Bar would be a good idea. We were not wrong and had a really good time in here. No door staff needed on this Wednesday lunchtime and there were a few people in. Music was fairly loud but still at a level to enjoy conversation. Serving staff were very good so wait time at the bar was always kept to a minimum. This is another bar I've been to recently where a Spanish offering, Cruzcampo was available on tap. It was certainly drinkable and is nicer than that "El Alma de Madrid" gnats water Madri! It was sunny, dry but very windy with a rough sea outside but this added to the good ambience inside the bar. Things may be different at weekends or evenings but we were very happy with our visit here.

Me & my mature girlfriend, Denise, came to BLOOMS bar at the end of the north pier.It was a balmy hot Wednesday 3pm afternoon, the sun was glorious and the sky was blue,and a warm gentle breeze filled the air along with fantastic songs of Motown and disco the dj played. Mature couples danced, boogied and drank to their hearts content, reliving their youth and memories the music brought them the fabulous sounds of the 60s and 70s. It was for us 3 hours of total sounding bliss.2 pints of blackcurrant soda with ice,1 pint of orange soda! Teetotal heaven. Thank you dj of BLOOMS, you made our day! Even the seagulls were dancing!

Well as i sit here on the North Pier after being turned away from Bloom Bar when we just tried to get in, apparently now they have a ‘dress code’ but the place was empty, 2 arrogant door staff turned us away and looked like they didnt give a toss, if this is how you want your business then you wont be having ours again!!

We absolutely loved it here. Called in Friday 18th Sept during a two day visit to Blackpool and it was our favourite place. Nothing tacky here! Great staff, fantastic music - dj was fab! Toilets were extremely clean. Drinks were expensive but we were entertained free of charge so no complaints from us. Definitely on our list for next time x

I echo the sentiments of of recent reviews when I went there the place was completely empty with no atmosphere two heavy handed bouncers were at the door, who eyed me up. Like most people who go to the beach in Blackpool we were wearing casual wear as we were with a younger brother in joggers, they said we can't come in as they have a new dress code and trainers and casual wear is now not allowed. They refused our business. We have been to this place on previous years and had a good time. And then we watched as about 10 other desperate groups of people approached this venue and got turned away despite the place being empty, unlike previous years. People were turned away for wearing shorts, trainers , joggers, kids and so for every reason you could imagine, every group of people trying to enter was turned away based on dress code this happened at least 10 times. As I was leaving the pier I said to the bouncer is he trying to get the place to go out of business as I've just watched him turn away every single customer trying to get in over the course of an hour despite the place being empty. He responded by grabbing my phone amd throwing it down the pier. He said I could not film him and I had no right to do this despite it being a public place. Every summer I bring my friends to this pier for a nice drink, this will be the case no more as no one in their right mind goes to the beach in jeans on a hot summer's day. Everyone else he had rejected from this venue seemed to go to the other local bars as we saw quite a few of the people who were turned away at the other bars. Reading about the reviews where the drinks are too expensive and the music has gone downhill and the lack of atmosphere due to everybody being turned away I don't think we missed out on anything and saved ourselves quite a bit of money. If this is how the management want to run this bar now I hope they go out of business so someone else can take over. It's like these bouncers got a kick out of turning everyone away like they were on some mad power trip. Edit, originally I said that the bouncers were wearing body cameras, this was incorrect, my apologies.

Can only give an average review. Good - relaxing oasis in the middle of Blackpool lovely place to wind down and spend some time. Bad - drink prices would have stayed longer but over £22.00 for one round of drinks. If the drink prices were cheaper would have stayed longer

Turned up for drinks after having walked down the pier and expected to end our night there, we had looked forward to it only to be told we weren't allowed in because we were wearing trainers and it was a dress code night, what a joke! It didn't even seem busy and is always empty any other night!! This bar is not going to last if they continue being like this, wind your neck in and take paying customers when you have the chance. Hope they lose alot of money and close down due to lack of customers, definitely deserve it and I'd be so happy😀

We popped into this bar whilst waiting for a show on the other side of the pier. It looked really nice, and a bit of a difference to the rest of Blackpool. However, the barman (the one with dark hair shaved at the sides with a girly bun on top) was surly and rude (to the point of aggression). Considering that, and the fact that the drinks were roughly twice as expensive as anywhere else we'd been in Blackpool, I wouldn't rush back.

My favourite bar to go to when visit Blackpool. The Garden is lovely and is a sun trap so feel like you are abroad. When the Garden is shut the inside bar is beautiful with great views of the Tower and sea. Only downside is dogs aren’t allowed inside so in winter can’t visit with a dog.

Lovely bar with great selection of drinks, vodkas, gins and cocktails. Lovely decor, nice vibe with dj on in the afternoon. Only downside was a bar of this quality could have sold champagne, preferably by the glass.

Wow, me and the Mrs were blown away by this place music fantastic and atmosphere spot on for a sunny Sunday afternoon those, who are moaning about the music being too loud well just turn around and go somewhere with a quieter vibe also staff were friendly including door staff. I thought the prices were ok for such a good venue. So for those who are complaining about them get along to Weatherspoons were it's cheap and quiet as this place is clearly not for you. And just to finish me and the other half are in our 60s and had a fantastic. afternoon. Blackpool should be proud of Bloom.

We were visiting Blackpool and looking for somewhere to stop and have authentic fish and chips! Popped in here for lunch and the portions were small. Fish was ok but would say a medium portion is small. The consistency of the chips just wasn’t right. Charged for ketchup when sitting in (under why for take outs but when you are spending for a family meal sitting in then it should be included). Popped to the loo and went through part of the kitchen (with fridge/freezers) to an outdoor toilet which had only cold water and no way of drying your hands. Avoid!
