Common Bar & Kitchen in Blackpool

Visited for my sisters 40th birthday celebrations. Absolutely appalling service. We went as a group of 8 and had booked the bottomless brunch. There was another group of approx 8 seated near us and three tables of 2 downstairs. We had 3 drinks in two hours! When we went to the bar after receiving just one drink in the first 40 minutes of being there we were snapped at and told “it’s table service!” so we let them know we were ready for another round and come someone come and take the order? He barely looked up from the iPad and said “I’ll be up in a minute” Our food order wasn’t even taken until we had been there for an hour and 45 minutes. The slots were for two hours. When it arrived the food was tasty but barely warm, never mind hot and some people only got parts of their order. The chicken in the tacos was freezing cold and we ordered extra sauces that never came but we were charged for! We did ask if we could have more drinks with our food but we were told absolutely not. Even though we were a pre-booked table and they took 1 hour and 55 mins to get the food to us…. We asked during one order if we could also order a few small glasses of Prosecco to toast my sisters birthday, this was a cheeky request but as service was so painfully slow and the Prosecco was an option on our BB choices we tried but were flat out refused this. One round came with only 7 drinks and when my sister queried where the other one was we were told “it’ll only be a minute” being a landlady myself I know a vodka and Diet Coke does not take 20 mins to prepare but that’s how long it came to come out. The rest of us had finished our drinks by then! They advertise that you get bottomless chips and dips when having bottomless brunch, you don’t! We asked more than three times for them but never got any. Upon asking for a manager the lovely young waitress, who to be fair, was working really hard said she would get him. She also told us she was sorry for the slow service but she was supposed to be working downstairs and him covering upstairs. He came up and listened to us but was very surly and unapologetic. He eventually says we could have another round of drinks and they would knock off one of the brunches. He disappeared again. When we asked for the bill he hadn’t knocked one off and the extra sauces we had asked for but didn’t get were still on there. We had to wait again for the waitress to find him to make sure she could take it off the bill. Honestly, a laughable experience. Get better! Shocking “manager” slow, painfully slow server making drinks and cold food. The only saving graces were the young waitress who was lovely and I imagine the food would have been lovely had he been there to take it from the kitchen when it was fresh and hot!

Wow - food, drinks and service were amazing. Superb margaritas 2 for £14, absolutely amazing. We had birrias and a couple of sides plus 2 margaritas each. Bill was £53 - incredible value. It’s a gem of a place!

Saturday date night . . good DJ . . good atmosphere . . just a really good night ! Hidden gem of a place that we’ll be paying another visit to (if only to try the bottomless brunch !)

This is the best bottomless brunch we have been to and we have done many! The cocktails are amazing all freshly made the food is fantastic - book it you will not be disappointed

Matt and Kieran were absolutely fabulous tonight, had the best time and they were both so attentive to our table even though it was so busy! Best girls night ever, great atmosphere and great service!

Had bottomless brunch with friends Great food , great service and great choice of food and drinks Our Server was polite and attentive

Wonderful food and service, just a shame we couldn’t reserve our table for longer, as we were ready for more cocktails. Next time we’ll double book! Definitely worth a visit for wonderful tacos and nachos, amongst many other options

Hand on my heart, this is one of the best bottomless brunches I have had. The cocktails were strong and plenty. The music was really good and the staff were amazing. We are already looking at future dates.

Went here for Bottomless Brunch last Saturday. It was excellent Superb staff and service Fabulous Food Amazing cocktails

Bottomless brunch. Glory was awesome the best waitress ever. So helpful. Made the afternoon amazing. Awesome, awesome, awesome.

I really Am so gutted for a very special occasion today for my mums birthday 7 of us bottomless brunch I love this place today what a disappointment from coming on to leaving you can tell the difference to ordering from main menu to the bottomless Brunch I also had friends downstairs who where also disappointed with the whole experience of your going to offer bottomless brunch then step up to it so 2 hours to eat and drink waited 40 mins first drink then the food missing half the order and it was Luke warm this was a celebration and we've left feeling 😔 £240 bill big dissapointment

Amazing service, food and drinks! Tacos we're amazing!! The birria tacos we're outstanding and honestly some of the best churros we've ever had! Highly recommended and will 100% be back.

Delicious food. Excellent service what else can I say!! Both of us are vegetarian and there were plenty of options to choose from. It was excellent value as well.

This place is one of my favourites, they have launched a new menu & you can tell it's all made fresh. The food not only looks beautiful but it is absolutely stunning. We got to catch up with the manager Kieron who is always smiling & welcoming. He is a credit to the common bar. Highly recommended, one of Blackpool best restaurants.

Great food, staff were accommodating Kieron in particular checked up on us and made our experience a great one. Good price, good food.

Great service and food. Value for money. New menu items worth the visit. Always consistent on quality.

The food was amazing and came so quickly. Kieron our waiter was so lovely and attentive, could not reccomend enough, had a great time.

Great food great service. Brilliant little bar for a good conversation with friends. Really good food and fantastic music playing throughout the night.

One of my favourite spots for dinner, love the atmosphere and the food is amazing! Staff are lovely and recommend the best food and drinks.

Saw the reviews on tripadvisor and whilst away with work decided to give it a go. Friendly staff, delicious food. The birria tacos were excellent - would reccomend!

Excellent meal, super super tasty, great staff & great value for money & great atmosphere totally recommend

20 of us attended Common bar last evening and the service and food was outstanding. The staff are very friendly and accommodating ensuring any dietary requirements were adhered to. The restaurant has a great vibe and a real fun venue.

Came in last Saturday night for drinks with family and friends. There was a live DJ on and the bar staff and management made us feel very welcome. The cocktails were amazing and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be back again soon. Thank you and...

It was the First time we went and it certainly won’t be the last. Loved the place, very relaxed and casual. The food was soooo good. Staff were brilliant. Went on a Tuesday night the place was buzzing. Cannot recommend it enough. ❤️❤️

This was mine and my partner’s second visit to the establishment and I must say they improve with every visit, the first time we attended was just short of a master piece this time they nailed everything was perfect from start to finish. Special thanks...

Walked in and there were quite a few tables free, so sat down as we have done in the past! My husband went to the bar to get a drink got us only to be asked if we had a table booked! No he said!...

Never had a bad meal at Common, I went earlier in the week but have been a few times over the last 12 months! The portions are on the smaller side but due to the prices being so reasonable, we got to try different bits...

I brought my sisters to Common bar, I have been before but they have not. As expected, they loved it as much as I. Real fresh food & cocktails served here. Once again we was looked after by Kieran. He made sure we always had...

They don’t even deserve one star. We received disrespectful and disgraceful treatment. I booked this back in July , it was actually for my sons 21st birthday as he loves Mexican food . Big mistake, when we went they couldn’t find my booking although I’d...

Top notch food, great choice of beer. Really friendly and efficient staff!!! Had the Shredded Beef burrito and paprika fries. Really good but quite messy!!! 👍🤣

Can’t recommend this place enough. Great food, drinks and staff. If you’re passing through Blackpool, be sure to pay them a visit!

We eat in common about every month always very good, they have opened the new Blackpool food market so lost a couple of staff there the new team are excellent, Great food Value for money Super atmosphere

arrived at 5pm for a early dinner expected to sit downstairs there were only 4 people there but was taken upstairs where there were nobody there asked the waitress why we couldnt be seated downstairs she said she would check we followed here downstairs and...

Dined here and loved our experience! My daughters favourite food! Ordered tacos, burrito, nachos and fries! We all had a little bit of each plate! Great food, and flavours! Very reasonable on price! We would definitely return! Well done team common!

When planning our trip to Blackpool we wanted to find somewhere a little different for my birthday lunch. I'm so glad we found this place. On arrival we were greeted by a friendly face, there was a slight technical difficulty as our booking couldn't be...

Massively impressed with this place I cannot express enough how happy I was with our visit! Before we got there it was packed even outside which instantly told us it must be good with how busy it was! I rang beforehand as we were travelling...

Gutted to be writing this..... but went last night to our favourite place to eat and it was really not up to the normal standards, the girl serving us really was not happy to be at work and had no hospitality training, not a smile...

Just had to write a review for this restaurant . Amazing amazing amazing food in quirky setting . We were a group of 10 celebrating a birthday in Blackpool . The food here is some of the best Mexican food I have had and we...

Fantastic food. Was tempted to back the next night. Staff lovely as well. In fact I think the best Mexican food I’ve eaten

Super chill space with good tunes and nice staff. The food was incredible. I went on taco tuesday which meant 3 tacos for £3. The cocktails were also immense and i would deffo return

Good Mexican food, but very small portions so order a few sides... I don't drink, so can't comment, but friends said it was good for a cocktail..!

I came across the Common Bar and Kitchen on the Internet, I booked our table in advance for our little get away!!! This place is a hidden Gem and all staff and venue just relaxed and modern. THE FOOD AND TOMATOE JAM .....IS OUT OF...

Struggled to get in because we assumed a Wednesday night would be dead but couldn't have been anymore wrong. However the staff were great and we were soon relaxing with drinks and perusing the menu. We opted for pork birria tacos, beef burrito, paprika fries...

Nice enough, food ok but nothing stand out or special, cocktails overpriced with too much ice. Walked past initially without realising the restaurant was there so needs clearer signs outside, toilet blocked and no toilet roll. Needs a bit of an overhaul all round.

We’ve been quite a few times and the food is always so good and fresh and an absolute bargain at £1 a taco on a Tuesday! 9 tacos, loaded nachos and 2 drinks for under £20 is a steal. Good friendly service as always!

Excellent food and great cocktails at a fantastic price, plus the service it great too. I would highly recommend this place and we will definitely return.

Food was really good (I'll let the picturesspeak for themselves) & so was the service. Would highly recommend giving this place a try.

Common bar has a lovely atmosphere, the food is delicious and so are the drinks. Highly recommend this restaurant.

What an absolute gem of a place. We'd booked an early table (5pm) as we were going to a show at the Winter Gardens. The menu isn't huge but the food was excellent. My wife had the Tacos I had Burrito, with Nachos to share....

Had an absolutely fantastic meal, with really tasty food. The service was excellent and everyone dealt really well with a range of allergies. Good menu, good range of beers and grat value.

My wife likes this kind of food a bit more than I do and she'd give it a 4. Having lived in the US for 3 years I found this disappointing. Its ok but we don't do this particularly well as a country. Nachos and...

Nice venue , pleasant staff and great cocktails BUT Food tasteless Tried chicken and beef burrito and loaded nacho’s

Food perfect 👍 drinks so much care taking geting them made staff very friendly could do enough for us there was a big group of us so we changed the tables around and thay helped us honestly carnt wait to return thanks to the chefs...

Celebrated my 23rd birthday at bottomless brunch. All the staff were very efficient and nothing was too much for them. They even hid with some cakes for me whikst I went to the toilet. What a brilliant team & venue. Will definitely be back !

Fabulous restaurant with amazing food, great atmosphere and perfect service! Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Blackpool. Thank you!

We visited today with our dog. The staff were really friendly and gave our dog some water as we sat down. We ordered our food which came super quickly! We ordered a chicken burrito, halloumi tacos, paprika fries with garlic aioli, and pulled poss nachos...

Fantastic quirky little eatery with amazing service and food. Arrived on a wet and windy Saturday evening greeted and shown to our table. Menu on first glance was limited but we all had something different inc the vegan dishes. Was amazing food and so tasty...

I went Wednesday night with 2 work colleagues after a rather busy day in the office and what a brilliant place we "found". A sign offering Mexican street food outside converted terrace house near to the office pointed the way, and we weren't sure what...

Pre-theatre tea. Friendly attentive service, great tastes, decent beer. Relaxed and informal, street food style.

My wife and I visited on Sunday for a date night after she heard about the place online. We were not disappointed! The staff were friendly and accommodating, the decor was great, the atmosphere was good for a Sunday evening, and most importantly the food...

I booked for my husbands 40th and we were a party of 18. Tne staff were great and gave us the first floor and let me put up decorations (they even kept an eye out in case the birthday boy arrived early so they could...

We’ve eaten & drank here several times since opening . Love it! The food is so tasty & flavoursome. Great service too. Great addition to Blackpools bars & restaurants.

Wow!!!! We booked the bottomless brunch after hearing sick great things about Common Bar and we were not disappointed! Everything was spot on, the staff welcoming, friendly and attentive. The food was amazing and the cocktails delicious. We will be returning very soon and would...

Friday night birthday tea out. The food was absolutely lovely, well done the chefs. service was quick even on a busy night so we enjoyed a few cocktails as well as a bottle of wine. Entertainment in the form of a live duo were on....

I have heard so many good thing about common bar, we have turned up to the bar once before but unfortunately they was full. Tonight we booked in. The food was delicious, our waiter was Kieran. We certainly will be back.

Amazing as always! Food was beautifully cooked with great service from Kieran and the team. Cocktails are phenomenal, especially the amaretto sours. Thank you again guys, we will be back soon!

We walked in, didn't book a table. Was told it would be about 20 minutes, so we sat and waited at the bar. An hour later we got a table. Food service was fast but our waitress seemed like she was having a bad day....

We've been a couple of times before, and trust me this place just gets better! We had booked this place prior to going to a concert. Definitely recommend the shredded beef tacos, the sweet and spicy chicken wings, and if you have room for dessert...

Birthday bottomless brunch bash with family and friends. Found the whole experience brilliant. It was easy to book online and it was clear what bottomless brunch involved, from food to drinks. We chose the 2 hour slot from 2 till 4 and that's plenty of...

Really delicious bottomless brunch food and cocktails with friends. Birria Tacos were amazing. Dietary needs met wonderfully. The only tiny thing to add was that we went just as it opened, sat upstairs & the kitchen door was open. The smoke made our eyes water...

We booked a table for 5.30 on New Year’s Day, great service and a very interesting ,different & tasty menu

Good drinks and better food. Service was top notch. Food came at a quick pace as did the drink. Staff extremely polite and were welcoming

I visited recently and enjoyed some food with a drink, and I have to say the food is outstanding. The venue itself has such a nice vibe to it, the staff are great also.. not too overbearing at all, especially Kieran, he had great recommendations...

We went on a Monday night and it was really quiet. The portions are significant. If you're adding anything else consider sharing a burrito. The burritos, wings, fries and nachos were all great

Great little place. Fresh, tasty food, very good cocktails and beer, warm atmosphere, excellent tune selection, and staff were brilliant. Spent less than £100 for two kids, three adults, started, mains, desserts and drinks. Just finishing off the nachos and Birria and Tacos now for...

Date night with the hubby. Tacos and burritos. Both enjoyed our food and drinks. Very accommodating. Would recommend this hidden treasure!

Absolute gem of a place. We booked and it was a good job we did because the place was packed. Food was amazing and reasonably priced, we ate every last thing! Good beer, nice cocktails. We’ll be back.

Wow, we loved it here, the ambiance was amazing as was the food. We visited last Saturday evening and were not disappointed. Amazing value for money. Would definitely visit again. Only down side was there didn't seem to be any management plan, a little chaotic,...

Without a doubt this is my find of 2022! The food, menu, drinks and staff are all amazing. If this place isn't franchised, it should be. I can't think of a single town in the UK where it wouldn't succeed...

Ramdom evening out with friends for food and few drinks. After we finnaly decided what to eat the food came quick and did not disappoint was absolutely devine full of flavour! Drinks where also just as gorgeous would recommend the cocktails! The staf polite happy...

Great food, drinks, service and value in this lovely off the beaten track gem. Our party of 6 including a vegetarian, a nut allergy and a dog enjoyed the tacos, nachos and burritos.

Cannot recommend this place enough! Our previous local Mexican will never see us again. The food at common is outstanding quality and value for money. Well worth a visit.

We visited here for my partner’s birthday after the highly positive reviews on trip advisor and it did not disappoint. It is common but with a touch of elegance (like pretty woman). The server was incredible (Kieran) was polite and friendly and was very knowledgeable...

Honestly I love this place. The atmosphere, the staff, the prices but mostly the food! And with a cheeky cocktail to go along with it these are the best nachos ever.

Great cocktails, the food was amazing and the lads playing the live music were fab - very talented, plus the staff were so chilled out and attentive 😁 a great little place with a lovely atmosphere just what Blackpool needs 👌🙌🌮🍹😃 xx

We had a weekend in Blackpool for my birthday and fancied something that was a little off the beaten track, and this place was amazing! The staff were super friendly, it looked great inside, and the food was so tasty and huge portions for the...

First time here, friends haven’t stopped talking about this place, so whilst in Blackpool we dropped by. Initially a large table had just left so tables being sorted, was quickly seated and order taken. Drinks arrived swiftly and the food soon after. OMG 2 burritos...

Little date night to Common Bar tonight and as always it did not disappoint. The DJ played some great tunes and the service was on point. We ordered pork burrito, chicken Birria tacos, nachos & chicken wings. Everything was delicious and piping hot. The amount...

We were looking for something a little different and both love Mexican/Latin food so decided to give this is a try! It was a very quiet Sunday evening so we had the place to ourselves more or less. Anyway the service was great, the food...

Great food with good options on the menu/variations. Really nice atmosphere with a clean and vibrant seating area. Thank you

Favourite place in Blackpool for a date night, never had a bad meal here! The chicken birria on the new menu is to die for, the cocktails are amazing and the staff are lovely.

Another trip to Common last night and it gets better every time! The Birria on the new menu is ridiculously tasty. Staff very accommodating/friendly and the Drinks and Beer selection on draft is always on point. Will be back very soon.

I have visited Common twice now and will definitely be back again. The food is fantastic, the service friendly and the cocktails are delicious. The bottomless brunch was really good.

THE best Mexican food on the Fylde coast by a country mile served in a chilled cocktail bar setting. Food is subtly spiced & flavoursome without too much heat & without that stodgey mass of grey refritos that can be a horror-show in many Mexican...

Came into Blackpool to do some shopping and stumbled accross this south American themed gem of a place! Service was attentive, polite and unobtrusive, the food was to die for and Corona on tap was a bonus. Stylish interior and superb value for money, if...

The food was great and atmosphere was lovely. The venue was beautifully decorated and staff were nice. A must visit for Blackpool.

We came for bottomless brunch and I can not rave about this place enough. One member of the party was diabetic and so we had to make changes to the drinks options. I messaged Joe (the manager) the day before who honestly could not have...

Had another fabulous pre theatre meal.Service was fabulous as was food.brilliant atmosphere big shout out to Brad (I think that's right) who served us polite.efficient and friendly well done guys!!!

10/10 best tacos I’ve ever had, can’t recommend it enough! Great staff, great service, great food and great drink.
