Excellent music good food and cheap pints what more could a person want for a night out, great place not been in for years and was pleasantly surprised when I returned. Darts boards everywhere if want to meet up with friends for a game or 2 and even a snooker table in the back to. Got the sharing Platter and it was very nice and easily enough for 2. Well worth a try

I recently visited The Clarence in Blackpool and had a fantastic experience. The prices are reasonable and reflect the quality of the home-cooked meals, with classic British dishes like fish and chips and hearty steaks. Drink prices, including a variety of ales, are also fair. The staff is friendly and attentive, making the atmosphere warm and welcoming. I highly recommend this pub for its great food, good value, and excellent service. Perfect for a casual meal or enjoying live sports on their large screens.

Says on the site it was dog friendly, when we walked in the bar staff said dogs are not allowed. Am glad any way it looked scruffy, rowdy lads playing pool and swearing would not go back its a dump.

Just been in with my family including 2 dogs, all got seated and a lady came over and apologised saying they weren’t dog friendly. We said we’ve been here before with them but again she apologised and said the manager won’t allow them. So I pointed out to the lady that I would like her pass on to her manager that he needs to clean his pub and pointed out spilt drinks all down the wall and that my dogs were too clean to go in there anyway. The lady was nice and clearly a dog lover, but such a shame this pub has gone filthy since last time we went. Walking out to the van we spotted drinks cans, bottles and empty chicken boxes strewn all over the beer garden. Glad you aren’t dog friendly anymore, your pub has gone to rack and ruin and was absolutely filthy inside, and certainly wouldn’t have eaten in there like we intended too. Change of management needed

Did a search on Google for a dog friendly pub, & the Clarence was mentioned as being one. Turns out it isn't. Furthermore the landlord who says he has been there for 4 years wasn't even aware they had a website. They have. Also, no cask ales, no call for them apparently. More like the trend by chain pubs is to foist their chemical rubbish, full of preservatives on us because it suits them & has a much longer shelf life. I didn't stay.

Called in here for our evening meal, the pub seemed like it was very popular with local people, we were the only ones eating at the time and had background noise of raucous laughter and swearing, I was glad I had no children with me, we have eaten here before and it was lovely, but on this occasion it was just average, my steak was tough and I wasn' t offered a steak knife so it was very hard to cut. Perhaps it may be better "in season" if more holidaymakers were in ?

If I could give The Clarence a 0 star rating I would as in my opinion a 1 start is being very generous. We called in for food at 20:20…as soon as we walked in we couldn’t help but notice how dirty it was. We went to the bar to be ignored for 5 mins! When someone finally acknowledged us we asked if we could have food and was sat at a dirty table and given 1 menu to share between 5 of us! There was kids running around and young drunk lads banging into our table. We felt really uncomfortable in the place. When we went to the bar to order our food we stood there while the bar tender served someone…the lady bartender asked the male bartender to serve us as we were ordering food, to which he started swearing about the lady bartender to the man he was serving and totally ignored us who were stood there! After a minute or two and being in total shock at the whole situation…we just walked out without ordering any food or drinks (which I think was a lucky escape) my advice to anyone who Is thinking of going for something to eat in here is DO NOT BOTHER….Just keep driving past as there is a lot of better places to eat in Blackpool

We booked in for family meal. Their was 10 of us. The customer service was good, very polite and respectful. It was really busy when we arrived. Everyone looked happy and cheerful, we ordered 10 starters. They came around 15 mins of order. All piping hot and delicious, the kids meals came out piping hot and they ate them all. Our mains come and what can I say but. Out standing. everything was cooked to perfection. The potion sizes was good enough for myself. We have booked in again and will be telling everyone how good it really is. The bad reviews don’t do it justice ( I here their is a new chef) keep up the good work and can’t wait to return.

called in for a quick pub lunch, ordered 3 jacket potatoes… didnt get it until 1hr 15….a lot of other people who came in afterwards already ate, been and gone. Asked how long it would be as we were thinking of leaving, (after waiting 50 mins) got quite an attitude that “ours is being cooked now, god it wont be long!” - this was the first time we asked. I understand that spuds take that long to cook, but to wait an hour 15 for food. a heads up wouldnt have went a miss? came out as just a mildly warm spud with tuna, - so clearly hadnt been in the oven all that time? no salad garnish etc with it… asked for the side salad also, 10 mins went by so called back to the bar to see how long, to find the server crying… ordered a pot of tea, they forgot about. … i dont think ive ever felt so uncomfortable when out in a new place, really weird experience. pub extremely run down and tired looking. toilets not cleaned we came in at 1 pm, and bin in loo overflowing with tissues and all over floor. wouldnt ever come back. found the staff extremely rude. or having a bad day?

Walked in and felt like the place was closed. Hardly no customers and very dark inside. Very grubby. Sat down at table which was sticky. Had baby with me so had wipes and gave the table a clean and it came up black. Felt dirty walking out. Looks nice from outside. Kids meal was huge so ended eating most myself so not all bad although clearly microwave pizza. Not much healthy option for children.
