While staying in Blackpool for mine and my daughter’s birthdays, we went looking for a family sports bar to watch the Belgian F1 on Sunday 27th July (we’re big F1 fans!). We popped into The New Philly Family Bar in the morning to check if they’d be showing the race, and the friendly barman reassured us it would be on, no problem at all.
After grabbing some lunch, we returned to find the F1 playing on multiple screens, exactly as promised. The atmosphere was welcoming, the drinks were great value, and the barman (I wish I’d caught his name!) was absolutely top-notch. A real friendly, accommodating man.
When the race was delayed by a heavy downpour, there was a slight overlap with the start of the Women’s Football Final. The barman stood his ground, making it clear over the radio that the majority of guests were there for the F1, and ensured we all got to watch without interruption. A big thank you for that, it made the afternoon for us!
Great prices, great service, and a great atmosphere, the only thing off-putting was the toilets need some attention. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Blackpool. Highly recommend for any sports fans looking for a family-friendly spot. We did only visit the upstairs bar and didn't set foot downstairs so I do not know what...

We were super excited about having an English breakfast. We were the only 3 to walk in there was a lady at the bar, she gave us a buzzer that will let us know our food was ready and we could come collect it... 3 PEOPLE ONLY in the bar. Hospitality and customer service was out the window. I am not one to waste food so I ate 70% of mine and drank 30% of my coffee. I...
