Marine Hall, Fleetwoodback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Whoever is responsible for the decision to ruin this CAMRA Fylde award winner should be ashamed of themselves. It may have needed a 'tidy up', but not to be kicked dragging and screaming into the 1970's, with a cheap makeover. It was a period piece of true 1960's style which just wanted new upholstery, seats, lamps and ceiling tiles.

WAS a gem and my local for many years. Now following a makeover, new opening times (Friday, Sat n Sunday only) and a reduction from 8 beers to 2 or 3, and no cellarman this place is the pits. The beer is more often than not sour.
A real shame

A shocking find. Fleetwood makes neighbouring Blackpool look like Monaco by comparison, and this pub is in a somewhat rundown public conference centre, so any right-minded person would expect it to be terrible.
For some unknown reason I let my stubborn, skeptical guard down one day, and checked it out. The place is excellent. An amazing selection of beers which (at least the ones I tried) were very well kept. The pub also looks like it was recently refurbished, so was a lot cleaner than expected. It also has large windows facing the sea, so you can enjoy the views, and forget you're in a derelict town.
The only other option for ale in Fleetwood is The Thomas Drummond (Wetherspoons) which often looks likes it's inhabited by the cast of Pirates of the Caribbean. So, if you find yourself trapped in this town (ie. you fell asleep on a Northbound tram, or washed ashore) you could do worse than stop in for a pint here.

Beautiful day, with friend and her 10 year old son. Quite happy to stay in the empty enclosed beer garden but they insist on plastic glasses outdoors. Real ale in plastic? No thanks.

A nice pub with a warm friendly atmosphere, and they serve a cracking pint of Pendle witch

A cracking bar. Home of the Fleetwood Beer Festival annually in February. Well worth a visit. Usually 5+ guest ales, Pendle Witch and Phoenix Navvy on permanent.
