The Velvet Coaster - JD Wetherspoon

Cocktail Bar | Blackpool | England | United Kingdom

The Velvet Coaster is a JD Wetherspoon chain pub in Blackpool that boasts a unique history and atmosphere. The pub is located near the South Piers and Blackpool Pleasure Beach, one of the most famous tourist attractions in the UK. The name "The Velvet Coaster" comes from a historic roller coaster that opened in the early 20th century and was later renamed "Nickelodeon Streak."

The pub offers a wide range of food and drinks typical of the Wetherspoon chain. There is an extensive selection of beers, including local ales and international brands. Additionally, a variety of dishes are available, from traditional British fare to seasonal offerings. The pub is known for its cozy atmosphere and accessible facilities, including special "Changing Places" for people with disabilities.

The atmosphere at the Velvet Coaster is relaxed and suitable for both a quick snack and a longer get-together. Sporting events are regularly broadcast on TV screens, and there is a modern ordering system that allows guests to place their orders directly at the table through an app.

The pub reflects Blackpool's historic heritage while providing a modern, welcoming environment for locals and tourists alike.

I visted the velvet coster on 2 separate occassions and the drink is cheap and the staff are friendly. I couldnt believe they sell Bells whiskey with mixer for only £1.79. The Korean chicken was lovely

We’re on the eve of the Spring Beer Festival ‘25 with most cask ales reduced to £1.99. Great service and a superb pint of Bateman’s Loopy Loo. Ground floor & bar only open midweek out of season; the only chance you get to go upstairs is to visit the toilets.

We have only a few selective menus that suit our palettes but always satisfied with the food,price including soft drinks comes to £11 ish and with alcohol is 14 ish I believe.hot drinks we can top up with self service. Until 1am it's open so we can dine later and staffs are friendly aswell. There is no pressure to leave the place after we dine.i noticed that a family was playing cards and some were doing online work.so perfect place for holiday dinner

This is without doubt the best "Spoons" pub. You have great views looking out over the Irish sea. But one thing that made it for the me was how friendly and polite the staff were.

Came here for a few drinks. Lovely place ! Nice and clean and nice tables and seating. Staff great ! Always tidying up and cleaning. Toilets really clean too ! Only trouble is we did find parking hard but that’s not the pubs problem. Great place and fab Loch Lomond beer! 🍺 great choice of drinks at very good prices. We are Wetherspoon fans.
