    Why is that pub so popular?

    £3.25 for a pint of water.

    It's probably the most overrated pub I've known at away matches

    Like a lot of Blackpool I think it's living on it's reputation rather than current status. Out of season I know but not been impressed last two visits. The Manchester isn't much better nor Tower Lounge. Take away the fun music and daft fans and none are places I'd choose to drink.

    Is The Union Bar still open? It was the Glasgow Rangers pub, had some good days and nights in there.

    Think that's just Blackpool in general. My brother lives over that way and when I've visited he's never taken me to a Blackpool pub - closest we've been is Lytham.

    we were in before the match ,quite a few Barnsley fans in, horse cheese burger wasn't bad either but in general Blackpool is a complete dump. Having said that the Hotel in the football ground was excellent
