 Roxy's
23 Queen Street. FY1 1NL
Tel. 01253 622573
A Fun Pub/Club with great food and a good atmosphere.
Quality entertainment is provided by the International Drag
Artiste, Roxy Hart, with the support of deejay Lady Wincey,
who plays a variety of music ranging from traditional old
camp right up to modern dance, and the regular appearances
of various guest cabaret acts.
Probably best described as Gay-friendly (so don't get too
amorous) because so many of the straight tourists love this
place too! Roxy Hart and Lady Wincey with the talented staff
(who often get involved in entertaining you) make sure that
there's rarely a dull moment. Always a good night out - we
defy you not to enjoy yourself. On several open levels,
complete with a scenic balcony (providing a sea view) that
can be a welcome relief on a sticky night, it's yet another
Blackpool venue not to be missed! Many make a bee-line for
here once the show is over at Funny Girls. The venue also
often provides more outside seating under the balcony. If
you want to know more about the fabulous Miss Roxy Hart,
International Drag Artiste,
