Beach House Lights Up For Illuminations

Still dreaming of sand dunes and salty air as the summer sun fades? The cool seaside getaway you crave could be closer than you think…

It’s time let some light into your life at Beach House Blackpool - a vibrant bistro and bar set right on the resort’s world-famous Promenade, where the lively charm of the coastline meets bohemian chic with a sun-kissed welcome whatever the weather.
 
Grab your gang and take a trip to Blackpool’s legendary Illuminations this Autumn and let Beach House make it a seaside escape to remember. We’re not talking chips and candyfloss (although they do still hold a nostalgic charm as you stroll on the seafront) - this is the NEW Blackpool. Slip into a cosy Beach House booth and sip handcrafted cocktails as the sun sets over the sea and leave all the stress behind. It’s kiss me quick, but with a laid-back luxe vibe and a warm welcome.
 
This unique dining destination is located just a few sandy footsteps from the Irish Sea in the shadow of Blackpool Tower and brings a touch of Mediterranean magic to this iconic shoreline. It’s also just down the Prom from an exciting new Illuminations installation for 2024. Disco Donkey Cavalcade from flamboyant designer Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen features twelve donkeys all decked out in funky 70s- inspired swimwear, prancing around a 16-foot high platform, topped with a revolving mirror ball. Other new sights this year include a thrilling tableau created by Leigh Francis (aka TV star Keith Lemon) based on his wildly imaginative childhood memories and includes a 12ft tall dinosaur and an airborne BMX bike! Only in Blackpool…
 
Whether you are looking for fun drinks with the girls, delicious dinners with the family, or chilled out celebrations with a twist after tripping the Lights fantastic; Beach House offers an irresistible blend of heartfelt hospitality expertly mixed with relaxed beach vibes and eclectic elegance. The mouthwatering menu crafted by Executive Chef Diego Martinez is an ever-evolving celebration of cuisine from faraway shores using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients with options to suit every palate and every pocket. That means whole Whitley Bay wild lobster, spicy succulent langoustine and the finest fillet steaks all expertly fired in the Josper oven over sizzling charcoals; freshly shucked oysters; home-made wood-fired pizzas; tempting tapas; decadent home-made desserts and much more, all waiting to dazzle your tastebuds.
 
“At Beach House we believe in the power of good food, great company and the beauty of the beach to bring people together, “says owner Cheryl Tchobanian. “Beach House is a place where people can come to relax, feel good and feel a connection to the beautiful coastal environment of Blackpool. It’s also a place where great memories are made and where people can be transported back to a fabulous memory of holidays gone by.”
 
Guests can unwind in this stunning seaside haven surrounded by original artworks - including a mesmerising reconstruction of the coastline’s spectacular Starling murmuration, or enjoy the fresh sea breeze on the expansive outdoor terrace; with every single seat at Beach House boasting stunning views of the Irish Sea and a seagull’s eye view of the famous Illuminations, the annual World Fireworks Championships and all the exciting outdoor events Blackpool has to offer on its glorious Golden Mile.
 
Cheryl added: “Beach House is also ever moving forward when it comes to our food and drink choices. We don’t run with the pack and like to offer our visitors something new and exciting along with their seasoned favourites. For example, the mixologists at Beach House are renowned for their inventive cocktails crafted from an extensive selection of the latest spirits, which currently include a fiery range of premium Tequilas from Casamigos to 818 and the Artisan Clase Azul.”
 
Regular live music nights add to the chilled beach club vibe, making each visit wonderfully unique with a talented roster of handpicked live DJs bringing everything from the coolest cuts in soulful house to upbeat club tracks and timeless vinyl classics along with amazing acoustic performances direct from Ibiza, transporting visitors right to the shores of the White Isle while still enjoying the wholesome charm of the seafront.
 
But don’t just take the Beach House word for it… Book a cosy booth and you could be rubbing shoulders with celebrity visitors including Hollywood A-listers Tim Burton, Samuel L Jackson and Asa Butterfield, TV big hitters such as Matt le Blanc and Chris Evans, or the Strictly stars when the glitterball comes to town. Beach House is also a welcome retreat to well-known Lancashire locals from Paris Fury to Hayley Tamaddon, Molly-Mae Hague and Charlotte Dawson. From big names to Blackpool visitors and locals alike, everyone is treated like family at Beach House Blackpool and they all come for the same reason – to feed their senses with style by the sea.
