THIRSTY? Blackpool - Grand Opening Weekend!

🎉 THIRSTY? BLACKPOOL – GRAND OPENING FRIDAY 🎉
Friday 25 September 2026

Blackpool, we’re back!

After months of planning, preparation and bringing everything together, Thirsty? Blackpool is officially reopening its doors, and we’re kicking things off with a proper Grand Opening Friday.

This is the start of a new chapter for Thirsty? — bringing together good food, good drinks, good music and good vibes in the heart of Blackpool.

Whether you’re coming down early for food, meeting friends for drinks, having a game of pool, watching the sport, or staying into the evening for the music, we want the Grand Opening to feel like a full day and night out.

🎶 FRIDAY NIGHT MUSIC

Friday is all about:

❤️ R&B
🎵 Slow Jams
🔥 90s & 00s favourites
🎤 R&B Classics
💿 Throwbacks & more

Our live DJ starts from 6PM, bringing you everything from smooth Slow Jams and classic R&B to the tunes that get everyone singing along and onto the dancefloor.

🇯🇲 AUTHENTIC JAMAICAN FOOD

We’re also launching our food partnership with Chef Ricky Ric – Taste of Jamaica, serving authentic Jamaican food packed with bold Caribbean flavours.

🍴 Food available from 1PM until sold out

If you’re planning to eat with us, we recommend coming down early because once the food is gone, it’s gone.

Expect proper Jamaican flavours alongside the drinks, music and atmosphere that Thirsty? is building its new identity around.

🍹 MORE THAN JUST A NIGHT OUT

Throughout the day and evening you can expect:

🎧 Live DJ from 6PM
🇯🇲 Authentic Jamaican food
🍹 Drinks throughout the night
🎱 Pool table
📺 Live sport on screens
🎶 R&B, Slow Jams, 90s/00s & classics
🥂 Grand Opening atmosphere

🕐 START EARLY • STAY FOR THE VIBES

Thirsty? opens from 1PM, so you don’t need to wait until the evening to join us.

Come down early, grab some food and drinks, settle in with friends, then stay as the music turns up from 6PM.

Whether you’re popping in for a couple of drinks or planning to stay for the whole night, everyone is welcome to come and celebrate the reopening with us.

🎉 A NEW CHAPTER. SAME GOOD VIBES.

The Grand Opening is about more than one night — it marks the beginning of the new Thirsty? Blackpool.

We’ll be bringing you regular R&B & Slow Jams Fridays, Lovers Rock, Reggae & Dancehall Saturdays, Jamaican food, brunches, games nights, Sunday dinners and special events throughout the year.

Friday 25 September is your chance to be there from the beginning.
