The Flying Handbag
A big, purpose-built LGBTQ+ bar and club on Queen Street, open from noon every day with drag hosts, karaoke, food and a sun terrace.
Sunday roasts in the Rainbow Quarter
Where to get Sunday lunch in the quarter, with times and booking tips.
A long Sunday lunch is a Blackpool tradition, and several quarter venues serve roasts. It is a gentler way to see the bars before the evening shows.
- The Flying Handbag serves Sunday lunch from noon to 5pm.
- Mardi Gras serves roasts from 1:30pm.
- De-Lovely serves Sunday roasts, but you need to book.
Mardi Gras
A gay-owned public bar and hotel on Lord Street with three areas, cabaret, hot food, Sunday roasts and keen drink prices.
De-Lovely Hotel
A gay-owned guest house on Lord Street with quirky themed rooms, a highly rated breakfast and a cocktail bar open to all.
Tips
- Book ahead on bank holiday weekends, during the Illuminations and at Pride.
- Combine lunch with an afternoon show: the Flying Handbag runs occasional Sunday-afternoon specials, and Garlands has drag every day from mid-afternoon.
- Funny Girls plays on Sunday evenings too, if you want to make a day of it.
