Who is The Dragonfly best for?

A neat choice for couples or pairs of friends who want breakfast included and a walk to both the Prom and the bars. A guest bar makes a nightcap easy.

Ownership has turned over in recent years, so check details with care instead of booking blind.

What's on the doorstep tonight?

Your nearest options from The Dragonfly:

  • Evanescent Bar and Rooms, 1 min away: a laid-back little bar, popular as a pre-party stop.
  • McGraths Bar and Hotel, 1 min away: a lively public bar with resident drag and singers.
  • Neon Bar and Hotel Neon, 1 min away: a small cocktail bar with a garden.

Hours change, so see what is open tonight before you head out. For the full venue background, see the Rainbow Quarter directory.

Getting there and getting around

From Blackpool North it is about 5 mins on foot, a manageable walk with a bag, though a taxi may appeal late at night. The Prom at North Pier is 10 mins away and the Tower is 15 mins, so a sea-air stroll before dinner is easy to fit in. The safety guide has sensible tips for getting home after dark.

Is it the right fit?

Adults-only houses are generally calmer than a bar with rooms, which makes them a good choice if sleep matters as much as the nightlife. If The Dragonfly is full or not quite right, the nearest alternatives by walking time are The Belvedere, De-Lovely Hotel, Neon Bar and Hotel Neon; the stays directory compares them all.
