Bootleg Social is an independently owned and run late bar and live music venue located in Blackpool town centre. The venue prides itself on being a bit of a hidden gem of Blackpool feeling more like a place you would find in a vibrant city than a seaside town. It's worlds apart from the places catering for stag and hen do's and boasts a friendly and relaxed environment at all times, whilst being a hive for local talent and creativity.

Bootleg opened its doors in Decemeber 2014 with the aim of being an alternative music venue, nightspot and creative space for the local residents and like-minded visitors to the area. Six years in and we can proudly say that we have met that aim and will be continuing to do so for years to come. Accommodation - Flat above venue that sleeps up to 8 people.

Only been here a few times (think it used to be jenx many many years ago) but had a great time.
Live bands, great atmosphere.
If you're a metal head or similar in Blackpool, pop in.

My first time last night! Ive been wanting to go for months but covid restrictions and them being sold out have prevented me from visiting. I'm signed up to their free email mailing list and yesterday had the great surprise for free tickets to see Emily Rhodes and pizza girl. Both were great but pizza girl must be plumbed into my musical zeitgeist and were a real standout. Shame about their t-shirts. 😉. The venue is in the basement with sofas and tables along with a standing area and long bar selling craft beers and lagers. It is a great space and unlike every other music venue I've visited
