About Common Bar & Kitchen

Common Bar & Kitchen is a Mexican restaurant and bar on Edward Street in Blackpool, set in a compact dining room where tacos and cornbread form the backbone of the menu and halloumi fries are a frequent order. The kitchen runs alongside a drinks list that fills the bar side of the room, and diners can eat in or take food away from the same counter. Dogs are welcome inside, making the space workable for walkers popping in off the seafront. Tables sit on one floor, and service runs as a walk-in setup with no booking posture noted. The format suits small plates shared across the table and quick stops between the attractions.

    “This is a hidden gem of an eaterie. Superb!”
  • Emily
    “Absolutely delicious authentic Mexican food, such amazing quality and well worth the money. Enjoyed every bite, and all the food at surrounding tables looked amazing too. The staff are all very kind and welcoming, 100% worth the visit! I couldn’t add photos to this review but I added them separately :)”
  • Hannah Rose
    “First time visiting the common bar and it exceeded both mine and my wife’s expectations. The servers were lovely and helpful, the atmosphere was great and the food was fantastic. The favourite dish of both mine and my wife’s was definitely the halloumi fries. I would say they were the best ones I’ve ever had . Will definitely be going back and trying more items from the menu.”

    “It's really unfortunate to have to change my review because the staff have always been nice in my personal experience and I've always really enjoyed the food but I got a takeaway yesterday and I seriously doubt I'll be getting food from here again. The pictures of the tacos are from when we dined in last summer and on the white plates are from yesterday's takeaway. I don't want to be too negative and I don't want to rant - it's just really disappointing. All I can say is if you're going to get food here go in person rather than getting takeout...”

    “Really disappointed went to celebrate my son's graduation and found the food extremely poor. Meal was swimming in oil and tasted stale and overly sweet. Chicken was overcooked and Taco and cornbread was so sweet it was inedible. Despite telling staff we did not enjoy our meal at all they were more than happy to quickly take our money. We got a sorry but no real steps were taken to ensure we left happy which we were not. I think it's probably one of the worst meals I have ever had. Such a shame as it was supposed to be a special occasdion”
