Bad experience at Kaos
My visit to this bar in Blackpool was unfortunately tainted by rudeness. Maybe the Easter weekend was the wrong time to visit but I saw a violent fight happening in the smoking area that made me regret being there as I saw a man and a woman violently fighting each other. Admittedly, this has nothing to do with the bar itself but with the clientele. I felt even worst when I walked back inside to find that the bar staff is intimidating, patronising and overall rude in my experience. I didn’t feel welcomed at all and it did cross my mind that the fact that I am clearly not a local or a northerner played an important role in the way that I was treated. Looked down upon like I was being done a favour by being allowed to be there… wouldn’t recommend this to anyone I considered a friend.
Fun Bar and Club
KAOS Bar is a must place to hang out in Blackpool. The bar staff are friendly, attentive and the drinks promos make it a decent place to stay, dance or just meet new people from all over the UK as well as the locals. The DJ is usually a Drag artist and funny. People float in and out and the place is open from noon till daybreak sometimes. There is security on the door, which as a trans person is reassuring. Mixed crowd covering the whole LGBT spectrum with a few curious tourists thrown in sometimes. The girls loos are very basic which means when its busy you have a line forming. Dance floor is large relatively taking up much of the bar space and is often packed, usual smoke /dry ice and light effect all in all a good place to visit. Recommended not to be missed best going around 10pm onwards.
