PLATFORM 9 BAR & KITCHEN

EST. 2024

Our Story

Blackpool North Station has been welcoming visitors since 1846, evolving alongside the town’s rise as a classic seaside resort.

It was rebuilt in 1898 to handle booming seaside crowds, and despite being flagged for closure in the 1960s, it survived while Blackpool Central shut in 1964.

The station was dramatically reshaped in 1974 to accommodate growing passenger numbers, it remains Blackpool’s main rail gateway and a key part of the Talbot Gateway Regeneration, launched in 2014 to transform the area around Talbot Road.

Platform 9 Bar & Kitchen takes its name from the station’s original eight platforms with us proudly standing as the ninth, continuing the journey just steps from the tracks.
