About Bootleg Social
Bootleg Social is Blackpool's independent alternative music bar and live-music venue at 30 Topping Street (FY1 3AQ) — billed as the town's only dedicated alternative venue. Its music policy spans indie, alt, rock, funk, soul and swing, with a packed gig calendar of touring and local acts. The 330-capacity room is open Monday to Thursday 7pm-1am and Friday to Saturday 5pm-3am (closed Tuesdays), running an 18+ door after 10pm, and pours craft ales, cocktails and fine spirits. A PA-equipped stage welcomes both original acts and covers, making it a cornerstone of the Fylde coast's grassroots scene.
