Number 4 JD' today, and a 03rd 'tick'! Opposite the South Pier, a cavernous conversion, over three floors, opened March this year. 8 ales on, but nothing outstanding. Maybe 12 people here, including staff. How do they do it...

The pub is found in Blackpool, Lancashire, FY4 1BA.

Opened March 2015, opposite the South Pier in promenade, a cavernous three floor conversion, of a former amusement emporium. Named after the nearby, and very first and most famous of Blackpool's old wooden pleasure rides, and latterly called the Rollercoaster. Three floors, including a huge roof terrace. The middle floor has the added novelty, of the cask ales, on their automatic tilting stillages, plus pipework etc, all on show behind a large glass frontage. This JD Wis a very bold and up to date design statement.

We have visited this pub twice, seen 9 different beers and tried 2 of them.
