About us Tucked away on Victoria Road West, Backstage Cleveleys is more than just a restaurant, it feels like an experience carefully designed for both locals and visitors who want good food paired with lively entertainment. The décor instantly sets the tone, mixing modern comfort with theatre-inspired details that make the place feel unique. It’s the kind of spot where you can drop by for a relaxed midweek dinner or make it part of a special night out in Cleveleys.
The menu offers a mix of classic British favorites and international dishes, giving plenty of choice whether you’re in the mood for a hearty steak, fish and chips, or lighter options like fresh salads and pasta. When I visited, the chicken Parmesan was a standout, served with just the right crisp coating and a portion size that felt generous without being overwhelming. According to industry surveys, consistency in portion and flavor is one of the main drivers of customer loyalty, and the reviews here reflect exactly that. Diners often highlight how the kitchen balances flavor with presentation, making each plate feel like it’s been prepared with care rather than rushed out.
What also makes this location stand out is its entertainment element. Live music and events are frequently part of the experience, which isn’t something you get at every restaurant in town. Staff are attentive, offering honest recommendations from the menu and even pairing suggestions for wine or cocktails. On my last visit, I tried their house burger alongside a local ale, and it was one of those combinations that just worked perfectly.

“Great band tonight, bar staff were great! However one member the security was a massive tyrant! Had a great night at Backstage, however once last orders was called, they wouldn’t let me and the mrs shelter under the umbrella outside on one of the benches as one member of the security “didn’t want to get wet putting the umbrella down” (it was pouring it down), whilst we were waiting for a taxi he pushed me off the umbrella and was extremely disrespectful the the other women who were also waiting in the rain outside. Great place but very disappointing at the end after a great night! The man in question had a grey beard, bald head, and had a massive chip on his shoulder. Was it a people’s pub or his?”
“Imagine having a great night, seeing a live band, to then have to wait for a taxi in the pouring rain and being shoved from the security, whilst we were trying to put up one of the umbrella's outside. All staff were eating pizza inside (including the security), whilst myself and a few other ladies were getting soaked waiting for a taxi. This so called ‘security guard’ with a grey beard and bald head, would not let a handful of people stand under one of the many umbrella's outside, whilst it was pouring down. Great atmosphere, great bar but the security guy should have some respect and some basic human skills. He should also have his SIA licence on show. A very disappointing end to a great night!”
“Called in here for the 1st time. It was early on a Sunday lunchtime & the place was as quiet as expected. Friendly bar staff & an extensive selection of beers that were reasonably priced. Public transport permitting, hopefully we’ll be able to return & enjoy some of the live music that this venue has a great reputation for.”
“Really enjoyed our visit it was a nice sunny afternoon so wanted to sit outside and lucky enough the sun shines on this side of the street. Big corner area full of outdoor seating, big bar area with more choice of beers that you can think off. Also has a stage area for gigs as well. If passing well worth a visit.”
“Great little bar in Cleveleys. Great selection of drinks. Staff very friendly and professional. Really enjoy visiting.”
