After opening a year ago, Crafty Bear has proved popular with Blackpool drinkers leading to an extension and conversion into a sports bar.
Crafty Bears can be found on Waterloo road at South shore in Blackpool and now offers drinkers supreme pool tables and 9 ball tables, full Sky Sports package showing all live games across 12 65inch, 4k screens.
The bar is now also able to offer a pool competition every sunday due to the new expansion, and no membership is required.
Here are some inside pictures of Crafty Bear’s new extension.
