07/06/2014 14:33:50 | Great Venue”

Great Venue” 4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2013 We spent New Years Eve at The Sands. The decor was lovely, the food excellent and the service first class. All staff were friendly, helpful and very efficient. Great atmosphere for NYE. Nice to be able to walk around after meal. The only reason I am not awarding 5 stars is because the wine I pre-ordered was not available and I was not informed until I asked. I was just offered a bottle of Liebfraumilch which was nothing like the wine I ordered (not even the same colour!). Also, when we booked I was informed the bar was open 'as long as there is somebody here' when in fact it closed at 1am. That aside we had a great night and will definitely go again.

“Victoria and Steven engagement party” 5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2013 Great night with private engagement party ,good food and special service from pleasant staff. 14 in our party booked a table overlooking promenade on 27th December we were warmly welcomed on a very cold evening in between Christmas and new year the staff could not do any more us it started with a relaxed singer doing many rat pack numbers in the background which was very good way to start our evening.We were then served a 3 course meal which was very hot and quality. After our meal the manager asked if we would like to have a table in the cabaret area and also offered to take group photos nice touch. We would go to this restaurant again and take in the entertainment. Visited December 2012

“Swing Night is amazing” 4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2013 Cracking night at The Sands (swing night) for my birthday. Band were extremely good - faultless musically and charismatic too. Liked the way they've done it up, and the staff were lovely, especially our waitress (the bubbly blonde one). Only downside for me was the food - it was trying too hard to be posh but failing rather, which i suspect is a budget issue as I would be amazed to get music that good AND lovely food for that kind of price. Would happily pay another £10 for a better meal (it was served hot and quickly but the ingredients were just not that good) but suspect that wouldn't be viable in Blackpool. Not keen to go for the balcony as it was great to be near the band (who were fab - did I mention that?). Still, we're going back soon, only this time we may pig out on nibbles before we go and just stick to a main course.. Visited February 2013

“Highly Recommended!!!!” 5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 March 2013 If you are looking for an evening of good food, great entertainment and quality customer service then this is the place to go!! Last night was the second time we had been and was even better than the first time. We sat Too Rex there in December and we were very impressed with them. In addition, the meal was top quality. This time we went to celebrate my birthday. All the staff are very attentive and lovely. They ensure that all is ok with the meal etc. The food was stunning and even the wine list has reasonable prices! They certainly went the extra mile knowing that i was there for my birthday to make sure it was memorable. This included going on stage with Re-Take That who we had gone to see. The entertainment was also unbelievably good. Absolutely top quality night worth every penny. If you want a great night out.... book a night there now :D Visited March 2013

“5 star venue, NOW AT THE SANDS VENUE NOT THE PIER ANYMORE, 5 star show, best in Blackpool” 5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 April 2013 Went to opening night of the Easter shows on Good Friday with a group of friends. The better half and I have seen legends loads of times on central pier and also been to the sands venue a number of times since it opened - both are excellent, put the two together and have you got a show! There was 8 of us on Friday and we chose to eat before the show, we ate at our tables we had booked for the show and we thought the service was excellent along with the food - there was a choice for all courses. The show itself was probably the best Legends I've seen, Tom Bright, the compere was on form and the artists, band and dancers made good use of the modern layout and atmosphere.

The venue it's self is good layout, with easy access to all public areas. The lights above us where not working but they explained this to us when they showed us to our seats. Over all the acts that we saw we amazing, Robbie Williams, The Blues Brother, Adele and Elvis all preformed great songs and the compare Tom Bright was funny through out.

“A fantastic Evening” 5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 June 2013 I am wheelchair bound which was not a problem for the staff at this venue. A member of staff operated the disabled lift on our arrival and we were escorted to our table. We had booked a three course meal and show. The meal was wonderful and the show fantastic and very professional and the surroundings are lovely and very comfortable. We watched show 2 which was Robbie Williams, Adele, Blues Brothers and Elvis all were very very good and the host was entertaining bringing the show together. Staff at this venue are very helpful and very attentive. Only issue I had was the unisex disabled toilet as only one disabled loo for a large building not very good.

“Legends - A Great Night Out” 5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 June 2013 Our first experience of Legends but it certainly won't be the last. The venue is first class and the entertainers amazing. We had the pleasure of seeing Buddy Holly, Neil Diamond, Elton John and Freddie Mercury. Tom Bright our Master of Ceremonies was excellent and supported by Leanne Fury a very attractive vocalist with abundant energy and talent. The only criticism we have is that the staff could help proceedings if they circulated more, and the tables where we sat were too crowded. We had previously attended a Sands Swing Spectacular which was equally enjoyable. Visited June 2013

“5 STAR ENTERTAINMENT….NOT TO BE MISSED!” 5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2013 Visited this show for the 1st time on Wednesday 21st August with 3 friends, the evening was fantastic we had chosen the show with ‘Robbie Williams, The Blues Brothers, Adele and Elvis.’ All of the artists were extremely talented and very professional, we didn’t know the format for the show but were pleasantly surprised to be entertained for over two and a half hours with an interval in the middle. We got to see all of the artists twice in both halves, there were four dancers who accompanied the artists and they too were so professional, there costumes were great and they could all sing as well. I can’t think of anywhere that you could be entertained so well for £18 for this length of time, I have seen Legends shows in Las Vegas and other states in the USA but this show knocks spots off them! The venue itself was perfect, in a very central location at THE SANDS VENUE next door to Blackpool Tower (don’t confuse it with any other Legend shows as you will be disappointed.) All of the staff were friendly and welcoming, the drinks at the bar were very reasonably priced and although we didn’t eat here the venue served meals if required. If you happened to be staying in Blackpool for a week then you could get to see both of the Legends shows as the other show with entertainers Freddie Mercury, Elton John, Buddy Holly and Neil Diamond are on alternate weeks. (Change over day is Thursday so make the most of it see one show at the beginning of the week and the other one later in the week.) Visited August 2013

“good entertainment , nice venue, central location” 4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 September 2013 went to see the legends show for the 1st time on the 17th August 2013, got lucky with show, like the blues brothers and Elvis who were on that night along with Adele and Robbie Williams, the acts were good, i booked it on line, pre booked my seats, was disappointed when i got there as they had moved the tables around,I did complain and luckily got offered an empty table where we could see, did have food, limited menu which caused an issue as my wife is a fussy eater, it was ok, drinks were a little expensive for Blackpool which does have cheaper places to drink , the show lasts about 2 hours, on the downside we had a noisy table next to ours who were laughing and talking very loudly when adele was on which over cast her part of the show, they obviously did not want to listen to her, i know its not the real Adele but she had a good voice and deserved to be heard, they have no floor security so it was up to members of the audience to tell this group to be quiet which they ignored and found it was all a big joke, something sands need to look at Tips if you book on line make sure the tables you book are in the right place, using the metro is the cheapest way of getting around if you are on the front you are finished for 10:30pm and the town centre is just around the corner to carry on partying the middle or front of the floor area seems the best place to watch the show and you dont have to buy food the 4 acts change every Thursday if you are there for 2 weeks check who is on and when Visited August 2013

“Excellent Night Out” 5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2013 I was in a group of twelve people who attended this venue on the 6th September to see The Legends show with Elton John, Buddy Holly, Neil Diamond and the outstanding Freddie Mercury. None of our party had been to this venue before & did not know what to expect. We all left completely satisfied with what we had seen and heard during the three hours we were there. The whole show including the artists and the compare were excellent entertainment. Freddie Mercury closed the show and was outstanding. The whole audience seemed to thoroughly enjoy the evening and participated in the singing at every opportunity. I must also mention Leanne Fury Who is the backing singer. She performed one song on her own at the begining of the show and two duets with Elton & Neil Diamond. This young woman must surely be spotted by a talent scout in the near future as she has a wonderful voice and could quite easily be a lead vocalist in any on stage musical. "Good Luck Leanne". We all came away with plans to book tickets for the second Legends show featuring The Blues Brothers, Elvis, Adele and Robbie Williams. What a great night out! Visited September 2013

“Excellent show and venue” 5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2013 We have been to see the Legends show many times when it was on at the Central Pier. We have also been to the Sands venue a few times. The merging of the two is an ingenious idea. The Sands venue is an excellent place with friendly staff and brings a touch of class to Blackpool.. The Legends show, as always, is excellent. I agree with so many other comments that Leeanne Fury is a star in her own right. She can do solos and duets with any act. The show we saw was with Elton John, Freddie Mercury, Buddy Holly and Neil Diamond. All acts were 1st class. We look forward to visiting next year and booking seats at the Sands again.

We have been many times and highly recommend this nightclub GREAT STAFF, FANTASTIC CHEF, dinners hows highly professional and great acts, singers and dancers. Dont miss The Pepperpots, a bit like the Commitments but better! Like a 1980s nightclub that was called The Palace on this very spot in the 1980s. Please open the second wing soon for a return to the 1980s disco scene. It is needed for all us 40 plus dancing kings and queens! There is a dance floor and caberet tables, lit by lamps and very romantic. Great starlit ceiling makes this high quality night out but at the right price.

Review From Pride Ball Last Night At The Sands Venue ''The Sands Venue, Blackpool was out of this world, the staff were great, and the food was delicious (and hot when it was served with 'cooked' veg) A massive well done to Shaun Pickup who did everything in his power to make sure it was an event worth going to, and believe me Shaun, it was. (When you get told it was the best night people had ever had in Blackpool, you know you did it right ) Our lovely Tim James hosted the evening, and what a great job he did. So many of the Pride Festival Committee there showing a unified front to the rest of Blackpool. So many artists and I would like to say thank you to one and all, you did us proud and made sure everyone enjoyed themselves. All in all a great night was had by all''

The best celebrity impersonators in the business framed in a live full performance show and backed by a live band, this is a full-on value for money night out.

But the show-stealer for me is the inimitable Jimmy Love as Elton John in a performance that is pure tantrum and tiara Reg Dwight feather boas and all. Capturing the essence of vintage Elton with the wit and the verve he is a dead ringer and an all round entertainer. A Legends show never flags. The show also boasts a first class back-line, a tight house band under the musical direction of Richard Chance and accompanied by singer Leanne Fury who opens the show with a first class rendition of West End classic which could almost be the anthem for what's about to come; 'Defying Gravity'. Always a first class show now it is housed in a first class venue to match its on stage talent Legends at the Sands is the best show in the UK's entertainment capital.

The show also boasts a first class back-line, a tight house band under the musical direction of Richard Chance and accompanied by singer Leanne Fury who opens the show with a first class rendition of West End classic which could almost be the anthem for what's about to come; 'Defying Gravity'. Always a first class show now it is housed in a first class venue to match its on stage talent Legends at the Sands is the best show in the UK's entertainment capital. Miss it at your peril.

“5 star venue, NOW AT THE SANDS VENUE NOT THE PIER ANYMORE, 5 star show, best in Blackpool” 5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 April 2013 NEW Went to opening night of the Easter shows on Good Friday with a group of friends. The better half and I have seen legends loads of times on central pier and also been to the sands venue a number of times since it opened - both are excellent, put the two together and have you got a show! There was 8 of us on Friday and we chose to eat before the show, we ate at our tables we had booked for the show and we thought the service was excellent along with the food - there was a choice for all courses. The show itself was probably the best Legends I've seen, Tom Bright, the compere was on form and the artists, band and dancers made good use of the modern layout and atmosphere. The season starts in June and we'll be back, no question! Visited March 2013

Staff were so lovely and helpful and we will book again when in Blackpool. Diane Shaw was in a word, brilliant and my wife and I plus our friends (50 ish age bracket) were transformed back in time to our youth, wonderful Motown and North Soul songs, sang perfectly, accompanied by an impressive backing band/group. We thought the girl backing singer too had a wonderful voice. Can't fault anything, perhaps my dancing!! Venue impressive, meals were relaxed and unhurried from what we could see and we had eaten at our hotel, but looked lovely.

“A Nice Surprise” 5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2012 NEW We visited The Sands for the first time to see the 'Suspiciously Elvis' show in October. We found all the staff from the receptionist to the waiters and waitresses to be very friendly and helpful. To be honest, we weren't expecting the venue to be much different from some of the second rate clubs around the country, but what a pleasant surprise, the venue was much better than we expected, very plush, you felt immediately at home. The service was good, the only small complaint was the vegetables served with the meal were 'strange' to say the least, not really sure what we were eating, but the rest of the meal was fine. The two hour show was excellent, Elvis was great and the female singer plus backing group were first class, obviously all very good musicians. Drinks for the evening were expensive, but are what you would expect at a top venue like The Sands. Summing up, we really enjoyed a first class evening and will certainly pay another visit in the future. Visited October 2012

19/09/2012 10:26:36 | “Sands - good value cabaret and dining” Visited August 2012

Sands is a hidden gem in Blackpool for cabaret, right next to the Tower. The fact that it doubles as a daytime eatery may deter people form trying the venue. Don't let it, the meal and cabaret are worth it. We visited on a Thursday evening in August and were impressed both by the quality of the food and the Soul tribute act..... one that we have subsequently seen advertised at a much bigger venue in Milton Keynes. It's a select and well decorated venue spread over 2 floors that benefits from smaller parties, on our visit there was plenty of spare tables. We were welcomed and greeted, the drinks weren't the chaeapest in town.... but neither were they over priced for a nightclub venue. This as a place to see good tribute acts and enjoy a meal as a couple or small group
