Robert’s Oyster Bar, Trading on the Prom for Nearly 150 Years

Robert’s Oyster Bar, 90 Promenade, Blackpool, FY1 1HB, located in the famous Robert’s Oyster Rooms, a staple on the Blackpool Promenade for nearly 150 years. Robert’s Oyster Rooms has been in Blackpool since 1876 and sells all manner of seaside and beach goods alongside a wide selection of fresh shellfish on the Oyster Bar. It was originally built to be Blackpool’s most famous oyster bar, and at the time, this large, three-storey building must have been very impressive. The first customers could buy seven oysters for a shilling, the equivalent of around 5pence in today’s money. What a bargain! Today, Robert’s Oyster Bar is owned by Blackpool resident Neil Parkinson. The Oyster Bar offers a selection of shellfish, such as crab, lobster, prawns, cockles, mussels, and, of course, oysters. If you’re a seafood lover, a visit to Robert’s Oyster Bar is a must in Blackpool.
