I spent the day exploring Southport’s best micropubs and traditional locals, each with its own character and charm. I started at The Beer Den, a cosy spot with great ales, then wandered to The Barrel House in Birkdale — small but buzzing. From there, I visited The Grasshopper, Beer Station, and The Tin Shed, all welcoming and full of personality. Back in Southport, I called into Tap & Bottles, Masons Arms, The Guesthouse, and The Windmill before finishing at The Lakeside Inn — Britain’s smallest pub. Every stop had a great pint, a friendly atmosphere, and that proper local feel I love.
