This is a decent pub and was well supported with locals on my Tuesday afternoon visit. 6 pumps with 2 on, Pennine Last Drop & Swaledale Blonde. As described below, green Lincrusta painted wallpaper below the dado rail. The barman was friendly and I can see it being a busy spot in the summer.

Locals pub which looks like it could be fairly nice to sit in the outdoor patio at the front during the summer months. However on a late November evening, this street leading from Lord Street to the Promenade was wet and windswept. So, we were glad to get back indoors.
The pub is fairly open-plan with a pool table off to the left-hand side, where we sat. There was a singer somewhere off to the right-hand side. The pub features in the current Good Beer Guide and it is one which hasn't really attracted me back since my last visit here in 2012. There were 4 cask ales on - Sharp's Winter Solstice, Bass, Bank Top Bad To The Bone & Black Sheep Respire. My Winter Solstice wasn't up to much but service was still rather friendly.
Looks like this is a pub that has upped its game in recent years and judging by the numbers in on a Saturday evening, it's popular locally. Perhaps I was unlucky with my beer of choice but this place could well be worth a try if crawling around Southport.

as below, a large opened out traditional pub with various separate areas around the main bar. Food seems popular here but it’s of the ‘pub doing meals’ variety rather than posh gastro. Two ales on, Theakstons Lightfoot and Bitter. Two fireplaces and cosy feeling inside, plus lots of outside seating at the front. Decent place for a pint.
