Visited on a weekday afternoon in July. Four of five cask pulls were in active service with various keg options available too. There is also a fridge filled with many cans and bottles. The front room with the bar is typical micro pub style, but there is a further room to the rear with more seating. There also appeared to be an upstairs area, but not sure if this is open to the public and I didn't investigate.
In the back room, various types of seating can be found including monster high back couches. Empty cans adorn the ceiling, along with fairy lights, making it feel nice and cosy. Music was playing at a sensible level. There is also some 'outdoor' seating in the covered arcade.
My half of North Riding Biscoff Porter set me back £2.25 and was definitely enjoyable. I'd be very happy to return here when next in Southport.

once small but now not so small bar in a shopping precinct renowned for the best range of beer in Southport. Friendly service and generally down to earth clientele. Had a good pint of Hophurst Snuggle Mild on this visit. For this town it’s a beery godsend.

Walked past today and noticed four hand pulls at the bar, two appeared to be off. Looks a nice place and I look forward to giving it a try another time.
