AJ's Cocktail Bar
 |
A tiny shop conversion beautifully done out, aiming at the cocktail market but with two lagers on draft as well.
Last visited August 2025.

Liverpool Road North
 |
Alt Park
|
Nicely decorated in standard Sizzling Pub style, doing a good trade in food anytime.
Last visited September 2024.

Northway / Dover Road
|
Bar du Fay "Duffey"
|
An agreeably decorated wine bar - stone floor, wooden tables and bar front - where no-one was drinking wine, although they do have quite a range of bottles on sale. Strangely, there's a "wheeltappers and shunters" bell mounted on the wall.
Last visited 2018.

Liverpool Road South / Hall Lane
|
Cask Cafe
 |
Opened in 2018, this is a cafe during the day and a micro-pub later. Excellent ales are served, and if the front room is too busy there is a comfortable and less crowded space to the rear.

Liverpool Road South / The Crescent
|
Coach & Horses
|
Formerly two-sided but now knocked through, a pleasant pub belonging to Greene King, but offering none of their cask ales.

Fox (Red House)
|
The Red House was a classic 50s Walkers house, with original woodwork etc. inside.
A thorough refurbishment has removed most traces of its history, creating a very pleasant and well cared for two-sided pub in modern style.
I'm told this has closed.
Last visited 2019.

Foxhouse Lane / Hillcrest
|
Great Mogul
|
Good old-style traditional decor in this large free-standing pub partially knocked through into one room but retaining some partitions. There's a pleasant beer garden, but watch out for the wasps! Good cask ale, and the food looks tasty.

Station Road, by Maghull Station
|
Hare & Hounds
|
I always think the exterior looks a little unloved or even tatty, but the interior of this large pub is nicely done in the standard Ember Inns style. There's a pleasant beer yard behind.

Hall Lane / Tommy Gent Way
|
Meadows
|
Well done contemporary chain dining pub decor in this large inter-war roadhouse. Despite being knocked through it retains a bar end and a lounge/dining end, and they've even got separate gents.

A spectacularly decorated bar which also has a roof terrace.

A plain but well decorated shop conversion.

Deyes Lane / Kendal Drive
|
One Central
|
More of a cafe than a bar, but they offer lager on tap. Pleasantly decorated and very popular, most were drinking coffee when I was there.
Last visited September 2024.
|
Westway / Leighton Avenue
|
Running Horses
|
Nicely decorated multi-roomed popular pub with two bars. Something of an identi-kit chain dining pub, but none the worse for that. A large yard and garden with a kids playground.

Bells Lane, Lydiate, by the Leeds & Liverpool Canal
|
Scotch Piper
|
Reputedly the oldest pub in Lancashire, dating back to 1320. A thatched building with three drinking areas all served from a minuscule counter in the corner. Everywhere has low wooden beams, mid your head.
Grade II listed building.
Last visited May 2024.

Southport Road / Station Road, Lydiate
|
Weld Blundell
|
One large room knocked through but still partially separated, nicely decorated and comfortable. There is a second room to the rear.

Wetherspoon's Frank Hornby (Everest)
|
My notes on the Everest:
A pleasant two-sided 50s house, nicely looked after. Someone once told me this used to be Sir Edmund Hillary's local, but I think he may have been winding me up. (Thanks, Ernie.)
Wetherspoon's took over in 2012 with a substantial refurbishment featuring modern decor with a Meccano theme. Always busy when I visit.
