Coronation

Right, so you're after a cheap pint in town? Coronation's your spot. It's got a 3.9 rating from 247 reviews on Google, so don't expect The Ritz, but it's decent for what it is: a proper no-frills pub. Think sticky carpets, footy on the telly, and the kind of atmosphere where you can actually hear yourself think, even when it's busy.

Don't go expecting fancy cocktails or a wine list longer than your arm – they stick to the basics, and that's why the prices are so low. It's the kind of place where you'll bump into the same faces every week, mostly blokes catching up after work or watching the match. It's definitely a 'local's pub' vibe, even though it's right in the centre. Not sure about dogs, but it's probably best to leave your furry friend at home for this one.

It's open every day, and you can give them a ring on 01704 530611 if you've got any questions. You'll find more info on the Discover Southport website too. Just be aware it can get pretty packed on weekends, especially when there's a big game on. So, get there early to grab a seat!
