Lucky Number 13 Mobile Bar

Right, so Lucky Number 13 Mobile Bar... don't let the "mobile" bit fool you. They're usually parked up and serving right in the heart of Southport town centre. I've seen them near Lord Street a few times. They've got a decent 4.4 stars from 7 reviews on Google, so people seem happy enough. Give them a ring on 07898 352066 if you want to know exactly where they're pitched up today.

It's not your typical sticky-carpet boozer, more of an outdoor cocktail vibe. Think chilled music, maybe some fairy lights if you catch them in the evening. Good for a pre-dinner drink or a catch-up with mates. Definitely not a sports bar! Website's luckynumber13bar.co.uk if you want to see their drinks menu. I reckon it's got a bit of a Birkdale feel to it, even though it's in town.

I wouldn't call it a "local's pub" as such, but it's a friendly enough atmosphere. I’m not sure about dogs, I've never seen any there, but worth asking when you call to check their location.

Just remember it's all outdoors, so dress appropriately for the weather, especially if it’s a bit breezy coming off the sea.
