Nolls Bar Southport

If you're after a pint in town and want somewhere a bit lively, Nolls Bar is a decent shout. It's got a 4.4 rating on Google from 33 reviews, so people seem pretty happy with it. It's not a quiet, local pub vibe – more of a late-night bar kind of place.

They're open late on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (until 11pm), which is handy. During the week, though, they close up at 8pm. You'll find it right in the middle of Southport town centre, so dead easy to get to after a bit of shopping or a bite to eat.

I wouldn't say it's the place for a quiet chat – it can get quite loud, especially later on. But if you're looking for somewhere with a bit of atmosphere, it's worth checking out.

Give them a ring if you're planning a big group visit, especially on a weekend, just to make sure they can squeeze you in.
