About Riverside Bar & Family Room
Right, so Riverside Bar's in Banks, which is technically Southport, Merseyside, but feels a bit like you're heading out into the sticks. Don't let that put you off, though. It's got a solid 4.2 stars on Google from 72 reviews, so people clearly rate it. It's a proper local pub atmosphere, not one of those fancy cocktail places. Think sports on the telly and a good pint.
They've got outdoor seating, which is decent when the weather's playing ball (rare, I know!), and they're dog-friendly, which is a big plus for me as I'm always walking the Labrador. It's open from 5pm weekdays, but if you're thinking of a weekend trip, they open at midday on Saturday and Sunday.
It gets pretty lively on a Friday and Saturday night, so if you're after a quiet pint, maybe aim for a midweek visit.
Parking can be a bit tight around there, especially on weekends, so give yourself a bit of extra time to find a spot.
