Sacrebleu Bar & Coffee Lounge

If you're after a decent pint in town without breaking the bank, Sacrebleu is a solid bet. It’s got a good buzz about it, especially later in the week when they're open a bit later – until 1am on Fridays and Saturdays. It's got a really friendly atmosphere, not too pretentious, and the kind of place where you can actually hear yourself think.

They've got a 4.7 rating from nearly 200 Google reviews, which is pretty good going. It's open from midday every day, right through till 11pm most nights, and midnight on Thursday and Sunday, so it’s handy whatever time you're knocking off work. You can find them right in the centre of Southport, and give them a bell on 01704 501888 if you want to check anything.

It’s more of a relaxed bar than a proper cocktail place, so don't expect anything too fancy. Worth a pop in, though.

Just a heads up, it can get pretty lively on a Friday and Saturday night, so maybe get there early if you want a seat.
