Tipple Bar

If you're knocking about Ainsdale and fancy a drink, Tipple Bar is a solid shout. It's got a good reputation, sitting at 4.5 stars from over 650 Google reviews. It's not just a nighttime spot either; they're open early, from 9am every day, so you could pop in for a coffee if you wanted. It's more of a modern bar than an old man's pub – think cocktails and a bit of a buzz, especially later on.

They've got a decent selection of drinks, and it's usually got a good atmosphere, without being rowdy. It's not dirt cheap, I'd put it in the 'mid-range' for prices around here – so a good option if you're meeting mates rather than seeking the cheapest pint. The staff are generally friendly, and I've seen a few dogs in there too, so it seems they're welcome.

It's open late on weekends, until 11pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, which is handy. You can give them a ring on 01704 577333 if you need to.

Worth checking their website (tipple-bar.co.uk) for any special offers or events before you go.
