The Falstaff

The Falstaff is somewhat oddly located compared to a lot of its pub rivals. Somewhat removed from the immediate town centre which is obviously very busy, especially of a weekend, its location down King Street means it probably misses out on business to a certain extent as many drinkers choose the convenience of the pubs closer to the centre/​train station.
However if you were to make the pilgrimage to The Falstaff, you would find a very pleasant and decently-​sized pub that offers its drinkers a lively atmosphere no matter what day it is.
The selection of draught beers on offer there is pretty good as well as being quite cheap and is complimented by regular offers on spirits and bottles of wine too. They also have a food menu which features all the usual pub classics that are well-​made and very nice without being too expensive.
In terms of entertainment, The Falstaff goes all out to keep its customers from being bored as they manage to put on some form of entertainment practically every night there, including karaōke, discos and bingo.
Definitely a good place to go if you like your pubs lively and fun.

When the girls decided to go on a night out in Southport, we decided it was best to have some sustenance first. I was sent on a reccie and picked The Falstaff pub for our early dinner, conveniently located 2 doors down from our B&B and with a few minute’s walk of the town centre. Inside, the pub has a traditional feel and despite being ‘outsiders’, we were made to feel very welcome. The food was your typical pub grub but many of the dishes came with The Falstaff’s homemade chips as part of their campaign for real chips (a homage to Gordon Ramsay’s campaign for real gravy). I have to say the chips were divine and my omelet went down a treat to. Service was quick and friendly and the prices were very reasonable. I’d definitely recommend a visit to The Falstaff, if only to taste the fantastic chips!
