About This Spot

Stepping into The NEW Southport Tavern, you immediately feel welcomed into a space that balances lively buzz with a grounded, easygoing charm. Nestled just off the train station on London Street, this bar offers a familiar yet fresh gathering spot where locals and visitors alike find their rhythm—whether it's settling into a quiet corner or joining the hum of weekend karaoke and live music.

The atmosphere here moves with a steady, inviting pace. There’s the steady draw of live sports playing across multiple screens, the friendly nods from staff you might recognize from past visits, and the occasional cheers erupting from the dartboard or pool table areas. It’s a place that knows its community well, where the front room offers a cozy refuge after a long day, while the garden seating invites you to linger when the weather allows.

Food and drink at The NEW Southport Tavern slide naturally into this human moment. Whether it’s warming up over a hearty plate of lamb shank after work, sharing a casual jumbo hot dog with friends, or unwinding with a perfectly poured pint of ale or a sharp passion fruit vodka lemonade, choices feel like they were crafted with real guests in mind—not just a menu. This is a place where the comfort of familiar pub classics meets an unhurried pride in genuinely good ingredients and well-poured drinks.

More than just a stop for a quick pint, The NEW Southport Tavern quietly supports the rhythms of local life with weekly live bingo, quizzes, and regular showcases of Southport’s own brewery ales. It’s a spot where personal milestones are marked with warm gatherings, where the staff’s kindness leaves a lasting impression, and where returning visitors find themselves as part of the ongoing story.

In a town known for its coastal charm, this tavern offers something a little different—a welcoming pause, a friendly smile, and a steady pulse of community spirit that feels just like home.

Great local pub. Live sports all around the bar. Clean floors and tables. First place to go just outside the train station after a long day at work with a cosy front room, darts board and pool tables. Live Bingo and Quiz with cash prizes. Weekly Southport brewery Ale. Karaoke and live music on the weekend. Lovely welcoming and friendly staff. Will be visiting regularly with friends and family.

Had my 30th Birthday here at the beginning of March. The room hire was free. Steve and the staff were amazing! The service was great. Steve was very helpful with the booking and preperations. Thank you to the whole team for making my birthday celebrations so special! I always come to this pub when I'm out and about. Great place to watch football as well, and perfect for a pre match pint when we go to the game. The train times are up on display which is very helpful. You can tell Steve and his team have worked really hard to totally transform this pub! Steve always makes time for his customers as well, he's a genuine and lovely person, as are all the staff here.

Popped in for a quick drink while waiting for our daughter's train. Very nice looking pub. Was quiet when we were there, but still had a friendly atmosphere, good service and decent beer. Nice decor, seems like a very nice pub. Huge inside too!

Good band venue. Spent New year's eve into 2024 here. Great staff, dog friendly, and Karaoke nights on Fridays. Great atmosphere.

Steve the new owner was an absolute gem and helped us out with a venue last minute, when our original one had fallen through! It was for a christening of around 35/40 adults and 10 kids and they were so accommodating throughout. They gave us pretty much a private room (it is open plan to the bar but with the walls it feels really secluded and away from the general public) And let us in the night before to set up and store the cake and fridge bits. We were then able to keep the cake there again till today along with all the balloons. The day itself was perfect! Friendly bar staff and absolutely no issues. Everyone kept commenting on how lovely the venue was. Steve has completely turned the bar around. Brilliant family friendly atmosphere! I’ve promised I will be back for their Friday night karaoke and possibly even a quiz night or 2 also! Will also be keeping them in mind for the next time I need a venue hire! Highly recommended to anyone needing a venue hire suitable for kids too in the town centre!
