Liverpool’s best Irish pubs

Are you ready to add some whisky to that water? Well, Castle St Townhouse offers a wide selection of spirits, wines and draft lagers, so there’s something for everyone here. If you’re looking for an authentic Irish drink, why not try a Jameson’s and ginger? Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, the Jameson’s orange on the rocks… it’s delicious! And, if you love live music, on Friday and Saturday nights the DJs come in so you can fill the floor and dance until late with your drinks in hand.

McCooley’s is located in Concert Square – a bustling area in the heart of the city with a central courtyard offering outdoor heaters, booming music and a great atmosphere, this is the drinking heart of the city. People flock in from far and wide to enjoy the variety of clubs and pubs in this area including McCooley’s Irish bar, SOHO and MODO which offer music to suit everyone. McCooley’s is open from 8am daily. Showing all sporting events on large screens and LED televisions, this is the perfect destination for sport fans. It also has live music on every night of the week and on the weekends there’s a DJ playing crowd pleasing tunes until 4am. This is the perfect location for a Saturday night of partying!

If you’re looking for a truly authentic Irish pub then look no further! Pogue Mahone doesn’t serve food but it makes up for it with its traditional Irish drinks; think Guinness, Irish Coffee, a Buckfast Negroni and an Irish Gold. Intrigued? Why not head to Pogue’s on the top of the iconic Steel Street! And what’s more, an Irish pub isn’t an Irish pub without live music seven nights a week AND all the live sport on big screens every day. Head down for some of the best ‘craic’ in the city.

Start your day the right way with Flanagan’s delicious traditional Irish breakfast. You can even order a MEGA Irish breakfast for under £10, which is incredible value, or a vegetarian breakfast. If you fancy something lighter then why not go for the French toast with bacon? Another traditional Irish dish you have to try is the Beef and Guinness Pie – slow-cooked beef in a Guinness and onion gravy with puff pastry, served with steamed veg, gravy and seasoned triple-cooked chips and a pint of ice cold Guinness, of course!

Winner of a 2021 Travellers’ Choice Award, The Horse and Jockey is the home of amazing, freshly cooked pub food including pies, hunter’s chicken and lasagne, plus an extensive range of beers, wines and cocktails. Not to mention it’s family-friendly, including four-legged family members, too! If you’re looking for a taste of authentic Ireland, beverages like Guinness and whisky are available, as well as the famous Taytos crisps!
