Days Out Are For Dogs Too
Indoor Welcome Last Verified:

A historic Southport pub with serious old-building character, The Cheshire Lines Inn leans into live music, local atmosphere and the sort of banter-rich pub energy that makes a simple drink stop feel more memorable. Dogs are welcome inside, which means everyone can settle in together without the pavement-waiting shuffle.
It describes itself as Southport's oldest historic pub, which gives it a bit of extra weight before you even get to the pints. This feels like the kind of place built for catch-ups, slower evenings and visits where the atmosphere matters as much as what's in the glass. Expect a more traditional pub feel than polished gastropub gloss, with plenty of personality and a strong sense that the venue has stories of its own.
The combination of dog-friendly welcome and proper old-pub character makes it a useful stop for anyone who wants relaxed pints, live music and a dog making themselves at home like they know the building better than you do.
