Oast House

A lively Southport pub with karaoke firmly stitched into its identity, Oast House sounds like the sort of place that wants a night out to actually feel like a night out. Dogs are welcome inside, so this is a strong choice for a livelier pub stop without leaving anyone outside.

Its social presence leans heavily into regular karaoke evenings and a hidden-gem local energy, which gives it more of a social, upbeat role than a quiet one-pint stop. This is the kind of venue that suits groups, weekend drinks and anyone not actively seeking a hushed corner and a crossword.

Strong shout for full-volume fun, later evenings and the sort of pub where the microphone may become everyone's business—and your dog calmly endures the soundtrack like a seasoned professional.
