Days Out Are For Dogs Too
Last Updated:

One of Southport’s older pubs, The Windmill mixes history with a lively events calendar and a strong food-and-drink offering. The site describes it as dating back to around 1833, and the menus and events pages suggest a pub that is doing much more than just quietly pouring pints. Live music, quizzes, open mic nights and even a dog menu give it a nicely social, community-minded feel without losing its traditional-pub bones. It sounds like the kind of place that can handle lunch, a proper night out or a casual drink with equal ease. Historic, lively and pleasingly well-rounded.
Dog Policy:
Dogs are welcome inside, so this is a great all-round pub stop for food, drinks and a bit of Southport atmosphere. Expect lively pub energy, a relaxed settle-in and a dog very interested in the existence of a dog menu.
