Days Out Are For Dogs Too
Indoor Welcome Last Verified:

The Windmill in Southport is a historic pub dating back to around 1833, mixing traditional bones with a lively events calendar and a strong food-and-drink offering. Dogs are welcome inside, so everyone can settle in together for lunch, a proper night out or a casual drink without the pavement-waiting shuffle.
The pub runs live music, quizzes, open mic nights and serves a dog menu alongside its main menus, giving it a nicely social, community-minded feel. It sounds like the kind of place that can handle a relaxed pint or a full evening with equal ease, and the dog menu means hopeful noses have official backup.
Historic, lively and pleasingly well-rounded, The Windmill offers 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 that menu.
