McCooley’s
McCooley’s is an Irish sports bar that pulses with game-day excitement.
Situated in the heart of Concert Square, it's a go-to spot for football, boxing and rugby nights out.
With plenty of screens and a selection of hearty pub grub, it's one of Liverpool's best places to go to watch the big game.
The Long Shot
A newer addition to Liverpool’s sports bar scene, The Long Shot combines modernity with effortless sports spectating.
With multiple screens, a generous craft beer selection, and American-style food, what’s more to want on a night of sports viewing.
Legends Sports Bar
Legends fits its name to a tee; wall-to-wall sport, nostalgic memorabilia and a phenomenal atmosphere.
Located near Matthew Street, the bar shows everything sports, from the Premier League to big darting nights.
Situated in the centre of town, it's a popular spot amongst Liverpool and Everton fans looking to grab a quick pint before heading to their respective matches.
The Bastion Bar & Restaurant
Part bar, part tribute to Bill Shankly, The Bastion offers a unique matchday experience.
While slightly more upmarket than your typical sports bar, its game-day atmosphere is second to none.
The memorabilia alone makes the bar a must-see, and if you are a Liverpool fan, there's no better place outside of Anfield to settle down ahead of the game.
Bierkeller
German football fans look no further, Bierkeller is the place to go if you are hoping to catch all the latest Bundesliga action.
Serving German steins and home to a free-flowing party ambience, a night out here can get a bit messy, but with plenty of pool tables, there's always something to keep you occupied between the sporting action.
Summary
