The Phoenix is a bit of an odd choice for the name of a pub. According to Greek mythology, a phoenix is a mythical firebird with a colourful plumage and tail of gold and scarlet which lives for 500 to 1000 years. Not quite the sort of animal that you’d associate with drinking. But then again, what animal would you associate with drinking? A sloth, perhaps?
Name issues aside, The Phoenix is a fairly large pub near to Southport’s beach front that serves a good selection of draught lagers and ales on tap all at reasonable prices. It also does food until 9pm everyday, with their menu offering a range of pub classics that are all pretty cheap and can include drinks deals with them as well.
The atmosphere in the pub of a daytime is pretty relaxed and casual (unless there’s a game on, of course) but at night, the lights go down and the music goes up as a resident DJ gets the party atmosphere going in an attempt to start your night out off in style. This is helped by several great drinks deals, making it one of the cheapest pubs to drink in.
All in all, The Phoenix is a very decent place to go if you fancy a drink and a bite to eat or if you’re looking for somewhere to begin a messy night out.
