Plenty of places around there mate. Penny lane wine bar loads on allerton road...smithdown you've the brookhouse dirty Nellie's...loads of selection mate to be fair
Aye. I'll be at Nellies, but I've also been in Fogherty's further up Smithdown, they'll be showing it too I imagine.
Lark Lane appears to be ticket only, so probably best avoiding. I'd steer clear of the Brookhouse too, only because it's so big. Bigger the pub, the more people inside, the harder it will be to fight your way to the bar and the longer you wait to get served.
The Willow Bank by Asda on Smithdown usually show the game, as does Kelly's. Plenty of good options that keep you out of the city centre.
