So you’ve got your match ticket but want to sample the atmosphere in one or two of the local establishments before the game kicks off? A lot has changed around Anfield with stadium development, so here is a guide to some of the best pubs around the ground before kick-off:
Albert
Walton Breck Rd
The original and still standing despite the stadium development going on around it. Packed bar but great pre-match singalong to the classic Kop songs.
Arkles
Anfield Rd
Very popular on match days. Close to the ground.
Breckside (Flat Iron)
Walton Breck Rd
Very busy pub.
Grove
Breckfield Rd
Safe for away fans.
Oakfield
Oakfield Rd
Busy and reasonably comfortable pub.
The Park
Walton Breck Rd
Over the road from The Kop and the liveliest pub before kick-off. Expect to have to queue up to get in.
The Paisley Gates (was The George)
Breck Rd
Popular and reasonably busy pub before and after the game. Good food.
The Sandon
Oakfield Rd/Houlding St
Yet another busy pub on matchday, with large outdoor area and bottle bar at the back.
The Twelfth Man
Walton Breck Rd
Yet another busy pub on matchday with great pre-match buzz.
