Where To Drink
About a 15 minute walk away from the visiting supporters entrance, is the
Thomas Frost pub on Walton Road. This Wetherspoons outlet, is a fair sized
pub, that had a good mixture of home and away supporters, when I last
visited. Peter Bennett suggests the
following; 'Pubs on Walton Lane or The Spellow and Wilnslow Hotel outside
Goodison are recommended. The only pub that away fans should avoid is The
Royal Oak.' Alcohol is
served in the away section of the ground, including
beer from the Club's sponsors Chang.
Tom Hughes adds 'The city centre is
usually the best bet for a pre-match drink, There are hundreds of pubs available ranging
from designer types to real-ale and saw dust bars. The pubs nearest to Lime Street Station
are best avoided with the exception of the big-House (the Vines) next to the Adelphi
which is worth a visit. Nearer Goodison 'The Hermitage' (a friendly pub,
5/10 minutes walk up Walton Lane and under the bridge) on Queens Drive is also
okay'. There is also a Wetherspoons across the road from Lime Street
Station, plus at the station itself, is the Head of Steam. This pub is
listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide and also has a large screen showing
sporting events when on.
