My husband and I decided to visit the guest house on a whim, as we have heard they offer a great selection of real ales. Upon arrival we were met with absolute silence and zero atmosphere. However we decided to stay as the bar staff were very welcoming and very polite. They recommended ales that my husband would enjoy. I myself had an overpriced glass of wine. We were made aware that the night we attended was the weekly quiz night. Whilst waiting for the quiz to begin, we witnessed who we though was a regular (turned out to be the host of the quiz) verbally discriminating two young girls waiting at the bar. I was shocked but felt it wasn't my place to comment.
Still the best real pub in town. Lots of good beer choices, many guest ales which are changed regularly. Knowledgeable staff and a good Landlady. They do food at lunchtimes (not sure about evenings); good honest food at good prices only tried the sandwiches and the fish/chips both good quality, made to order. Will eat there again. Local friends tell me the pies are great too. Well worth visiting.
I always visit The Guest House when in Southport. Still a real pub. Great choice of beers and good atmosphere. Food available; but not all day (very sensible). Staff friendly and know their beers (I always ask them for recommendations). Long may it prosper.
Went for for the homemade steak pie which was excellent and very good value at £4.95 for pie peas, carrots and chips and the choice of 11 handpulls was great. They have also started to let dogs inside the pub but only in one room.

Choice of beers changes regularly with about five or six on at any one time. A locals bar with welcoming staff. Visited three times on my limited stay in Southport and will go again when I pass this way.
First time here and found it welcoming inside, I had one too many I suppose when I went in, good selection of beer on tap. The clientele were an older generation but I found it great in here.
A traditional pub stocking an extensive range of real ales all kept in good condition. By far the best pub we found on our visit to Southport.
We loved visiting this real British Pub. Never changed in years and I hope it never does. Great selection of beers. Well worth a visit !
