Sport

Liverpool is well known for its love for football. Home to two of the Premiership’s biggest football teams, both Liverpool and Everton Football Clubs are a mile or so from the city centre.

When it comes to big games, bars and pubs all over Liverpool offer the chance to watch on cinema style screens.

Bars include McCooley’s, Bierkeller, and on Smithdown Road, The Brookhouse. Arrive early though, as places fill up quickly!
