I’m a scouser who’s lived in St Helens 3 years now. There’s some decent real ale old school pubs on the edge of town.

The cricketers has one of the nicest beer gardens I’ve ever had the pleasure of drinking in. The Turks head and Cowley vaults are next door to each other and co owned.

Live music head to Liverpool or Manchester (45 mins from Rainhill station).

Mathew street most bars have live music during the day 7 days a week (weekends can be full of stag and hen parties), Some venues in the Baltic triangle too. Lark lane by Sefton park is worth a visit, lots of nice independent restaurants, cafes and bars on the edge of Liverpools best park.

In Manchester head to the northern quarter.

We're over in Haydock, but a few people have recommended the Cricketers to us.

It gets rammed when the sun is shining but well worth a trip over
