I’ve been on some good night outs in Sport’s café as well as seen some nail biting football games here. However since those days the place has deteriorated some what. It has developed a bit of a reputation and not the good kind. Where once it was a perfectly valid drinking hole, nowadays is a bit of a health hazard thanks to a slightly Chavvy crowd unable to hold their drink. It only takes one incident to drive away business. While I didn’t have such an experience I have heard enough from trusted friendly sources to suggest that I should steer clear. It is such a shame because it has a lot to offer in terms of food and beverage. Gone are the days however when you could relax and have a bite to eat. Mind you it’s not all doom and gloom. One man’s loss is another man’s gain. If you are into cricket for example, this place transforms into a great place for you. Mainly because luckily the Chav factor is removed and you can view a great Ashes match live on a Sunday afternoon in relative peace. In conclusion if you want to watch England play football avoid this place. If you want to watch them play any other sports this place isn’t half bad. I haven’t mentioned the food because it doesn’t really deserve much of a mention and is mainly comfort food. A-ok but nothing to shout home about.

The Sports Café is the number one venue for watching Sports in Liverpool, though there are many others like it. They show live football, rugby, cricket, tennis plus along with many other sports, Within the Sports Café it caters for everyone’s needs offering 4 bars and 3 floors to choose from. The Sports Café isn’t just a place to watch the footie but is also a restaurant, bar and nightclub. If you are looking to have a big party then you can hold it here, they allow functions, corporate and promotional events. The last time I was there the Sports Café was doing two student nights each week, one was ‘Happy Mondays’ and the other was ‘Friday Basement’ which basically means that they were offering drinks cheap; £1 pint and £1 shots. You might want to double check website to be sure they still on though. They also offer a range of randomness, such as bucking broncos, dueling jousts, and Sumo wrestling matches; one of my personal favourite!
