The Windmill is one of Southport's oldest pubs, with records going back to around 1833, tucked just off the historic promenade on Seabank Road. It runs a busy live-music week: acoustic sets with Drew on Thursdays from 9pm, an open mic every Friday from 8.30pm, live music on Saturdays from 9pm, and a poetry and spoken-word open mic on the second Sunday of each month. A traditional real-ale pub with a big beer garden, it's a friendly stage for local performers.
