Our Take on The
sports pub The Twelfth Man is the Aigburth casual sports pub that operates as one of the city's most consistent neutral options outside the matchday core, with a screen layout built for a multi-sport schedule rather than the single-team focus that defines the Anfield and Goodison rooms. The audio is mixed competently across SPL, Champions League, rugby internationals and increasingly the Lancashire-and-Yorkshire rugby league fixtures that thread through the calendar.
The beer programme runs Tetley's, lager and a small but genuine craft rotation; the food is honest pub work with a respectable pre-match menu. The crowd is South Liverpool local rather than partisan, which makes the room a useful counterweight to the more famous matchday pubs. It ranks fourth because the neutral identity is held consistently and the multi-sport calendar is taken more seriously than at most casual pubs.
