The 2024/25 campaign will be the last time Everton will ever play their football at their iconic Goodison Park ground, which its fans have loved for many years now.

With that in mind, here are the best pubs near Goodison Park for both home and away supporters so you can get yourself in a party-like mood before the game.

Everton fans have a wide variety of choices when it comes to pubs in the Goodison Park area, with the fanbase calling more than one bar home over the years.
A standout option is The Winslow Hotel – an establishment frequented by Evertonians since the ground opened, all the way back in 1892.
That, of course, is not your only option, with our full list of the best pubs near Goodison Park for Everton fans as follows:
- The Winslow Hotel, 31 Goodison Rd, Liverpool L4 4EH – 1-minute walk to the stadium
- The Spellow, 79 Goodison Rd, Liverpool L4 4EN – 2-minute walk to the stadium
- The Brick, 44 County Rd, Liverpool L4 3QL – 3-minute walk to the stadium
- The Abbey, Tetlow Street, Walton Lane, Liverpool L4 4LE – 4-minute walk to the stadium
- The Thomas Frost, 177-187 Walton Rd, Liverpool L4 4AJ – 8-minute walk to the stadium
- Black Horse, 284 County Rd, Walton, Liverpool L4 5PW – 14-minute walk to the stadium
Many of these pubs run a strict Everton-fan-only policy on matchday, meaning that a valid ticket or Everton membership card may be required before being granted entry into the premises.

As you might expect, options for away fans looking for pubs near Goodison Park are a little more scarce, but there are some great offerings nonetheless.
The pick of the bunch may just be The Thomas Frost, a JD Wetherspoons that is away-fan-friendly and will provide the usual laid-back atmosphere and cheap drinks that the pub chain has become famous for.
Our full list of the best away fan pubs near the Everton stadium is as follows:
- The Abbey, Tetlow Street, Walton Lane, Liverpool L4 4LE – 4-minute walk to the stadium
- The Thomas Frost, 177-187 Walton Rd, Liverpool L4 4AJ – 8-minute walk to the stadium
- The Arkles, 77 Anfield Rd, Anfield, Liverpool L4 0TJ – 17-minute walk to the stadium
Another option to consider is Liverpool city centre, which although further out, is just a short journey on public transport away from Goodison Park, and will open up far more choices as most pubs in the area will be away-fan-friendly.
Drinking inside Goodison Park
However, we are aware that not every football fan is particularly fond of pubs altogether, in which case, you may decide to head straight to Goodison Park and get your pre-match drinks there instead.
Unlike many clubs in the Premier League, this option won't break your bank balance, with a pint at the ground costing between £5 and £6 on average – that is somewhat of a bargain when compared to other teams in the division.
Ale and lager choices will be more limited than those of the pubs mentioned in this list, but offerings such as Kingstone Press Classic Apple Cider and Worthington's Best Bitter remain popular among supporters at the ground.
