Thomas Frost
Located a short 5 minute walk from Goodison Park, this Wetherspoon chain pub has a mix of Everton fans and away support, creating a great atmosphere. If you’re a fan of cheap pints & food, then this is the place for you.
I’ve personally visited this pub a few times and it’s your classic Spoons pub. Nothing more, nothing less. They have a couple screens in the pub which show the pre-match build-up, however, I found chatting to some of the locals more entertaining!
Overall, this is a great choice if you don’t fancy a long walk to the stadium (especially after a few pints), and it’s a familiar Wetherspoons. You get what you pay for!

The Winslow Hotel
Home fans, this ones for you. Rated the best Everton FC pub by the Liverpool Echo, The Winslow Hotel is an iconic pub in Evertonian history.

Whether it’s a Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur or an FA cup game vs Crystal Palace, the Winslow Hotel is always full of Everton supporters creating an electric pre-match atmosphere.
One of my lifelong friends who supports Everton told me that it’s a must-visit if you are a fan of The Toffees, “a once in a lifetime experience”. In my opinion (and the fans of Everton), this is the best pub for Everton fans near Goodison Park.

Liverpool City Centre
For away fans visiting Goodison Park to watch an Everton Match, I’ve found the city centre is a great place to enjoy some pre-match drinks before taking public transport to the stadium.
I recommended The Grapes, a historic pub with great atmosphere and The Globe, a popular spot with a range of beers on tap. Both pubs are conveniently located near Liverpool Lime Street Station, where fans can catch a train to Goodison Park.
