Handymans Supermarket

You'll find yourself in a genuinely unpretentious space that feels like it's been pulling pints and serving decent grub for years. Smithdown Road's got that lived-in vibe, and Handymans slots right in—it's the kind of place where regulars actually talk to each other at the bar. The beer selection is what draws people: they've got rotating taps that take their brewing seriously, and the food doesn't pretend to be something it's not. It's the opposite of trying too hard, which is precisely why locals keep coming back.
