McCoy's

You know the sort of place — McCoy's is where you pitch up when there's a match on and you want to actually watch it with people who give a toss. Sankey Street's got a fair few watering holes, but this one's got that unforced, no-nonsense atmosphere that only comes from years of doing one thing right. It's the kind of bar where regulars have their spots, the banter flows freely, and nobody's pretending to be somewhere fancier than they are. Whether you're catching the Premier League, a big European night, or just want somewhere that feels properly lived-in, McCoy's delivers without trying too hard.
