Drink in St Helens (England)
St Helens has an exciting and extensive list of bars and pubs, catering for all tastes. Monday and Tuesday nights don't provide much excitement, while Friday and Saturday are the busiest nights out. There are enough bars and pubs in town centre to stop you getting bored, so it's often good to try the different spots and see what suits your taste most for your night out. There's a good mix of age, so don't feel like you'll be surrounded by students. There are few youth-only bars so people don't typically feel out of place.
There is no dress code for a night out but don't expect to be refused entry if you haven't at least made the effort. Jeans are ok for most places, but trainers/sneakers aren't usually allowed for popular nights when the bar is already populated. Jogging pants, shorts, tracksuits will never get you accepted into any of the bars no matter what night. 'Casual smart' is the typical unspoken dress code. Be warned, like most towns and cities, certain bars and pubs may make you feel hostile because of the way you are dressed or the way you act. Make sure to check the Be safe section when in town at nighttime.
With Bar Diva and Flex 2 and an increased police presence, there appears to be a slowly improving acceptance of gays and lesbians in many of the pubs around the town, including The Counting House.

The Glass House (JD Wetherspoon) - Market Street, WA10 1NE
Quiet and clean, a good place to go for a drink and a chat, but doesn't play any music. Suits some people, but not those who are out for a dance.
Ice Bar - 58 Ormskirk Street, WA10 2TF
A small bar, with good drinks, nice atmosphere, karaoke friday, saturday and sunday nights and live acts on sunday afternoons
Maloney's Cocktail Bar - Waterloo Street
Fantastic bar, but don't expect something different than a cocktail when ordering. The bar staff are trained to flair and put on a show spraying alcohol everywhere. It's a novelty, but it comes at a price. The drinks are very expensive, but the nights out are sometimes worth the money.

re-opened Sep 2009 - formerly Nexus Cafe Bar.
Hour Glass - Chalon Way West, WA10 1BL

Zoo Cafe Bar - 52 Westfield Street, WA10 1QJ
Mixes entertainment and a night out on the tiles, "The Zoo" has a regular programme of great bands, comedy and acts. It's worth checking out for what's on. Those who are dressed up smart or trendy won't really fit in.
Westfields Cafe Bar - 37 Westfield Street, WA10 1QJ
An up and coming bar recently transformed into a funky lounge with fresh beats, the staff are excellent and the clientele modern.
La Casa Vieja, 6-12 Bickerstaffe St WA10 1DH, . Relaxed tapas bar serving Spanish cuisine within the George Street Cultural Quarter. This friendly, laid-back Spanish restaurant offers tapas and an excellent a la carte menu. �
