A new American-themed bar is coming to one area of Merseyside.
‘Maverick’s’ an American Themed Dive Bar will be opening on the corner of Lord Street and Leicester Street in Southport. The bar is being opened by the Mikhail Hotel and Leisure Group who own several other venues around Liverpool.
The owners claim that this Top Gun-inspired venue has been "obsessively curated" to mimic life in an American dive bar. The building, formerly a Pizza Express, has sat empty for several years.

The opening of the latest bar will be the group’s sixth venue in Southport with five of those located in The Northern Quarter, including The Bold Hotel, Lord Street Hotel, Punch Tarmey’s, and The Grand.
Mavericks will be decked out with "all the hallmarks of the all-American bar." There will be a jukebox, vintage neon signs, a Statue of Liberty, and an American Flag. Beer will be priced from £2.95 and they will also have 12 TV screens.
Andrew Mikhail, said: "We wanted to create a venue that people could enjoy socially with friends. We developed the idea of an ‘American style’ bar that focuses on the social aspect of enjoying the company of friends and strangers, bringing something different to Southport.
"Top Gun is my favourite film of all time and so the bar just had to have a nod to the iconic Tom Cruise film. There's one thing that holds true for all American dive bars: If you visit one, you're always going to have a story to tell later, and that is what we want to achieve with Maverick’s".
