Property details
The Addison Arms is a high-energy, high-street community pub located in the centre of Bootle, directly beside the Bootle Strand Shopping Centre and within a few steps of the Bootle New Strand bus and rail interchange. Its prime position on the main route toward Everton FC’s new Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium ensures constant footfall and visibility, making it one of the most prominent and well-known pubs in the area.
This is a large, open-plan venue that has benefited from recent internal investment, offering a bright and modern trading environment. Inside, guests enjoy a spacious bar and dining layout with multiple HD screens (around 11) showing live Sky and TNT Sports, alongside daily racing coverage. The pub is also fitted with six gaming machines, adding a solid secondary income stream.
The Addison operates with a strong food and drink offer that covers breakfast through to dinner, featuring great-value meals, sharers, and cocktails. It’s known locally as the go-to destination for sports fans, families, and shoppers looking for quality and value. Entertainment plays a big role in its weekly rhythm, with quiz nights, bingo, Deal or No Deal games, and plenty of lively events that keep the atmosphere buzzing all week long. There’s also a clear opportunity to develop a live entertainment programme to further boost weekend trade.
The Addison has a loyal local following and consistently delivers annual sales in excess of £1 million, making it one of the best-performing pubs in the area. It has no private living accommodation, but what it lacks in quarters, it more than makes up for in commercial potential.
Situated right next to the Bootle Strand, the area is undergoing a multi-million-pound redevelopment to create a Baltic-style eating and drinking destination, with regular festivals and live events already taking place nearby. This regeneration, coupled with the new stadium’s opening, gives the Addison a front-row seat to a period of major growth for Bootle.
There is no private accomodation at this venue.
