Harbour Cafe Bar in Sefton

Tidy and impressive little place food was served very nicely and although not big portions they were enough we will definitely go back.

I would not select this cafe for a meal as they only have two share plate options and then some cakes. Service also not expected. We ordered a ploughman’s style sharing platter and was given only a fork as they had no clean knives!. Obviously a lot of work to clean one. There is also not really an inclusive menu. Two young ladies serving and did things as they remembered them as our coffees arrived in two batches with other tables served in between. Pity looked a nice place. Please like if it helped.

Found this place in ainsdale village , staff very friendly and cake choices very good , and great choice of drinks available , stopped here twice during our 4 day stay , highly reccomended if in ainsdale

Found out on a recent visit that there has been a change of ownership. No food other than toast. Not very clean which is a worry considering Covid. Dirty floor and windows. Tables not cleaned. Ladies toilet hadn’t been cleaned, no toilet roll. Really hope this is just a blip as it used to be one of our favourites.

Breakfast cooked to perfection, beautifully presented. Waiting staff were friendly and efficient. Coffee really nice. Absolutely recommend it.

I’ve now lived in birkdale 3 years and without doubt ! The best breakfast in Southport , hats off to the staff . Also the bar is incredibly clean . Now my first choice.

First time eating here and wow it was amazing. We had a group of 4 of us for breakfast, the menu is only small which I think helps with the quality of the food. Very high quality meat for my cooked breakfast. They had some nice options such as Avocado, soda bread and poached eggs, looking forward to our next visit.

Visited this cafe bar for the first time recently. The staff were efficient and friendly and kept everywhere clean and tidy. Masks were fully on their faces at all times, which is much appreciated, thank you. I would just like to say, please can you make the coffee stronger in general, as it is a very very weak cup of coffee if this is your regular standard cup served. Other than that, I would return, as the cafe has a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere - thank you.

Fabulous service and lovely atmosphere,lovely place to stop and watch the world go by.wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this lovely place

Love this place-very lucky to have this Gem in our village! Staff are friendly, chorizo chilli jam is a must and the owners are amazing

This was our first visit to Harbour Cafe Bar. The owner was really helpful when I was booking and offered to keep the kitchen open a bit later for us. The staff were nice and friendly and the food was delicious. Next time we visit Ainsdale we’d definitely go back.

Great place to drop in for Breakfast after a walk around the local woods, lovely breakfast and coffee along with welcoming staff!

We gave one of our local bars a try for breakfast after a visit last year when we vowed never to return as we were treated to some shoddy service. The breakfast was recommended and it was good, when it came. We only waited 90 minutes from ordering. It turned out that our order went to another couple and I'm surprised they didn't complain that they had the wrong food. After ours (theirs) came to us and we pointed out that we didn't order this the other couple took notice. Farcical. The waitress got into work after we placed our order but you would think the correct table would be identified. There's only room for about 5 couples anyway! So, after 90 minutes, when the correct food arrived and the other couple had left our food and paid for it (mugs). It was all rather nice. Good quality well cooked. Mind you we were hungry by now. £20 for two breakfasts though was a bit over the top, good though it was. Get shut of the wait staff and we'll come back. Plenty of competition out there folks. People will vote with their wallets and you could have lost 4 customers there as I'm sure the mugs that ate our food won't be coming back.

1st time visit for a birthday breakfast. Wanted something different in an unhurried environment and that is exactly what we got! Great service - with a smile too! And fabulous coffees made with care.

The staff are very friendly and the coffee is very good. It is nicely served with a little biscuit, choccy bar or tray bake. The only problem is if it is busy, which it most often is, is that the service is slow and you have to wait quite a long time for your drink. They really need to have extra staff to cover their very busy periods.

Coffees full of flavour and accompanied with a biscuit. Pleasant way to enjoy same in the outdoor seating area on a Summer 's afternoon.

I have often enjoyed the ambience of the bar whether it be for a coffee or a glass of wine taken outside or a pint or two indoors. However I had not eaten there before last week when we stopped by for a spot of lunch. My smoked salmon and cream cheese was excellent and my friend told me his lunch was the best he had eaten in the village.The Harbour Bar has always been well worth a visit and I can now also recommend the food.

Had this to go. The initial service was a bit slow but the product itself earned it's £7 price tag. There were 3 slices of emmental and pastrami, the whole thing was beyond delicious.

So lovely to sit and read the papers, watch the world go by with an oat latte. Very grateful us folk with milk allergies are catered for...hassle free. A gem in Ainsdale Village

A great little bar with friendly and helpful staff and good quality drinks. Will definitely be visiting again.

Visited here a couples of times. Once for Brunch, an evening for a deserved drink and yesterday for Lunch. There are seats inside and out and the sun shines straight onto the front. Due to the depth of the pavement, this cafe is set back from pedestrians and traffic flow. I think it is fair to say that week days are probably quieter, whist weekends busier. The food is freshly made and presented beautifully. Yes you have to wait for your food, however it’s well worth it, and as the atmosphere is relaxing, especially with the buzz of conversations, time passes quickly. I would heartily recommend this little cafe, be you local or passing through.

Nice little bar, where we popped in for a quick drink on the way to meet friends. Decent glass of white wine, and I ordered a Theakstons IPA. This was to say the least lively, and would not have settled for 15 mins. I asked for a different beer and it was provided. Excellent service, and the only reason for the review. The female member of staff then went off shift at 7pm. you know who you are, - good stuff.

I had the best eggs benedict I've ever had at this cafe today. Delish 😋. I'll be back to sample their breakfast soon.

Love this place always busy went this morning to try breakfast and I was not disappointed great eggs Florentine I cannot I recommend this place more

Love this place always busy always a great pint and lovely sandwich. Great outside seating in the summer a must try in ainsdale village

Fantastic bar and lovely staff. All four of us had a lovely breakfast and couldn't fault the food or service. We went back in the evening and enjoyed the quiz night. Fantastic selection of beers for me and my friend and a good selection of gins for my partner and her cousin. Take advantage of this personal service bar you won't regret it. Top job

Small cafe bar in Ainsdale. Good coffee with dairy free option. Friendly staff. Some nice arm chairs inside and outside seating. Toilets. Wifi. Reasonable prices. More a cafe than food place.

The Harbour Café Bar is a small local establishment, regularly frequented by residents of the village. It is clean, bright and comfortable, the coffee, tea and food are all excellent, and well presented by friendly and helpful staff.

A lovely evening till my cousin fell asleep at the bar due to travelling from Italy we were rapidly asked to leave and enjoyed a drink and chat in another local bar😑

Called in for a coffe and saw someone earring a very nice looking sandwich. Had a go and wasn’t disappointed. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Called here by chance after taking our dog on the nearby beach. Very impressed. We only had a coffee as we had planned a bbq at home. The coffee was excellent and not expensive.

First visit and sat outside in the sunshine. Only had coffees this time but the Lattes were well presented,full of flavour and accompanied with a wafer biscuit. We will return.

Well worth a visit either for a relaxing lunch or evening drinks,if the sun is out it’s very nice to sit in the sun and enjoy

We actually only went in for a coffee on the way to somewhere in Ainsdale, but we were so impressed. Polite efficient service, an excellent cappucino coffee with generous wafer biscuit. The cakes looked so tempting but we had to resist.

staff are great and friendly, beer is lovely, coffee is tasty and food yummy. no where better on a summers day. dog friendly aswell

Pop into the Harbour frequently whether for a coffee or a cocktail. Excellent service and ambience Great food

Popped in for a bite to eat and a beer,all in all very nice and would recommend will return in the not to distant future.

Love going to the harbour bar we go nearly every afternoon love the coffees and free wafer biscuit friendly staff Mel and dazreally friendly food lovely staff are lovely only a small bar but we are always made welcome there nice and clean and the toilets are always clean this is are local now made some lovely friends in the harbour barb

Sometimes, not getting into the restaurant first chosen can be a blessing as found when I happened upon the Harbour Cafe.

After recently moving to ainsdale and not knowing many people, i thought i would venture out and see whsts there. The staff in Harbour cafe bar made me feel very welcome and now this has become my favourite watering hole.

We came to this lovely cafe for a small family wedding breakfast. The service was quick and the staff pleasant. The food was delicious! Highly recommeded!

Love visiting this bar. On a nice day you can relax and watch the world go by. If not so good then enjoy a cosy atmosphere inside. Friendly staff making your feel comfortable in or out. Wine Wednesday, Fizzy Friday or any day of the week great place to chill.

We are regulars at this bar one of several in the area This is a great bar with a good atmosphere both in and outside Furnished well Owners and staff very friendly great bar

After waiting for a while finally got here to eat, my only regret is i never came sooner, great food great sevice loved it

This is one of those places which ticked the right boxes-although the lunchtime/afternoon menu is limited to light bites,what was delivered to the table was tip top,food & drinks.The young lady who served us was on top of her game,served and chatted with a smile & the quick service was more than welcome.We sat outside in such comfortable seating of the type we haven't experienced outside a cafe before-brilliant.The whole place was so clean & tidy including the toilets,it is a dream of a cafe.I don't hesitate in recommending this beautiful place.Would return here in a heartbeat.

Went for breakfast this morning after being recommended to go by a few different friends so thought we would give it a go and it was really lovely. Sunny day so sat outside, breakfast was delicious, loved the tray it came on, presentation was spot on. Friendly staff. Popped inside to use the loo, which were spotless and inside is small but really nicely furnished and decor is really classy. Will definately be calling in here again.

Amazing! Compliments to the chef! Very moorish. Lovely presentation. Great ambiance. Will be back soon!!

Harbor is a decent bar, excellent location especially when it is sunny. Outside seating area is great, interior is ok, nicely furnished but a bit of a square box I have been in a few times when quiet, can hear everyone's conversation. Haven't eaten here yet but sure it will be good.

Best bar in Southport. Very welcoming and great atmosphere. Staff very friendly and nothing too much trouble. Quality food served and the best breakfast in the area with quality ingredients. Can't fault the place and every time I go I have a fantastic experience.

One of a few wine bars popping up in Ainsdale and it's a nice little place - again as with most micro pubs / wine bars, there's not much space inside...but then the clues in the title (and not a Wetherspoons thankfully) and if you like independent small wine bars you'll like this place - well worth a visit.

Great place nothing to much trouble. Very welcoming nice friendly staff and lovely seating areas.

Been to Harbour now on many occasions - and at different times of the day and evening. Always a warm welcome. Friendly staff. Lovely coffee and exceptional fab breakfasts. Looking forward to the next acoustic session on Sunday afternoon!

An excellent friendly bar with a great selection of refreshments both alcohol and non alcohol. Have visited a few times and not been disappointed. Talented musicians on a Sunday afternoon too.

I love this bar. The staff are so friendly. Drinks are good and reasonably priced. Yet to try the breakfast menu.. but I'm sure it will be good

Great quality breakfast was so impressed on first visit I recommended it to a friend. A revisit was required and did not disappointed. The quality of the ingredients were first class. We can really recommend the Maine Breakfast.
