Expensive, but a great cafe.
Jamie Carragher's personal dish is the best dish on the menu.
If you get there at the right time, you might just see him there -

What I like best about Liverpool star Jamie Carragher's business venture is the addition England to the title of this very run of the mill sports bar.
I'm not sure what I am expecting from a sports bar except a good selection of screens but maybe I yearn to find somewhere that lives up to the standards set by Cheers? At Cafe Sports, however, nobody will know your name.
It's possible that Mr Carragher would think that a wet mid-week afternoon was not the best time for me to get a good flavour of the place but I have seen this place on a Saturday night and I'm not sure that's a side of the establishment that I want to reflect!
It's just bland, Sky Sports News on every screen just strikes me as a bit desperate - we need sport, any sport, even hockey news! - To be fair to the place, it does what it says on the tin and I'm sure Cafe Sports will be a good venue for the World Cup but as somewhere I have visited outside of a notable sporting event it doesn't really have much else to offer. -

Considering the fact that this is a Sports Café you'd expect wings, nachos, burgers, wedges, all the stuff you'd imagine munching on when you're watching a good game. However what's unusual about this place is that you can get proper traditional Brit main meals here. I should have noted the England in the title, huh. Guess it's less an American Sports Bar, more a pub spliced with one. Neat!
The homemade scouse takes pride of place on the menu but you can also find fish and chips, bangers and mash, cottage pie, even a chip butty or a gargantuan Yorkshire pud filled with roast beef and spuds, gravy and veg. Believe me, come here when you're ravenous because otherwise you'll be so packed full you'll want to fall bobos. You can even get breakfast here if you pop in during the morning, and it's not all fried eggs and sausages and ketchup, there's fresh fruit salad and a super muesli packed with all sorts of goodies too, so even the health conscious can enjoy a bit of sporty action in the AM. Smoothies are available all day and are deliciously tangy and pulpy.
Puddings are classics like fudge cake, carrot cake, banana split and sticky toffee pudding and come highly recommended along with their sorbets and yoghurts. The place is packed full of lots of tasteful sports memorabilia and there's a plethora of TV screens so no one misses out on the nice sporting view which is rather excellent. Seriously, if you need a treat I'd say it's one of the best places to watch a game and chow down on some stodge or get a smoothie and superfood fix. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I'm not even that into sports. -

Nice modern bar, with table service. Not the cheapest, but a solid place for a quick pint.

Brilliant restaurant/Bar. I booked a booth when Liverpool were playing West Ham United. The atmosphere was excellent with Tv's everywhere. The booth was brilliant with our own TV to look at. The food was to a high standard. I recommend getting some bread for starters. It was freshly made on site and came out still steaming. Olive oil and Balsamic for dipping. SO GOOD! You do pay a little bit more then usual. I'm from London though and actually thought the prices were quite cheap. The staff were all very helpful and really smiley. They had plenty of banter and responded promptly to requests. Definitely go there when a liverpool game is on. They had half time entertainment from an impressionist. The atmosphere was wicked!
