WHEN the sun is shining on a hot summer’s day, not much beats a cold, refreshing drink in a beer garden.
A drink or two al fresco with family and friends is the perfect way to enjoy the warm weather.
But where is the best beer garden in Wirral?
Which pub, restaurant or café is your favourite place to enjoy a pint or a glass of wine outdoors with a few bar snacks?
Last week, we asked for your beer garden nominations and you sent us your favourite places.
We’ve compiled a list of the top 12 places that are ideal for a drink al fresco in a bid to find Wirral’s Best Beer Garden.
And don’t forget that if you fill in the coupon inside this week’s Wirral Globe and email it to us, it gives five votes to your favourite.
