BEFORE YOU SET OFF

Put your trip together

01 · Arrive

Your route into Hill Dickinson Stadium

Go through Gate E for the visiting end, then follow the signs to turnstile block 24 in the north-east corner of Hill Dickinson Stadium. The away section is in the North Stand, and the visiting ticket office is beside those turnstiles. Do not head for the old Goodison Park ground. From Sandhills, follow the matchday pedestrian signs down towards Regent Road and the dock wall, then use the marked stadium access gates. The Budweiser Plaza normally opens three hours before kick-off and away turnstiles two hours before. Leave time for ticket checks, searches and the walk around the stadium perimeter.

02 · Before the match

Budweiser Plaza at Hill Dickinson Stadium

The stadium plaza is the dependable last pre-match stop before the turnstiles. Away supporters can access the plaza because it is on the route to the visiting turnstiles, but no current source found gives a general away-colours or family-suitability policy for the plaza itself.

03 · Stay or head home?

Choose your base before your hotel

Stay in Liverpool city centre if you want the easiest mix of trains, pubs and food before or after an Everton away match. Around Moorfields, Dale Street or the waterfront, you can choose between walking towards Hill Dickinson Stadium, taking a Merseyrail train or using a matchday shuttle.

Bramley Social

Good for home supporters wanting a fan-zone atmosphere · groups wanting multiple bars under cover

Bramley Social is an independent Everton-focused fan hub opposite the dock, built around pre- and post-match entertainment. Its current site advertises six bars, live music and giant screens for Everton fixtures; the Marquee section adds rotating street-food vendors and a stated 1,500-person capacity.

Expect Everton fan hub · live music · multiple bars

Before you go The venue strongly markets itself around Everton supporters, but no current source found states a standing policy for visiting fans or away colours.

food

Baltic Market

Good for families and mixed-age groups · food-first pre-match plans

Baltic Market is a strong food-first option in the wider area that current visiting-supporter guidance already identifies as useful for away fans. The market itself has a broad trader mix and explicitly welcomes families and children, making it a practical alternative to an alcohol-led pub stop.

Expect street-food hall · mixed groups · informal city-centre base

Before you go No Everton-specific away-colours or football admission policy was found for the market.

Cains Brewery, Stanhope Street, Liverpool L8 5XJ

Pub food

The North Western

40 min walk

Good for train arrivals · meeting point

The most practical rail-arrival pub. Current away guidance names it for visiting groups, it opens early and keeps you beside Lime Street for the onward shuttle or city-centre rail connection.

Expect station · busy · practical

Before you go No current published away-colours guarantee was found.

Food & drink
Breakfast and the standard all-day pub menu make it useful for early trains and televised lunchtime kick-offs rather than as a destination meal.

Hill Dickinson Stadium Visiting Supporters' Concourse

0 min walk

Good for certainty · late arrivals

A better fallback than many Premier League away concourses. There are two substantial kiosks and a documented choice between pies and sausage rolls or chicken-and-chips dishes.

Expect away only · cashless · concourse

Before you go Alcohol sales can be suspended on Merseyside Police advice. Half-time queues have drawn supporter criticism, so eat before the rush if food matters.

Food & drink
Dockyard Kitchen serves pies and sausage rolls; Flightbirds serves crispy chicken and chips and salt-and-pepper chicken, with beer, cider, hot and soft drinks also listed.

breakfast and brunch

Dale Street Kitchen

Good for early train · 12:30 kick-off

The strongest food-first option for an early kick-off. It opens at 08:00 every day and sits in the same city-centre zone used by away drinkers before the onward journey.

Expect breakfast · city centre · independent

Before you go It is walk-ins only and warns that tables cannot be guaranteed. No football-specific colours policy was found.

Moose Coffee - Dale Street

Good for breakfast · families

A second strong early-arrival breakfast choice on Dale Street. It opens at 08:00 and suits supporters who want a substantial sit-down brunch before pubs and stadium queues build.

Expect brunch · city centre · family friendly

Before you go The venue says weekends can queue despite taking bookings and walk-ins. Leave enough time for the onward stadium journey.

Food & drink
North American breakfast and brunch is the speciality, including fresh-made buttermilk pancakes, eggs, potato hash and substantial breakfast dishes.

Canarian and Spanish sandwiches

Castro's Cafeteria

Good for sandwich · grab and go

A better quick bite than a generic chain: substantial Canarian sandwiches from 09:00, with current Everton supporters repeatedly singling Castro's out when discussing the Dale Street pub area.

Expect quick · independent · sandwiches

Before you go It is public rather than football-specific, and away colours are unverified.

Food & drink
Weekend brunch runs before noon, with lunch and main menus later; Sunday roasts are a regular speciality.

WHERE TO STAY

Choose a base for the football and the rest of your visit.

Where to stay

Stay in Liverpool city centre if you want the easiest mix of trains, pubs and food before or after an Everton away match. Around Moorfields, Dale Street or the waterfront, you can choose between walking towards Hill Dickinson Stadium, taking a Merseyrail train or using a matchday shuttle. It also makes a late arrival into Lime Street simpler. The Stanley Dock area is nearer the stadium, with Titanic Hotel as a distinctive option, but there is less choice of independent evening venues within a short walk. Princes Dock and the northern waterfront are a middle ground between the centre and the stadium. For an early return train, favour a hotel close to Lime Street rather than one requiring another post-match connection.

Liverpool city-centre and waterfront hotel areas ↗

For most supporters, the northern waterfront/city-centre edge is the best compromise: it keeps the stadium walk manageable without leaving you isolated after the match. Choose Stanley Dock if getting to and from the ground on foot matters more than the evening. Choose Ropewalks if the post-match night out matters most and accept that the stadium leg is a separate journey.

Near the ground

Bramley-Moore Dock and the surrounding Vauxhall/north-docks area are still much more stadium-and-dockland than conventional city-centre hotel district. The walk is straightforward from the south along the waterfront/dock-road side, but the area immediately around the ground is not Liverpool's main concentration of bars, restaurants or late-night venues.

For the evening

Ropewalks is the clearest all-round nightlife base, especially Seel Street, Bold Street, Slater Street, Fleet Street and Concert Square. The Cavern Quarter is another strong option for live music and pubs. These areas are compact and walkable once you are back in the centre.

For the train

Liverpool Lime Street is the main inter-city arrival point. Liverpool Central serves Ropewalks, while Moorfields is useful for the business district/waterfront. On Everton matchdays Merseytravel advises Sandhills after the game and also runs city-centre shuttles, including the 919 from Commutation Row near Lime Street and the 929 from Liverpool ONE.

Hotels to compare
