There's something special about summer on the North West coast. The sea breeze, the buzz of visitors, and this year, the return of one of the biggest sporting events in the world as The Open heads to Southport.

Join us from Monday 13th to Sunday 19th July for authentic Smokehouse classics, a BBQ & Beer deal, limited-edition drinks specials, and a whole lot of Southern hospitality. Whether you're visiting from out of town or cheering on the action closer to home, we'll have the smoker fired up and the bar ready to welcome you.

Make a Day of It

A trip to The Open isn't just about the golf. It's about making memories.

Start your morning with a stroll along Southport's coastline, breathe in the fresh sea air, explore the town's famous Victorian streets and promenade, then make your way to Hickory's for a feast that's every bit as memorable as the golf itself.

Whether you're looking to fuel up with brunch before heading to the course, catching up with friends after the final putt, or looking for somewhere to relax away from the crowds, you'll find a table, a warm welcome and plenty of Southern hospitality waiting for you.

Sounds good, right? Check out our menu's here!

From The Fairways to BBQ Trays!

If you're feeling hungry, we've got a championship-worthy offer to match.

Order any of our legendary BBQ Trays and you can enjoy a bottle of Lone Star for just £3. It's the perfect pairing for our slow-smoked meats and a great way to round off a day spent enjoying one of golf's greatest tournaments.

Just like our authentic smoker, these beers are shipped in from the states, so once they're gone they're gone!

Raise a Glass to The Open

Our bar team have been counting down to The Open just as much as the golfers have! To celebrate, they've been busy behind the bar shaking up three limited-edition specials that'll keep you refreshed from the first tee to the final putt.

First up is the Pin Seeker Martini, created by bartender Avyn. Combining Midori, elderflower liqueur, vanilla syrup, lemon juice and apple juice this is a perfectly balanced sip that's every bit as satisfying as a hole-in-one.

For the bourbon lovers (just like us!), meet the Gator in the Rough. It's a bold blend of Evan Williams Bourbon, Bayou Spiced Rum, watermelon syrup, pineapple juice, lemon juice, Jalisco honey -  careful, bartender Ben said this one bites!

And of course, it we couldn't not give the local ledged a shout out. The Tommy Fleetwood Float, created by bartender Avyn, this playful clubhouse classic mixes cream soda syrup, cherry and Diet Coke before being topped with a nostalgic Custard Cream float.

Fancy something different? No problem. Our full drinks menu has something for everyone!

From homemade sodas and our famous Freakshakes to frozen cocktails, signature serves, sweet teas and mocktails. You'll also find a fantastic selection of draft and bottled beers, plus over 25 bourbons waiting behind the bar.

Whether you're celebrating a birdie, commiserating a bogey, or simply soaking up the atmosphere after a day on the Southport coast, our team are ready to shake, stir and pour your perfect drink.

From Royal Liverpool to Royal Birkdale

The Open has created so many unforgettable moments across the North West's iconic links courses.

We're especially proud that after lifting the Claret Jug at Royal Liverpool in 2023, Champion Golfer Brian Harman chose to celebrate his victory with us at Hickory's West Kirby. A trophy filled with Hickory's Pale Ale, and some smokin' BBQ...now that's how you celebrate a big win!

Now, as the world's best golfers head to nearby Southport, we're ready to welcome fans from across the UK and beyond for another unforgettable week.
