I had a few reservations about visiting this place as it doesn't look at all inviting. A very bland frontage on a main road squeezed in between shops. Quite frankly it looks rough & ready. Inside it seemed fairly friendly. Mainly full of older drinkers reading their newspapers or just enjoying a gossip. As has been mentioned before a very good choice of real ales.

A much older version of a Wetherspoons than the modern Merton Inn down the road. This one had the usual open-plan and fairly bland interior. That said, the two large pillars with seating around them helped provide something a little different. But this is a Wetherspoons that is very much showing its age. The toilets certainly need a re-vamp, or at the very least a clean. The beer range was above Wetherspoons average - Ruddles Best, Jennings Sneck Lifter, Otter Bright, Wells Bombardier, Batemans Autumn Fall and Keltec Magic. Cider was Thatchers Old Rascal. Multiple fruit machines and games machines don't add to the ambience.

Very good small Spoons with surprisingly decent real ale range and good atmosphere.

The beer is pretty good and the atmosphere is okay. However, there is a shortage of staff these days and you often have to wait a while for a drink.

Usually the beer is good and the food decent. Very friendly staff and probably the best pub in Bootle.
