I went to this pub on Saturday night to see a band play. I knew the place had never sold real ale but I wasn't bothered for one evening. However upon entering I looked along the pumps and asked the young barmaid for a pint of Tetleys bitter. "avint gorrit" was her reply. A closer inspection of the pumps revealed that virtually all of them had a half-pint glass on the handle. I asked her what draught beers were available and was told John Smiths and Fosters. I had John Smiths. I then noticed that some of the drinks fridges were empty and others poorly stocked. It wasn't as if Tranmere Rovers had been at home earlier in the day and the place had been inundated with punters. It looks like a failing pub, one that perhaps cannot pay suppliers.
Most pub bands start playing at 9:30 but this one didn't start until 10:30 apparently after being told to do so by the bar staff. Those of us on public transport had to leave at 11:30. Not Impressed.
I don't envisage ever returning to this very poor pub.

In before Col U game - went and had a look at what they were serving at the bar - no real ale - left and went into ground and had a cup of tea. Will not return (to the pub).

Only been in there once ...and that was enough!

Although this pub is officially listed as being in Prenton, I can actually tell you that it is in a parallel universe where thirsty customers take on the ability to become invisible. As soon as you set foot over the door the staff find it impossible to see you. Despite standing at the bar trying to make yourself seen you have no chance as they "busy" themselves with trivial tasks like filling ice buckets or gossiping. Apparently there are rumours that some people have been served at sometime in the dim & distant past but I think that this is just an urban myth. Twice I have entered this Twighlight Zone & twice after 10 minutes I have decided that I cannot change the laws of physics & decided to step over the threshold back into the real world where customers are not ignored.

50 yards from Tranmere Rovers main stand. Crowded on match days. Standard selection of beers. Reasonable pub grub.
Well known for featuring local bands at the weekend.
Good car park.

Sent my beer back twice before they refused to serve me.

nice pub would be better if they kicked out the loud scousers who scream and shout at top of voices in foul language. Food was good and beer reasonable just local yobs spioled my experience

Real great pub on Tranmere matchdays, home and away fans mix in, no trouble, decent pint (plastic glasses on matchdays), reasonably priced.
