Very cheap, the only place I've seen Stella (or at least is purported to be Stella) at 2.20. The atmosphere is decent, mostly older folk having a good time. No real ale but if you want a cheap night or day drinking keg beer then why not spend it here, nowt wrong with it.

Excellent alehouse themed on a South American prison. Guest ale was strongbow.
Just for men stronghold, isolated tracksuits and average quality CD/DVD's. Cleaner on long term sickie.

Lively pub between Lime Street and Central stations. Have passed it many times. But yesterday, I finally ventured in. It's a large room with bare boards and a few TVs. All tables were occupied on our Saturday lunchtime visit. There was a handpull, but no ale was on. All beers and ciders are keg - Stella, Magners Golden Draught, Carling, John Smiths Extra Smooth, Boddingtons Extra Cold, Tetleys Dark Mild, Carlsberg, Guinness, Strongbow & Becks Vier. An Aussie White with hot water, suger and lemon is £1.80! Should have tried one really.

Cheap as chips and does what it says on the tin.
Basically just a room where you can sit and have a pint. Sky on the telly and alsorts of characters knocking about. Got a sort of social club feel to it.
|
not our cup of tea, yes its cheap but the cheapness attracts the wrong people, its ok for a quick one or if your with the lads but not for couples,
|
hahahaah i hope this place hasn't changed over the last 15 years or so- classic liverpool- what makes the city great not all that crap down at the dock!

One of those kind of institutions that can cheer one up - however down and bad you feel when you come in here you think ' Life could be FAR worse - I could be a regular in this place'. It's worth a visit to experience what an old style 'Yates's' was all about. To gain an insight to that one needs to sample an Ozzie red or white - both guaranteed to remove all brands of varnish.

Large single room city centre bar. Full of red-faced pensioners. 1 cask - Bombardier at �1.49. Think I would rather become teetotal than drink here on a regular basis
|
This is a great pub - people from real life in here, prices are cheaper than anywhere in Liverpool I know of. ok so its very spit and sawdust (without the sawdust) and I have to admit to being frightened of catching dysentry or something similar in the loos - but i think you can see real Liverpool in here, with down to earth people.
have to say a certain large chain across the road on the corner (Wspoons) is dearer and their loos are manky as well.

The Champagne is very very expensive.
|
Avoid this pub, always busy with booze hounds. Smelly and dirty interior matches the drinkers
|
A dreadful place frequented by tramps and miscreants selling batteries, razors and cd's.
Avoid at all costs.
|
What a dump!
|
Ah, the first pub i was ever kicked out (at 15), good to see it hasn't changed.
|
The site of the first ever Yates's Wine Lodge, this is now an extremely cheap boozer and the clientele reflect this. We were hassled at our table by a Big Issue seller, and is it standard practice for a barmaid to remove the excess head from a pint by putting her hand in it and scooping it out the glass before slopping said pint in your general direction? It is here!!
