please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
After a visit to the Three Piggies on nearby Allerton Road (I will request that to be added), I made a return visit to the Dovedale Towers after a 20+ year hiatus. The interior and exterior of this place is to be admired and the real ale selection is better than I had expected. Jenning's Cumberland Ale is generally on, with 3 guests, which were Wells Bombardier Glorious English, Salopian Oracle & Hogsback TEA. Sadly it looks like the real cider mentioned in the last review has been discontinued.

Have been here several times now and the interior has been refurbished and given a lick of paint. Regular ales are Ringwood Boondoggle, Tim Taylors Landlord and Deuchars plus a couple of guest ales and Mersey Cider.
There are several flat screen TV's showing news or sport and their menu has a bigger choice than the Pie Minister pies that they just sell at Bier in the city centre.
They have regular live bands too.
But like Bier it is a bit pricey - I paid �3.35 for a pint of Boondoggle on Tuesday, and on another visit paid over �4.00 for a pint of Mersety Cider.

Now been taken over by the people who own the new city centre pub called "Bier" (the Old Ropewalk pub off Bold Street).
Haven't been to the new "Dovey" but it a got a good review in the Liverpool Echo last month and apparently sells the same range of beers as "Bier".
Planning to check it out at the weekend so will update then with my findings!

Went here a couple of years ago and it was a bit grotty. It's now been refurbished. I think it's owned by the people who run Alma de Cuba where all the WAGS go. There was a drive by shooting outside it a while back. Go to the Penny Lane Wine Bar up the road!

used to be fab but is now a trendy bar as oposed to a cheap scruffy pub. Barprices have gone up and you have to make an effort to get past the bouncers. boo!

Not a bad place. Not perfect, but does its job well

Though it needs a lick of paint here and there, I never fail to leave the place somewhat tipsy.
