Greave Dunning, Greasby

Forgot to mention - the bar sports a poster saying that if you don't like your beer, they'll happily change it. Something that doesn't happen enough in other pubs.

That gets it an extra point.

Greave Dunning, Greasby

Visited yesterday afternoon, for the first time since its conversion from pleasant pub to multi-level tasteless void.

First impressions apart (this is primarily a matter of personal taste anyway), though, it was a very enjoyable experience, the beer is well kept and cheap (�1.89 a pint), and the staff friendly. Seating, though, seems to have come from an Ikea clearance sale - it's terrible, as are the absurdly high tables.

It does, though, have a disabled toilet, essential for me as the main toilets are upstairs. However, the RADAR lock was broken (impossible to lock from the inside), and the toilet's entry room (for the benefit of wheelchair users), was quite clearly being used to facilitate drug deals. The lock needs to be on the on the outer door, not the inner as now. And it needs repairing.

And although I didn't eat, the food being brought to other customers looked and smelled good, and is reasonably priced.

There's an outdoor shelter for smokers, though used only by one person yesterday. Even so, the door, on a cold day, created a hell of a draught.

That, and the fact that only a small part of the pub is accessible to wheelchair users stopped it getting a 9.
