| I popped in the Fly at opening time while the wife was at the organ concert in the cathedral. Obviously the place was empty. The landlord greeted me in a very convivial fashion and I ordered a pint of real ale. I was surprised to see him going about some extraordinary task and even more surprised when I saw water coming out of the pump. He assured me that this cleaning process would only take a minute or two. The result was that five minutes later I was quaffing a perfect pint. As an occasional visitor to the UK I was mightily impressed and can now understand why many Liverpool pubs have such a good reputation when it comes to its real ale quality. shouldersarms - 19 Apr 2012 12:36 |
| The usual wide selection of beers available last night. My mate had a very dark German beer (name escapes me) and I had a beautiful pint of Salopian 'Lemon Dream' - cost £6:85. Pity it is such an expensive pub. wirraldrinker - 19 Apr 2012 11:00 |
| On a return visit to Liverpool from Brighton this weekend, was disappointed they wouldn't give me a snifter of two unfamiliar ales to sample, and ther bar person didn't have a clue what they were like, so I had to stay with a familiar brew. Lovely room somewhat spoiled by unavoidable TV screens throughout playing football. It's dropped a couple of points since my last visit as a result. melita666 - 16 Jan 2012 22:00 |
| The manager takes some beating and the staff are always keen and attentive but there is always something Weatherspoonish about this pub. I don't know if its the layout, the fact that it gets very noisy or the fact that you need to take a packed lunch with you when you set off to the toilets. All in all, there are plusses as well as minuses. Worth a visit though. pintofplum - 13 Jan 2012 13:36 |
| I was surprised to see that it's been nearly 3 years since I last reviewed this pub. So Sunday may have been my first visit for that samel length of time. I've still to be won over by this pub. Yes, there is a good range of real ales. But these are surpassed in other Liverpool pubs. The lack of a real cider is always a letdown for me. But then these days, I'm just as at home drinking ales. But the atmosphere is for me somewhat lacking and the trek to the toilets is still a little annoying. Beers on yesterday were Liverpool Organic 24 Carat Gold, Dorset Piddle Thunder Box Porter, Maypole Little Weed, Cains Biiter, Lancaster Black, Lancaster Red & Fullers London Pride. Still a 7/10 for me. But I still find it overrated for what it is. blue_scrumpy - 5 Dec 2011 19:59 |
