please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Judging by previous reviews, this is a pretty popular place, aside from a recurring arithmetical problem..! However, not for me, I'm afraid. Beer was average. We parked ourselves out front under the canopy, but the area was untidy, littered and grubby. The fact that they can't be bothered to keep it swept and clean may tell a story about other aspects of the pub. Bar downstairs was dark and uninviting. Maybe it changes character in the evening, but not a great stop for an afternoon visit. Someone mentioned that it was originally an old print works or something... they might think of reconverting..! Off to the majestic Philharmonic...

Went there last week and the guy who got served before me was short changed - by the same barman that short changed me!

Good place to go and the interior is very unique. Toilets are horrible! Nice little courtyard at the front with tables and benches. Quiet in the afternoon. Busy in the evening. Beer is cheap and always special offers. However, I was short changed twice by the same barman the last time I was there so check your change!

Great atmosphere in this one and some good LIVE music. Last visit the real ale was suffering, there was only one on and that was poor.
|
Always visit the Pilgrim during Beatleweek, and have a good time. Beer excellent, the all day breakfast has to be eaten to be believed, bar staff very friendly, and efficient, try it, you wont be disappointed.

Wonderful place. Great atmosphere, juke boxes and customers use deoderant.
|
A great friendly pub where the table tops all have a mosaic on spelling out the names of various types of beer! A bit studenty perhaps but great none the less
|
The Pilgrim is a good pub with a decent jukebox and the beer is good most of the time.If you are going on a pub crawl I would recommend both the the Swan in Wood street and The Pilgrim plus, the dispensary for great ale and or the crack.(The best pubs seem to be in this area of town.)

One of the few pubs in Liverpool to make allowances for small well behaved dogs on leads.
Beer was fine and food was cheap and cheerful. Great place to sit outside under large lean to roof.
Well done The Pilgrim because apart from you we discovered that Liverpool in general is one of the most anti dog City Centres We've ever been to.

One of my favourites in the whole of Liverpool, primarily for the great value all-day King Sized breakfast which is washed down by one the real ales on tap. I have never, ever, had a bad pint in the Pilgrim and the staff are friendly and efficient. Do not miss this place if you visit Liverpool but be warned that it can get busy - very popular with students.

The pilgrim is what pubs should be. It is the best pub in liverpool, its food is cheap and excellent, its beer perfect, £1.50 for murphys i tell you!!
|

|
best staff in the world they all deserve a wacking great big pay rise! all the female staff are gorgeous, shame about the males, they are very pleasant tho!
Cheap ale, great jukebox and even better live music on sundays.
we recomend triple gin and lemo for £2:50 it wont take long to get you steaming!

Sunday lunch - 3 courses for £5 - is quality, as is the beer! You can get pints for about £1.50, doubles for £2 and the sunday open mike is the best in liverpool.
with the theatre and stand up that goes on upstairs - newly renovated and not too bad - there's always something on.
Joe, the owner is a nice guy, as are his staff and the built-in charm of the whole place is something that has to be nurtured over time, not bought.

my local and possibly the best pub in the world.
apart maybe from that french ex-pat's place in Vilnius Lithuania...
|
A quality pub located in the shadow of the Anglican Cathedral, this basement boozer is quality. 1950s style booths adorn the walls (as mentioned below) however any poor soul over 14 stone will suffer trying to get in or out! The ale is cheap (I would suggest a pint of Bomber) and if you go on a Sunday evening they have live music!
|
reminds me of some smelly bat cave, it's a terrible strain on the eyes. the food is really cheap but as a result so is the qualitity

Would be a good pub if it wasn't for the students. Catch it out of term time when it's quieter and more civilised. Not a patch on the Cracke though.

Predominantly student pub. It's downstairs but doesn't stink of damp like some other cellar bars.
Set out into diner style booths with a jukebox in each one. Usually a pleasant atmosphere. The beer's not the best in the world but it's quite drinkable, cheap trebles make up for it (used to be £2, don't know if they still are).
Cheap food throughout the day (not sure about evenings). Thier breakfasts used to be fantastic but have diminished in quality over the years. The Sunday roast is a bargain (£3.50 last time I was in) and filling.
There is an upsatirs bar but it lacks the atmosphere of downstairs.
Owned by the same people as the Cracke so have no qualms about transferring your drinks the 15 yards from one pub to the other, if one is particularly busy at last orders.
