It's no that bad - try Sunday morning if you want service ! A bit untidy yes, but good beer quality and range.

The worse service I have ever experianced.

I would echo most of the previous comments; it could be a decent pub, but the time to get served is terrible and attitude of staff often poor (though they are grossly overworked). Avoid.

This is the wetherspoons across from lime street station in liverpool city center im posting about. This has to be the worst excuse for a pub ive ever entered in my life. Im glad everybody else that has posted has basically the same things to say so i know its not me being a moaner.Was there last weekend with my partner and child, we were over from Ireland to see the Liverpool game and popped in to have some food and a quick beer before heading to Anfield.The tables were absolutely filthy. Dirty dishes everywhere. We were hunted from one side to the other because we had a seven year old child with us.When i tried to order it took at least 15 minutes at the bar to be told we need your table number. So back i went to my filthy dirty dishes laden table to find the table had no number so i went back to the bar tender and stated this and he said has the bloody table next to you got a number and threw his eyes upwards and grunted. This guy was the pits. Ignorant , slow , belittling.He had it all. And im going to explain him in detail so if anybody in management reads this they will know who i mean. He was about thirty sounded like an Irish accent and moved like an eighty year old.Im Irish so im not being racist. I had a good fifteen minutes while i waited for to get his attention so it was not just his attitude toward me i observed. This guy just did not want to be there. To make a long story short after he asked " was there a bloody number on the table long side" i just had enough of the whole place and returned to my partner and child and left. Fair to say its was the worst establishment on a whole I ever went into and i wont ever darken the door of a wetherspoons again. I cant comment on the food and drink as I didnt manage to get any but if it was like the rest of the place im glad i did not have to suffer it.

Its one to avoid this place, SOMETIMES takes a while to get served, especially of a Saturday daytime when full of shoppers.
However, avoid if any big footy matches are on in the city - the visiting fans always congregate in here as its opposite Lime Street!

The food is fairly decent however, the beer is not the best. Often there is very little beer selection and it can be difficult to order a drink given that there always seems to be a shortage of staff ! Not cheap for a wetherspoons either and it's certainly not a patch on the one in Bootle for example.
I won't be returning !

Typical wetherspoons, not enough staff, when you ask for one of the few hand pulls that was shown as on, Pedigree, haven't got any. Pint of something else was ok but nowt special and not cheap for a "spoons"

First pub we went to on our weekend on the beers in Liverpool.Virtually every ale was off, so opted 4 cider.
Typical large spoons with slow but friendly service.(Slow due to England playing that day)7/10

Disgusting, stunk of sick, told by the bar staff that it was the beer pumps! (stayed on soft drinks)
Slow response from door staff when an annoying minesweeper was on the prowl.

Bar Staff not at all switched on.

Recommendation for anyone visiting Liverpool-don't bother with this one.

Smelt of sick with the noise of screaming kids and saw 2 real live scallys in "shell suits" stealing sunglasses to order. Staff probably talking to the punters so it took me over 10 minutes to get served. Who says Liverpool is stereotyped? Eh eh

Pretty decent. Went in there before a game against Everton. Had a very nice breakfast as well as the drinks being very cheap

Fairly predictable Wethers-usually with a fair sized crowd in it.

staff are so friendly they will stop working to chat to you and thats just the management.
