| Returned to the Augustus John yesterday. 5 real ales were on - Beartown Polar Eclipse, Copper Dragon Challenger IPA, Tetleys, Millstone Square Peg and Liverpool Organic Best Bitter. The real cider was Gwynt y Ddraig Dogdance from a handpull. The interior is still nothing to shout about. It is more reminiscent of a plain council estate pub, and there are far too many TVs. However service is friendly and from my point of view, it's still a worthy stop in Liverpool as it's one of the few places that serves a changing real cider from relatively small producers. blue_scrumpy - 31 Oct 2010 12:47 |
| Called in here after a short visit to the adjacent modern RC Cathedral (pretty impressive it is too). There was a demo going on outside the cathedral by Iranian anti government supporter which added to the fun. It’s a fairly nondescript looking pub built into what is effectively a concrete block. It’s actually within the university grounds, but all are welcome. There are plenty of seats outside (plastic glasses only outside). Inside there is a pool table facing you as you enter and seating to the left, there’s also a quiz machine. There are TV screens all over the place, so you won’t miss them no matter where you stand or sit. Four handpumps on the bar Tetley’s bitter, Abbot Ale plus 2 changing guests, Cains Sundowner and Hidden Fantasy when we called. I had a pint of the Cains which was pretty good. Friendly welcome from the landlord when we arrived. It was pretty quiet as it was about 1 p.m. on a Saturday lunchtime, but it’s OK in here. ROBCamra - 22 Jun 2009 12:12 |
| Despite having spent 3 years at the University, I'd never previously visited this pub until yesterday. The bar is open-plan and a good place for watching live sports, with at least 5-6 different TVs. The clientele were a mix of students and locals. There were 2 guest beers on - one called Voodoo and another from the Spitting Feathers brewery. There is also a changing real cider in the fridge. Yesterday it was Thatcher's Dry. Nice enough beer selection, but I must admit to preferring a more traditional pub. blue_scrumpy - 11 Jan 2009 17:10 |
| The AJ is a great pub, with a great mix of Students, Staff from the University of Liverpool campus and locals from the surrounding area. In the past year the management have breathed a new lease of life into the pub, which was in danger of going a bit stale. The real ale suppliers have been changed a little, with a greater range of different breweries available on their 3 guest pumps. They do still however retain Tetleys and Abbot ale on cask which, despite them bein very well kept by the managment, has gotta be changed in the near future surely. there range of bottled beers and alcopops has been changed gradually over the past six months or so two. The pub benefits from having two Tv's and a Big Screen which are used to show major sporting events, and if rumors are to be believed there are another 3 flat screen tv's on their way in the next month or so. The staff are all great, In particular Dave the assistant manager. He is a great young lad who is enthusiastic about keeping the pub a good friendly pub and i have seen him refuse service to many rebrobates who have tried in vain to posion this gem of a pub. If you are in the area you should definatley pop in to the AJ.! You may see me in there, reading a paper and supping on a nice pint of real ale. BeerMonster1962 - 7 Oct 2008 15:56 |
| Well, I live in Scotland but in the 1950's and 1960's I used to drink in the Augustus John. By the map location I wonder if it has moved since those days as I seem to recall it being adjacent Parry's, the University Bookshop. Anyway, I used to have a pub lunch there quite often as it contained paintings by the artist and it all felt very 'avant guarde' to me then. Folk from the University would frequent the place together with artists and I was a budding, albeit amateur artist in those days. I wonder how much it has changed? Graham. gvahey - 6 Nov 2007 11:35 |
