| 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 |
| I am a frequent visitor to the AJ and think its a great pub. The people you get in there are a wide mix of undergraduates, post graduates, and a few locals all of whom are great characters. The staff are friendly and actually chat to you rather than just giving you what you have asked for. The drinks are great value and the constantly rotating guest beers realy keep you on your toes. Some great drinks deals to be had and they have now also got a big screen and a flat screen to show sports on. What more could you ask for? lasvegaslad - 21 Oct 2005 13:43 |
| Disappointed, went in today and found it empty, sadly the two pint glasses we were given had greasy fingerprints in them on the inside, the tables were dirty too. Not impressed, sorry Scousefire - 19 Jul 2005 22:52 |
