They seem to be pretty touchy about bad reviews judging by the gaps in comments for such a 'tourist haunt'. Let's keep it simple and to the facts then - the ale is dire, the food atrocious and service indifferent. The place has such potenital but just seems to feed off passing trade.

I'd been in here before and walked out due to the poor beer & cider selection. This time, I was determined to have a drink come what may. Courage Directors & Caledonian Flying Scotsman were the 2 ales on offer. The interior has plenty of Beatles memorabilia and pictures on the walls, as you would expect. Not much sign of tourists inside and not too busy on our Saturday lunchtime visit.

Horrendous place, often too busy, music too loud and barstaff docile. I know I sound like an old fart, but this place should be a tourist trap for the amount of people who visit the area, instead its full of old pissheads and scallies!

Further to my last comment, I went in here a couple of weeks ago and guess what - it hasn't changed!

I went on a Sunday afternoon and it was packed (local radio DJ ane entertainer Pete Price was performing).

It's still dark and dingy and smells of cat piss and stale beer. Took ages to get served, but only because the 3 people behind the bar were a bit dopey. I asked for a pint of Strongbow and the barmaid didn't know what it was! Then the barrel needed changing which took 10 minutes.

Didn't notice any Cains or other beer on sale - not that I was looking out for it because it was never well keot when they did sell it.

I'll return to the Grapes in 12 months and will expect nothing to have changed about this place!

I agree with other comments - considering the amount of punters this place brings in surely the owners can afford to give it a lick of paint, new carpets and get in a better selection of drinks.

I haven't been there for a while so don't know if they are selling Cains again. I'd like to go back to this pub again but fear that it hasn't changed since my last visit.

The Beatles connection is sadly wearing thin. The owners of the Grapes should pay a visit to the re-opened Vernon Arms on Dale Street and see what they've done to the interior and the selection of ales from local micro breweries that they sell.
