| It's a gorgeous pub, at it's best when the sun sets beautifully over the Wirral as it did last night. Bass was excellent, the pub has several drinking areas, staff are friendly, prices are good, wish I lived in New Brighton. mtaylor40 - 27 Jul 2011 22:12 |
| This pub is a real find, although I suppose only the locals know where Wallasey ends and where New Brighton begins as the Magazine is in the first and The Pilot Boat a stone's throw away is in the latter.When we arrived ,five minutes before opening time, on a Saturday morning, the tide was out.We were the first in and the landlord recommended the Bass.I was a little dubious as Bass has had a bad press since changing hands.Anyway I succumbed to the gentleman's protestations on its behalf and I ended up finishing off three pints.When we left an hour later the tide was in. the beer must have been good. shouldersarms - 13 May 2011 17:45 |
| The Magazine is now re-opened and apparently little changed from what it was previously. This was my first visit and I was reasonably impressed. It appears quite an old place with multiple rooms offering a retreat from the main bar area if you so desire. A large fireplace with many horse brasses dominates the main bar area, with Toby jugs hanging from the ceiling. At the rear of the pub, there is a bowling green and the one room has bowling trophies and the like. From the front windows, there is a pleasant view across the Mersey. Beers on were Spitting Feathers Farmhouse Ale & Basket Case, Copper Dragon Scotts 1816, Timothy Taylor Landlord and Bass. blue_scrumpy - 20 Mar 2011 12:36 |
| Just read in local paper that this pub is closed following a fire last month. wirraldrinker - 20 May 2010 22:37 |
| Unspoilt suburban gem overlooking the river, 10 minutes from the fort and front at New Brighton. The pub has an unusual layout that is in the main part intact, although doors have been removed. The long bar room has 3 medium-sized rooms leading off from it, a back room with a small TV, a side room and a room at the front left hand side of the pub as you enter. None of these is small enough to be called a snug, however the front room has a cosy atmosphere and is the most intact, and also affords a fine view over the river to Bootle docks. The main bar room has most features, with a splendid fireplace and real fire surrounded by numerous brasses and mirrors. Dim lighting and red shading throughout add to the atmosphere. No piped music but unfortunately the odd quiz machine. As noted the pub has bowling green to the rear. The pub was a Bass pub and this is still evident with the sign, etched door and internal mirrors. Beer selection is Bass itself, Landlord, Thwaites Original plus two guests from the local Spitting Feathers brewery, Thirst Quencher and Special Ale. This is a fine old pub that is worth a visit in it's own right, and you should make a beeline here if in the Wallasey area for any reason. For the lover of traditional pubs I would also consider it to be worth the trip across from Liverpool as it is a pleasant 15 minute riverside walk from New Brighton station.
