| I still pop in here for a swift pint if I have half an hour to wait before I have to catch a train from Lime Street. £2.90 for a pint of Strongbow - you're 'avin a laugh! Three pubs all next to each other that could so, so, soooo much better (Lord Warden, Head Of Steam and Ma Egertons) - all next to Lime Street, the Empire Theatre, St George's Hall etc. The 3 of these pubs could be AMAZING - but are all bog standard "don't give a ****" lager-houses! I only really like coming into Ma Egertons to look at the paintings and old theatre posters on the walls!! mattbeer - 2 Jun 2010 03:49 |
| Agree with the previous comments. The interior is that of a classic Liverpool pub. But with so many similar pubs to choose from in Liverpool, it's easy to look for the negatives, in order to whittle down your choice and this one has plenty of negatives. Yes the interior is dark. This is partly as a result of the dark wood and the blocking of light by the surrounding buildings. However the pub does nothing to help itself by placing small curtains over the windows, blocking what little light there is available. The feeling is positively dingy. There is one handpull at the bar. But alas the pump clip was turned round. The landlady could also do with a character bypass. 'I'll take your rubbish then shall I?' was the one curt remark given to the occupant of an adjacent table, in response to the sandwich wrapper that had been left on the table. An interesting remark from the owner of a pub that was not selling food. I think I would have upped and left if I were them. With far better choices in Liverpool, we'll leave this one to the thick-skinned. blue_scrumpy - 26 Apr 2010 20:35 |
| Unspoilt backstreet pub with great potential but doesn't serve real ale. If some enterprising soul would give it the attention it deserves it would be a gem. chick - 8 Mar 2010 16:04 |
| Splendid looking whitewashed building dwarfed by the big brick bulks of the neighbouring cinema and theatre and by Lime Street Station across the road. The interior is as good a display of dark wood and leather as any student of fin de siecle pubs could hope to see. The walls are covered in photographs of theatrical and movie stars, where else would you ever expect to see Marlon Brando dressed as Napolean and Emperor Heile Selassie in full military rig together in the same photo? People are correct when they say this would be one of Liverpool’s classic pubs if only the beer was better. anonymous - 29 May 2009 13:07 |
| Traditional back street boozer a stone's throw from Lime Street station and the Empire Theatre. It is included in the Liverpool Historic Pub Guide due to its unspoilt nature. The small, simply furnished bar room is on the left as you enter and is often quite busy. To the right is a larger opened out room with some original fixtures and bench seating all around its periphary as well as stools. In here are the multitude of pictures relating to the pubs characterful history as the neighbour of the theatre next door. Sky sports is shown in here on an unobtrusive TV. This is a pub that will appeal to the traditional boozer lover, however as noted it suffers due to its lack of real ale-if that were rectified it could become one of Liverpool's many classics. As it stands it is definitely worth popping into if waiting for a train if you have done the Crown, Dr. Duncans etc. to death- but real ale fans will undoubtedly flock to those pubs.
