user reviews of Ma Egertons, Liverpool
please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
| Small back street pub behind the Empire Theatre opposite the stage door. Friendly atmosphere & interesting decor with stacks of old theatre photographs & posters adorning the walls. This is the type of pub that would be worth a visit on a cold dark Winters night as it is very cosy & compact. Like the previous poster said, the choice of beer is somewhat disappointing & I don't think they serve food. Worth a visit but I don't anticipate making it a regular watering hole. happytyskie - 20 Jul 2008 10:41 |
| Well, having been the one who introduced this pub to the site, I suppose I ought to write up my review pretty pronto. Ma Egertons is a typically traditional unspoilt smallish Liverpool pub, located in a side street behind the Empire Theatre and close to the side exit from Lime Street Station. Ma Egerton was well known in theatrical circles and was apparently a close friend of Charlie Chaplin. The main room ( on the left of the pub as you go in ) is adorned with photographs of those who have performed at the theatre and have, presumably popped in for the proverbial swift half between performances ( or scenes ?). Of particular note are paintings of some of Liverpool's leading kights - Ken Dodd, Cilla Black and George Formby. There is also a painting of Ma Egerton herself above the fireplace - she looks a bit like a typically fearsome old style Northern pub matriarch. Ma Egertons seems to be one of those Liverpool pubs that has not moved into the 21st Century - and is all the better for it. Read more about the pub in the Liverpool Historic Pub Guide, which is well worth getting hold of. The one downside is that there's no real ale - so you'll have to make do with John Smith's Smooth or something similar if you want to visit. JohnBonser - 7 Jul 2008 12:25 |
