| Fancied a steak and it being a Wednesday,I thought I'd try the Blackburne as it offers a discount. We had two rib eye steaks which were reasonably well cooked and presented along with Cheshire Gold Bitter.The place is ok, a little sixties-ish and the furniture , I agree is a wee excentric. The only serious criticism, and this is true of a lot of places in Liverpool is that the bar isn't one that you could lean up against for an hour or so gassing to the barman/maid. It's basically an order and pay and find a niche to natter or smooch in, and not being much of a natterer or smoocher for that matter, I ate, supped up and bade the barman/maid a polite good evening. I honestly wouldn't go out of my way to go there again, but that's not to disparage it, it's just that there really are quite a number of pubs nearby which are more my sort of boozer. shouldersarms - 26 Jun 2011 20:39 |
| I normally go to Ye Cracke, Fly In The Loaf etc in this part of town and hadn't been here in over a year. I visited last week and had an expensive pint of Tim Taylor Landlord. The pub was busy and most people seemed to be eating food from the menu. The three men serving behind the bar/standing around didn't seem to be too bothered about making me feel welcome. So I don't think I'll bother with this place again! mattbeer - 30 Mar 2011 23:32 |

| First visit here last week and was impressed. Had a pint of Landlord. Pub was empty when I visited . I don't go to this part of town often so, as others have said, I combined it with a trip to Peter Kavanaghs and Ye Cracke. Might check out this pub again next time the football is on to watch it on TV. The pubs in the city centre get too crowded when the footy is on - I get the feeling it will be more relaxed in the the Blackburne Arms (we shall see). mattbeer - 23 Nov 2009 23:15 |
| A mainly contemporary styled single room with touches of "oldness" in the bar counter, bar-back and fireplace, there is also some very silly furniture perhaps made for a failed production of “Jack and the Beanstalk” or the stage version of “Land of the Giants”. Six pumps but only three in use serving Landlord, Deuchars and Black Sheep in reasonable condition but not at the top of their game. Youngish punters enjoying meals and watching the three TVs when I visited. The TVs have about 7000 satellite channels, most of them unwatchable although I did notice the enticingly named “Essex Babes” as the bar staff feverishly searched for a soccer match, finally settling for one with Croatian commentary. Nice. anonymous - 22 Apr 2009 14:58 |
