| I may be wrong, but it seems to me that the people who have negative things to say about Dave appear to be either first time or very irregular visitors. Those of us who use the pub on a regular basis know just how hard Dave works and how much pressure that puts him under. Even the most saintly amongst us would have our moments. I never have a problem with him and most of the time if he's run off his feet he'll say "hang on a minute, I'll come back to you" or its like. This is by far my favourite pub in Liverpool - beer, staff, craic - its got the lot. pintofplum - 23 Dec 2011 10:14 |
| 2011 POTY? I can only assume The Dispensary were awarded triple bonus points for having the most aggressive barman in Liverpool. A party of 8 of us went in there on a very quiet Saturday lunchtime, ordered our drinks (George Wrights Mild for me) and then went to sit in the raised area where 1 other chap was already sitting. One of our party then had the temerity to put his coat on a spare table "TABLES ARE FOR DRINKS AND SEATS ARE FOR BUMS AND COATS" blasted the aggressive one, pointedly slapping the table then the seat with the palms of his hands just to confirm to us what a table and seat looked like. When politely questioned as to why he was so angry he growled more pearls of wisdom about being able to do as he likes. And with that we were off, drinks untouched. I guess he could be a novelty act in these parts?..I'm not sure. Crooked_Canary - 20 Dec 2011 08:46 |
| We paid a couple of visits to the Dis during a short visit to wintery Liverpool last week. We were very amused by a note beside the fireplace asking people not to hog it. Dave also, in no uncertain terms, invited one gentleman lozicking (sic) in front of the fire to take his feet off the stool; quite right too! On a cold blustery Wednesday the list of guest ales was as follows: Fernandes Stairway to Heaven, Hawkshead Windermere Pale, Salamander Golden Salamander, Titanic Plum Porter, George Wright Mark's Mild, Ossett Silver King, and last but not least Outstanding Standing Out, which I must say really did stand out and proved to be an outstanding beer. The rest was history so to speak. shouldersarms - 15 Dec 2011 06:57 |
| Hadn't been in here for nearly 2 years until yesterday. We were the first to arrive on a Sunday lunchtime. I see nothing to change my recent positive review and rating. Service was find and the range of cask ales was good - Allgates Caskablanca, Cotswold Spring Stunner, Salamander Golden Salamander, Titanic Cappuccino, Cains Bitter & George Wright Mark's Mild. The Cappuccino was wonderful. Addlestones is still the only real cider and served flat, unlike the newly-opened and nearby Bier, which adds gas. Still a place to visit on any decent pub crawl of Liverpool. blue_scrumpy - 5 Dec 2011 19:49 |
| A bit crowded last night especially after our party of 14 arrived! Good selection of ales available. Everyone commented that they were well kept. wirraldrinker - 26 Nov 2011 16:45 |
