| I agree with some of the comments here about regulars being served more quickly. I think it's a trait of the pub. It's been going on for twenty years. Despite this, I find it a friendly and atmospheric pub that is genuinely enthusiastic about its beers. It's true, the clientele have changed, especially during the weekend. Gone are the days where there would be a chess or backgammon game going on in any given corner, along with dungeons & dragons and intense intellectual discussions about the current political situation. Now people just discuss the ABV. On a more trivial point, it gets unbearable in the lounge area in the summer. During the recent unseasonably warm weather, it was like a sauna and I ended up in Rigsby's beer garden, but that's another story. Water_Into_Wine - 10 Oct 2011 20:10 |
| I'm still a regular visitor to the Ship & Mitre and I still rate it as Liverpool's best pub. However I no longer feel it is worthy of a 10/10 rating that I had previously granted it. It is now an extremely popular choice, especially at weekends. The toilets, as previously mentioned, are not very inspiring and even when quieter, the staff are inclined to serve regulars before visitors. Although I did get given a drink on the house on a previous visit when complaining that I had had to wait 10 minutes to be served. Having said all of this, I will still award the Ship & Mitre a 9/10 due to its undeniable selection of ales and ciders. The selection yesterday afternoon was Weetwood Mad Hatter, Hornbeam Voyager, Liverpool Organic Josephine Butler Elderflower Ale, Cottage Trident, Summer Wine Resistance Dark Mild & Marama, Crouch Vale Yakima Gold, Nethergate Lemon Head, Salamander Graviton Stout, Gertie Sweey Deep Porter, Northern Blakemere Navajo Extra & Castle Rock Screech Owl. Broadoak Moonshine, Addlestones & Westons Old Rosie were the 3 real ciders. blue_scrumpy - 18 Sep 2011 14:16 |

| Had 45 minutes to kill before catching a train from Lime St so went in here to see what they had on offer at another one of their beer festivals. Wasn't too impressed by the ales on offer so went for a pint of scrumpy from the stillage which name escapes me but they had the same one at their last beer festival. They really do need to source their ales and ciders a bit better! The pub was very busy but I managed to get a seat by 2 couples who at first appeared pleasant, but then I saw that they were drinking some of the overpriced foreign lagers (see my previous post) and they were actually embarrasingly drunk and proceeded to take the mick out of the fact I was sat on my own next to them. Then I realised - Saturday early evening probably isn't the best time to come here unless your one of those people who think the Ship & Mitre is now a trendy place to come before going to the scally bars in and around Concert Square and Wood Street! mattbeer - 24 Apr 2011 11:31 |
| I still like coming here but now always go for a pint of cider. I like real ale but the choice they have here is consistantly non-descript and very samey and mainly comes from northern breweries. I did have a nice pint of Butcombe Old Vic stout the other week though, but I think they need to branch out a bit more in terms of sourcing beers from all over the UK. The S&M is capitalising too much on overpriced foreign bottled lagers and attracting a strange mix of clientele which, when the pub is busy on a friday night or at the weekend, makes it slightly unpleasant to visit - which is why my rating of this pub has gone down! mattbeer - 31 Mar 2011 23:52 |
