| Somewhat surprised to be the first to post on this pub for a good while - 3+ years in fact ! Its a small traditional pub in a narrow side street off Dale Street in the business district of Liverpool. As previous reviewers have correctly pointed out, this pub was nearly lost to the developers in 2002, but was saved by a multi -pronged petition. Based on my visit - 3 April - this friendly community local is thriving. There's an upstairs bar, but the ground floor bar is preferable and more homely. The visit was notable for a rare sighting of Fullers London Pride, but I stuck with the Cains, which was on good form. Disappointingly to report, the curse of the Oriental DVD sellers have now reached Liverpool - pleasingly, the young barman here dealt with them in a robust fashion. In summary, this is not one of Liverpool's must visit pubs, but well worthy of inclusion in any crawl of the business district pubs of Liverpool. Read more about the history of this pub - and others - in the Liverpool Historic Pub Guide - a splendid well-illustrated guide and very good value for money at only £ 3.

| My mates and I have been going into the Posthouse most Wednesday nights for the last 20 years.Splendid place for a cheap pint of Cains (usually in very good nick).A guest beer has recently been introduced and the shorts are a very reasonable price.Mike and Brenda (the licencees)are great,as are Lyn and Jackie (the barmaids).

| Great little pub. There aren't that many proper pubs left in Liverpool city centre. I don't know if they still do the treble Jamesons for £1.50. Once had about 5 of these before I realised you could doubles for a £1. palmwinedrinkard - 21 Apr 2004 17:36 |
| The Poste House is one of the oldest pubs around. Rasputin, the Beatles and Hitler are rumoured to have sunk a few pints there. Three years ago it was nearly bulldozed to make way for a commercial complex. A huge campaign was launched and there were street demonstrations and petitions. Regulars would have fought to the death to save it. Against all odds the pub WAS saved. It's run by a friendly couple, the food is good,(it has a dumb waiter)prices are cheap, especially the doubles. There are two bars, one up, one down and it's a bit like a dolls house, a reminder of times when customers were all tiny victorians. It can get packed so you have to get there early in the evenings. At five, the suits pile in and there is an overflow to upstairs but downstairs is where its 'happening,'if ever. Situated in a back street away from the relative chaos of the city centre, once through the doors, the outside world ceases to exist... Sue - 12 Jan 2004 15:29 |
