This is essentially the Merseyside Embassy, a Liverpool supporters pub with a load of Scousers working behind the bar, great if you're a Liverpool FC fan.

The pub itself is fine, has a bit of a hotel lobby feel but they've tarted it up recently, along with the menu. Had a great steak with peppercorn sauce for less than £8 last night.

Only had one ale on last night, think it was Doom Bar, they have Moretti on tap which was very good.

No decent beer. No atmosphere. Indifferent service. What more needs to be said?

Looks like a footie 'n lager pub from the outside, and indeed once inside you immediately see an array of shiny fizz founts and several noisy televisions. However, there is a Greene King IPA handpump hidden away around the side of the bar. Beer was OK, and the barmaid friendly enough, but not a place to linger.

Large single roomed pub with the bar wrapped around the corner at the far end. Lot’s of seating of various styles, sofas. Low and high tables, plus plenty of seats around the bar. All looked clean and in good nick which was nice.

Only beer on was IPA. (groans) Other drinks selection was relatively small, with the usual kegs on offer. Stella, Star, Guinness ect. Cheapish as well.

Bar staff very slow, taking up to ten minutes to process food orders at the one till. Also adopting the classic ‘Who’s next?’ approach to service, so the wait for drink was irritatingly long. Despite this, they were pleasant, good humoured and spoke English, which is a boon these days.

Atmosphere was decent enough.

Not sure about this place to be honest, seems like a good haunt to watch the football, (Landlord’s a Liverpool fan, so they show their games predominantly) but doubt I’d rush back just to drink here
