The River View, Birkenhead

The new '18'? month owners have really grasped the thorn and
really worked hard to attract customers. Their hard selling point
has been food. It must be good, well fantastic, by the crowds in
on Sun.
But, as a drinker only at the bar, I was not to feel unwelcome, just
a little hungry!
I just fed myself with the thought, is this a pub or a restaurant?

Cleveland Hotel, Birkenhead

A bit of a rollercoaster pub.
Great when the affable locals are in, it transforms from a 'basic'
boozer to a cozy boozer full of good bonhomie, etc, etc, etc.
Mind you the new central heating installed by the new owners
does go some way to the cozy bit. (I'm not called a cat for nowt!)
Match play standard pool table in the centre of the bar provides an
ice-breaker. At 40p a go there are plenty of chancers!
