Website.

The pub is found in Liverpool, Merseyside, L2 2JH.

Probably the best pub in Liverpool for someone who loves a variety of micro brew beers and continental beer. Central bar with up to 12 UK micros and 12 continental beers, with more bottled beer from around the world. Serves nips (1/3 of a pint) so you can try most of the beers without falling over. Turnover is fast, so if you go back 3 days later, you might find 12 completely different real ales on. Food is limited. Atmosphere is relaxed. Service is fast and efficient.

We have visited this pub 38 times, seen 231 different beers and tried 113 of them.
