The Pilgrim, Liverpool

2011 Good Beer Guide pub with decent real ale range and we chose M & B Blueberry and Liverpool Organic Johnny Handsome. No problem with either of the beers. Unable to get seats as it was quite full, and we stood by a shelf near the kitchen chatting to the chef.

Well named, it is pretty grim. Full of students and downright dirty. Sticky tables & floors, glasses & bottles everywhere, just not good enough, I can't imagine why anyone would ever want to eat here, given the state of everywhere else what must the kitchen be like. Four real ales on the bar, I had a pint of Leeds Funfair, it was poor. Had another pint of Funfair in Rochdale last night, it was good, so definitely down to the pub. Why on earth is this place in the GBG 2010? Don't go unless you like students and grime.
