The Chairman left this review about Baltic Fleet

This has changed a bit since I was last here, but the beer selection is very good and there were plenty of customers. The Farmyard Brew Hoof coffee milk stout was very good.

The Baltic Fleet is still a reliable choice for a decent drink, especially if you're visiting or staying in the nearby Albert Dock. Although, it's not too convenient for the city centre.

The pub occupies a wedge-shape alongside the busy Wapping road. There are two rooms either side of the bar downstairs, with a further room upstairs. Since my last visit, toilets have been opened out to create a unisex area with separate cubicles and shared sinks. The old gents' toilet left a lot to be desired and was quite a cramped space.

Brimstage Trapper's Hat is the regular ale. Guests yesterday were Top Rope American Dragon, Cwrw Ial Limestone Cowboy & Melwood Baltic Fleet Stout. The ciders were Lilley's Red Rabbit & Raspberry Mojito.

Visited on Saturday night. I have visited once before, back in 2016, and so felt a re-visit was long overdue. The pub was fairly quiet compared to how it was on my previous visit. Four cask ales available plus one cask cider, and various keg options listed on a blackboard to the right of the bar. People seemed to be sloping off into the back room after buying their drinks, which is perhaps partially why the main bar seemed quiet. Payment is by card only. My Dark Hollow (Melwood Beer Company) was good. Definitely could have stayed for another had we not been pushed for time. I liked it in here and I will definitely be back.

This was my last pub of a day's pub crawling in Liverpool, initially taking in some of the city's superb heritage pubs, then catching up with some friends who were making their way towards the docks before finishing in the Mathew Street area, which - at Friday teatime - proved too busy and noisy for me. In retrospect I wish I had stayed for another beer or two here, because there were some interesting looking pump clips on the bar and the half of Tatton Best I'd had was very good. (See photos for full range of beers on hand pump.) Although it's been mucked about too much in the past to ever justify heritage status, this is nevertheless an interesting building, both externally where it fits nicely with the spectacular architecture of the docks area, and internally where it is characterful and slightly rough around the edges. I left resolving to spend more time in the Baltic Fleet on my next visit to Liverpool.

Date of visit: 4th October 2019

Enjoyed our visit to this 2019 Good Beer Guide pub with its great selection of local ales. We chose Ad Hop Little robusta and Red Star Catch a Fire which were fine.. There were also beers from Melwood, Big Bog, Brimstage and Higsons breweries. Close to Albert Dock, and a lot of tables and chairs outside so must attract visitors from the various local attractions.

Brainy Pool left this review about Baltic Fleet

Massively improved on my last visit. Then again it was also much quieter. Maybe avoid at busier times. good range of interesting ales in a range of styles, friendly barman and a nice place to relax next to the roaring fire (with truly gigantic logs). It lacked a little atmosphere on a Tuesday afternoon though there were a few Bayern Munich fans in - drinking Guinness of course. Your best in the immediate vicinity but still not sure I'd go out of my way for it again.

Ian Mapp left this review about Baltic Fleet

final pub of our day in Liverpool.

Wonderful location, beautiful building and the monthly sea shanty singalong added to the experience.

Best pint of the night - perfect Brimstage Brewery Trappers Hat.

Loved this and the City.

A walk along the dock road from the Pier Head gets you here and while the place is a bit of a dump its the best of only a few in the immediate outward area (the Coburg and the Baltic Triangle pubs are a little bit further along). Worth the walk out.

Quinno _ left this review about Baltic Fleet

Recently refurbished (and still being done by the looks of it) flat iron-shaped pub 5 mins from the Albert Docks, Museum et al but worth the round trip. The distinctive battleship-like exterior paintwork and red funnels look impressive from distance. Three interconnecting rooms within; enter to the long narrow main bar with access to the apex ‘ships bow’ room off left (with lovely curved windows, best seats in the house) and another long room behind the bar off to the right. Unashamedly basic alehouse in décor with simple furnishings plus plenty of Cunard line posters and memorabilia, although it does seem like a bit more could be done to make it feel less rattly and more homely. Upright piano spotted. Wood burning stove fired-up and pumping out much-needed heat. Pub also houses a microbrewery (Wapping) and three of their brews were available alongside a couple of guests. I tried two of their own beers (80/- and Summer) which were in good nick, and Marble Stout which was outstanding. Also two proper ciders available (Malvern?). Some basic food is served, including a bowl of scouse from a cauldron (with red cabbage and poor quality bread accompaniment) which was a pretty good snack for £3.50 though the barmaid took an age to bring it out despite the pub being fairly quiet. As seems the norm in Liverpool, the gents were execrable. As someone mentioned elsewhere, the pub “seems to be searching for a vaguely bohemian feel”. I quite liked it here and despite its remoteness from the hotbeds of other Liverpool alehouses, would be willing to make the effort to schlep out again. With a bit more TLC, it could be the best in the city.

Old Boots left this review about Baltic Fleet

The long slow revamping of the Baltic Fleet continues. The bar counter has moved through 90 degrees and now sits against the back wall of the front bar, and the main door has moved yet again, this time to where to counter used to be. There's also a posh seating area outside. There are 2 ciders among the 7 pumps including less beer from Wapping than previously. Latest news is that the brewery will remain downstairs.
