The Grapes, Liverpool

If you ignore the hen/stag party crowd at the weekend, this is a lively pub for a weekend drink in the city, Saturday afternoon Karaoke is one of the best,not just the "semi pro" singers showing off but plenty of non singers, so entertaining, you may have to stand though , as seats fill quickly.

Usually has a mediocre singer/karaoke on. As always its way too loud.

Part of the tourist trail in the Cavern Quarter, I was expecting to find the place full of Japanese Beatles fans. However, I actually found a mostly older clientele listening to rap music... Traditional furniture and decor. Two handpumps, offering Directors and Caledonian Flying Scotsman (£1.05, half) when I stopped by briefly.

VERY busy as always you have got to get here early doors to look round
