Lady of Mann, Liverpool

A modernish style bar with a couple of handpumps, it very well attended on a Thursday night and my pint of Kirkstall Three Swords was in good nick, it's a decent place of its type though not really my type, worth a look anyhow.

Found this one a little disappointing after working our way down Dale Street. It shares the courtyard with Thomas Rigby, also Okells pub but does not have a good beer choice. There was an Okells regular and Theakstons Lightfoot available and we chose the Lightfoot which was fine.

Basically the part of Rigbys that people go when Rigby's is full.

I didn’t really quite get what this pub is trying to be, other than a place to drink while watching sport, when I visited last week. There were however three hand pulls with different ales, plus two ‘craft’ keg beers including the 10% Jaipur X. I had a very mediocre pint of Grey Hawk beer, at £3.10. All in all an underwhelming experience I thought, albeit perhaps had I picked a better beer and had there been some sport on that I wanted to watch I might have felt differently – it just didn’t seem to work for me on the day.

Just popped in for a swift one during a crawl, so didn't really have the chance to take much in. However, since it shares a courtyard with its sister pub Thomas Rigby's, comparisons are inevitable and my first reaction was that this comes off slightly worse. This view is reinforced by the limited beer selection from the two of three handpumps on that day, offering Okells Bitter (£1.45, half) and Brains SA Gold. Need to return for a proper visit.

never alters but keep going back sat outside in the beer garden it was far too hot to be inside but it has not changed much from a few years ago

A good pub this one and is always worth a look in. The staff are friendly and chatty, they also host a good few beer fests throughout the year. Had a pint of Salopian Oracle which was spot on.
