St Peter’s Tavern, Liverpool

This is a first for me a pub with an altar, Praise the Lord. The staff were telling me that only a few months ago a couple got married in here, as they had met in this building when it was Alma de Cuba. I called in here just on opening at 12 and had the place to myself and I found the staff very engaging and chatty as I sat at the bar trying a few different ales. The handpump line up was Bass, Titanic choc and vanilla stout, Ossett White Rat and Northern Wave Porter, Salopian Oracle, Northern Monk Sup, Brimstage Trappers Hat and Weetwood Cheshire Cat. Please note that their ales are split over two bar areas the main bar near the altar and a smaller bar area situated at the opposite end.

1936 pub company‘s transformation of the old church previously housing Alma de Cuba may be their most ambitious project yet. A vast restoration respecting the fabric of the building and yet reinventing it as an enormous traditional style pub. The below review doesn’t mention that there are actually two more floors including an extra bar on the third floor, it is an extraordinary place. Umpteen real ales on including Bass and a number of dark beers- needless to say it’s a must visit.
