St Peter’s Tavern, Liverpool

An old church still retaining its altar and many old features, I was moved to remove my cap on entering. Ahead and to the left is a long counter with 12 pulls of mostly Northern beers, three with cider, two low T-bars of mixed kegs and an Erdinger ceramic, another 1936 Pubco pub so a similar beer range to their other pubs. There’s a fitted out but apparently unused counter to the left. Three mezzanine floors have been inserted giving more seating areas upstairs, if you can find the stairs up to them (by the front door). The uppermost level has screens. A very different drinking experience.

An amazing bar converted from St Peters church. It's huge inside with several areas including an upstairs (not visited). Reasonably busy on a Wednesday, early evening, but getting served can be a problem, with loads of seats for bar leaners, getting in the way. Too many handpumps really, judging by the beer quality, which was OK rather than good. We got our drinks and went and sat on the alter which is covered in tables and chairs. A great, newish venue that we'll no doubt we revisiting soon as we're often at this end of town.
