St Peter’s Tavern, Liverpool

Completing a walk of Liverpools religious buildings.... I never expected to get a good pint in one of the locations. This is Liverpools oldest church. Opens at 11am - although you probably have to ask why. I was one of about three punters in after midday on a Tuesday. An incredible church conversions - completed with the old memorials, stained glass windows and the alter. Side rooms and an upstairs. The sort of place you can spend an age having a mooch. Impressive cask selection (2026 GBG) and my TT Landlord Dark may have been a bit pedestrian but was in fine condition. In a city packed with interesting pubs, this is simply another one that needs to be added to the list for the pub tourist.

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.
