Over the years Rigbys has been a great pub. In the old days it had lovely copper tables inside until Okells come along and ripped them out. Now it is a very expensive run down city centre boozer. It's a man's pub and not the kind of place you want to take your other half or your family for a drink. The place has a rough feel to it, it reminds me of one of those saloon bars you see in old western films.Its a place that's in need of new life and new direction.

Thomas Rigby's has to be Liverpool's must expensive run down pub.The place is just a complete dump.The paint on the outside of the building is peeling off,the floor on the inside is dirty,the tables have writing on,the staff have no uniforms and look like they should be selling the Big Issue outside.The toilets smell,the beer glasses are dirty.The beer is not kept well and is cloudy.This place has to be the worst real ale pub in town.

One of my favourite pubs in Liverpool and always my first or second call when enjoying the Dale Street crawl. Rigbys is a multi room pub, smaller than the outside would suggest. To the right when entering is a panelled dining room with the tap room proper to the left. The bar counter runs down one side and there is a more secluded room with a vaguely nautical / Nelsonian theme at the back, a raised alcove like area to the back left and a large courtyard which is shared with the Lady of Mann. As this is Liverpool there are the inevitable sports screens of various sizes. Unusual wood and leaded glass bar and pretty grape mouldings over the front leaded windows. Good quality Okells bitter and IPA always on sale plus up to six changing guests from regional and micro breweries. As with the larger Fly there is a wide range of European bottled and keg beers, and of course the UK keg drinker is also catered for. Although like the Fly it is run by Okells there is a definite difference in style between the two pubs, Rigbys being a little rougher in every way to the well polished Fly, here the punters are a bit older and sometimes include obnoxious suits, the staff are a little less on the ball, but definitely still a classic.
