A very good looking pub inside and out with some splendid red leather upholstery on show, firmly in Beatle land it manages to pull off an authentic traditional pub vibe. The beers were not overly exciting but my Purity Mad Goose was more than adequate for my visit.

First pub of the day - and setting a very high standard.

Not in the Good Beer Guide 2023 but I have to say, as I find. My London Pride (maybe the reason for its exclusion) at 11am was as good as I have tasted anywhere. And its a beer I have a lot of experience with.

Full of memorabilia for the Beatles and Titanic but managing to feel non-touristy and authentic. Red leather seats in several rooms partitioned from each other. Going at a quiet time, I could take time to look around and having the "reserved" seats to where the fab four sat to myself.

Slightly expensive (saying this a lot on here, so may have to reset my limits) at £4.70 a pint and cash only bar.

Excellent start to the City and much better than everything else in the immediate area.

The White Star remains the best drinking option in the Cavern Quarter of Liverpool, but mainly because of its multi-roomed traditional interior, rather than its beer quality.

There is always a good mix of locals and tourists here, with many of the latter in to see where the Beatles used to come. The pub has many photographs of the band, along with pictures of the Titanic and other White Star ships.

4 real ales were on offer - Robinson's Dizzy Blonde, Black Sheep Pale Ale, Bombardier Glorious English & Bass. Note, card payments are not accepted.
