Known as “The Mags” to its locals this pub dates back to the 1750’s. Tucked away in the residential back streets of Wallasey But a short down hill stroll to the Egremont Promenade, it’s elevated position affords it fine views over the River Mersey to Liverpool. Internally it has a lot of character and there are three separate rooms that lead off the main central bar area. It apparently also has a very pleasant garden, but I didn’t utilise this.
The bar has five real ale hand pumps and all five were in operation for my early Saturday evening visit. This used to be a Bass owned pub apparently and Bass still features as a permanent ale. Alongside that there was two from Beartown Brewery, Peach Melbear and Glacier, Well Drawn Brewing 2nd Breakfast IPA and one I failed to make a note of. The Bass was on fine form and the Glacier was a decent pint also.
The Mags has been the local CAMRA groups Pub of the year for the last three years and it’s not difficult to see why.

a very lovely multi roomed pub for civilised drinking. it was an idyllic spot for a pint this afternoon although it deserves to be far busier than it is. Where is everyone, seriously? Only negative is the dire Ed Sheeran background music, which just doesn’t fit somehow.

A cracking pub just up a few steep steps from the promenade. 3 roomed with all rooms having a homely feel. A beer garden is to the rear but a very small area at the front outside gives you a tantalizing glimpse of the River Mersey and the docks on the Liverpool side. Real ales are available. Its a lovely pub.
