Stanleys Cask, New Brighton, Wallasey

Rob Hunter left this review about Stanleys Cask

Four hand pulls at the bar with three of those clipped at the time of my visit on a weekday early afternoon in January. The ales available were Ossett Nervous Turkey, Ossett White Rat and Wye Valley HPA. Not a mega exciting selection but the Nervous Turkey was in good condition, setting me back £2.15 for a half.

The pub feels old school, bare boards, ancient looking carpets, with more modern or perhaps just reupholstered banquette seating. The place still smells of smoke just to add to the nostalgic feel of the place. It is pretty much open plan but has distinct sections that probably relate to where separate rooms would have once been.

TVs are dotted about but were not switched on at the time of my visit. Chalk boards list upcoming football match fixtures so presumably they are shown here. Music was playing at sensible background volume.

Seemed to be mainly locals / regulars in on my Tuesday visit around 2:30pm.

It's a bit of a walk from the main drag and I'm not sure I would go out of my way to revisit, but it was good to have tried it.
