A little bit of a suprise and not quite what I was expected. Housed on the University campus - time it wrong and you are behind a group of students paying individually for drinks. At least they dont have chequebooks these days.

It has the feel of an estate pub. Modern, multi roomed, with booths around.

GBG regular including 2026. Three cask on and I managed to find a beer that had only one other check-in on untappd. Lunar Light from Bright Oak Brewery. Lots of the past beers (as indicated by the ceiling mounted pump clips) were from the west midlands.

Located in the University of Liverpool, this is a pub that has a mixture of locals and students. It regularly makes the Good Beer Guide and has a good selection of real ales and ciders, often winning the CAMRA Liverpool Cider Pub of the Year award.

Not being open at the weekends and being a fair walk uphill from the city centre, it's not a pub I get to often enough. In fact, it's had a bit of a makeover since my last visit, which was pre-Covid. It does indeed look a bit fresher inside. The outside still has a fairly unappealing look, with flats above.

The 5 cask ales on our Tuesday afternoon visit were Peeless Skyline & Ice-Breaker, Byatt's Regal Blonde, Big Bog Baltic Porter & Electrice Bear Werrrd! The cider range seems to have diminished since I was last here, but they still had Weston's Rosie's Pig Tropical, Hairy Ferret Traditional & Cock Eyed Bush Pig. There were also a couple of craft beers from Neptune, namely Pacu & Hell's Canyon.

This is still one of my favourite pubs in Liverpool. It's a shame there is not enough business for it to open at weekends, when I am generally in the city.

Weekday only opening times make this one a bit awkward to tick. It’s well worth a look if you can though, a hideous building housing a quality real ale pub. Basic barebones interior, but a staggering array of pump clips on the walls. Four ales and two ciders on when I called in, Plum Porter very reasonably priced at £3,20 and it was a tranquil atmosphere despite visiting on a graduation day. A rare example of a proper university pub, second best only to the sadly missed Herdwick bar at Lancaster.
