Blue Scrumpy left this review about The West Kirby Tap

Paid this bar a re-visit yesterday, almost 10 years since my only other visit. It has quite a large room with the bar on the left-hand side. Run by the Spitting Feathers Brewery, there are 8 handpulls on the bar. Spitting Feathers Session Beer & Thirst Quencher are the regular cask ales. Guests were Lakes El Capitan, Neptune Sonas, Salopian Golden Thread & Lemon Dream & Round Corner Market Pale. One of the handpulls was also clipped with a cider - Lilley's Apples & Pears. Craft beers were Tiny Rebel Clwb Tropica, Spitting Feathers Over Time, Thornbridge Dubbel & Blackjack All Angels. Pulpt Flare was the keg cider.

Live music is hosted at various times, but the pub was fairly quiet on our Wednesday afternoon visit. Whilst not a traditional pub (give the White Lion a try), it's still a good option for drinking in West Kirby and probably just about the best choice as things stand.

Unusual building which I felt lacked a bit of atmosphere and ambience despite Spitting Feathers best efforts. A spacious brewpub with lots of dining tables, high ceilings and a smelly pizza oven, it reminded me a bit of Vocation’s effort in Halifax. I decided to join in and order pizza which was excellent, the beers are good too. So no faulting it for what it is, but just not quite my cup of tea. for what it’s worth, only two Spitting Feathers ales on, the rest were guests with Neptune particularly prominent.

A slightly cusrious pub that looks like it was converted from a garage or workshop. Reasonably busy mid-afternoon on a weekday, with pizzas being offered as well as a good beer range. Three cask beers from Spitting Feathers, three from Big Hand and one from Peerless.
