Strongers . left this review about St Peter’s Tavern

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to win our drinking spurs at St Peter’s Tavern, Hallelujah, go forth and drink from my 12 hand pumps that overfloweth with ales from across this bright and beautiful land… OK that’s enough.
This is an old church, St Peter’s Church, that has been turned into a very interesting and must visit bar that still retains its alter on the far wall where some high seating can also now be found. A very long and a short counter, both lined with stools, run up the right of the nave facing thick wooden tables, the sort you’d expect in a church, that run up the left. In fact everything is church like from the stained glass windows, old exposed brock and bare board flooring. Both transepts have been turned into seating areas and a long decked seating area can be accessed from the left side. The furniture in this outside area looked as though it had been stolen from an Italian restaurant. Upstairs was not open during a recent Monday evening visit, but I noted two levels of balcony seating, maybe I’ll get to have a look next time.
The 12 hand pumps that I counted on the very high counters were drawing three Lilley ciders alongside a decent pint of Bass, Higson’s Pale, Northern Monk’s Sup, Black Sheep, Neptune’s Waterfront, Beartown’s Otso, Ossett’s White Rat and Salopian’s Port in a Storm. The twelfth pump had just gone off and there are four more pumps on the shorter counter towards the front, but these were just double ups and this counter was closed. The days of this place being Alma De Cuba have bought its score down so I nearly missed it, only being drawn in by the big writing on the side of the building. I’m glad I visited and I’ll make sure to revisit when next in Liverpool.
