Thomas Rigby's, Liverpool

Quality pub. Grade II listed. Good Beer Guide 2023. Separate dining rooms, which you could be mistaken for thinking you are on a sailing ship. Huge external courtyard, with external screen showing the football. An interesting beer board - with sliding in/out indicators - shows a good mix of European Keg and British cask. Okells house but I boringly went with a TT Landlord in fine condition. A bit of something for everyone here and I would happily come back.

Our early Tuesday evening visit to Rigby's was the quietest I've seen this pub for some time. There were just a handfull of other people scattered around the pub. The pub looks quite impressive from the outside. Inside doesn't quite live up to the same expectations. Although the main front bar with its bare boards feels quite atmospheric and there is a more comfortable room at the rear. The courtyard behind the pub is a lively outdoor space to drink during the summer. Okell's Bitter is the regular beer. Guests were Northern Monk This Beer Sleighs, Timothy Taylor Landlord, Purple Moose Snowdonia Ale & Ossett White Rat.

Enjoyed our visit to this 2019 Good Beer Guide pub with it's Okells beers. We chose interesting guest beers though, Rock the Boat brewery Here comes the Sun, and Red Star Pogue Mahone both of which were fine. Lovely courtyard shared with sister pub, Lady of Mann.
