Bust micro pub split into 2 areas, bar on the top right. Seems ok and beer was well kept

Another micropub that I've been wanting to visit for some time. Whilst this is a decent addition to Hoylake's drinking scene, I was not as impressed as I'd hoped.

The pub has recently extended into a nextdoor premises. The original micropub occupying the right-hand side has a bar towards the rear, with a bottle shop just beyond. Both the old and new rooms are quite narrow, giving it all a very cramped feel.

4 real ales are generally available. These were Big Bog Welsh Pale Ale, Mobberley Route 97, Liverpool Brewing Liverpool Pale & Peerless Oatmeal Stout. There was no real cider on sale.

Craft beers were Axvex Glashow Resonance, Salt Citra & North South Divide, Turning Point/Pomona Island Inner City Sumo & Glen Affric I Can't Believe It's Notella. A keg cider was Lilley's Star Gazer.

This micro was previously a solicitor's office. The young couple who own the place live above and when the property became vacant, they took it over. I called in here on a Friday afternoon just on opening around 2pm. The two owners were very welcoming and chatty and their cask ales were excellent, also they have previous experience in the pub industry. The pub soon filled up and I ended up staying a lot longer than anticipated. Three handpumps serving Salopian Kalon, Hophurst Brewery Breakfast IPA and Hophurst Milkshake Porter. All of which were fab, this micro is also close to the train station and Spoons.
