Ian Mapp left this review about White Star

First pub of the day - and setting a very high standard.

Not in the Good Beer Guide 2023 but I have to say, as I find. My London Pride (maybe the reason for its exclusion) at 11am was as good as I have tasted anywhere. And its a beer I have a lot of experience with.

Full of memorabilia for the Beatles and Titanic but managing to feel non-touristy and authentic. Red leather seats in several rooms partitioned from each other. Going at a quiet time, I could take time to look around and having the "reserved" seats to where the fab four sat to myself.

Slightly expensive (saying this a lot on here, so may have to reset my limits) at £4.70 a pint and cash only bar.

Excellent start to the City and much better than everything else in the immediate area.

The White Star remains the best drinking option in the Cavern Quarter of Liverpool, but mainly because of its multi-roomed traditional interior, rather than its beer quality.

There is always a good mix of locals and tourists here, with many of the latter in to see where the Beatles used to come. The pub has many photographs of the band, along with pictures of the Titanic and other White Star ships.

4 real ales were on offer - Robinson's Dizzy Blonde, Black Sheep Pale Ale, Bombardier Glorious English & Bass. Note, card payments are not accepted.

Brainy Pool left this review about White Star

an atmospheric old-style pub filled with Beatles memorabilia and maritime imagery. some folkies were playing some very evocative sea shanties and old Irish standards and it gave the pub a great feeling this afternoon. I had two pints which were both drinkable but slightly on the turn. sandwiches and pork pies brought out and all customers extremely friendly old Scousers. swerve Mathew Street and the main shopping drag and come here instead.
