Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Welkin (JD Wetherspoon)

Situated in Liverpool's Cavern Quarter, this is a branch of Wetherspoon's that undoubtedly attracts a large amount of visitors to the city, especially in the evenings and at weekends. It's not a 'spoon's that we go to too often. On a Thursday morning, nursing a hangover from a heavy afternoon, evening and night of drinking and with our usual breakfast place having no available tables, it served a purpose.

The Welkin always seems popular for breakfast, with the clientele mainly being locals preparing for a day's shopping (or perhaps drinking). The two old ladies pottering around who eventually sat on an adjacent table having ordered a bottle of wine at 10:45 in the morning, being a case in point.

There are 2 floors. The ground floor is fairly uninspiring and I've never really explored upstairs.

The usual Wetherspoon's beers were on - Greene King Abbot, Ruddles Best & Sharp's Doom Bar. Guests were both dark beers - Rudgate Vanilla Mild & Elland 1872 Porter. There was no real cider, that I could see.

Update:
This has now gone back to being one of the worst Wethers you can visit. The beer selection (real ale) is a joke. The 'guest' ales are never on (0and they never turn the clips around so as you know). Back to its old piss poor ways. Simply awful.

7/8/18:
Though this is still an ugly Wethers I have to say that the beer selection in here has improved greatly. Of the 5 Wethers in town this now consistently has the more interesting and varied selection of beers. A pity about the interior but that's excused due to the beer. A 1 now becomes a 6.5.

1/3/15:
A truly horrible Wetherspoons. Badly designed. Cramped, dark and ugly. And that's before you get the usual shoddy Wetherspoons service. Has lovely clean beer fridges.

Smaller than most this was a busy JDW and we managed to get seats - normal tables - and we chose Brewsters Aromatica and Green Jack Waxwing which were fine. A decent selection here as there were beers from Redemption, Wimbledon and Beer Studio as well as the usual.
