The Brewhouse & Kitchen is a first-rate real-ale brew pub and restaurant in the centre of…read moreLichfield, popular with business-types [unfortunately]. The first thing you see when you enter this alehouse are the copper kettles they use for brewing - they also do tours and seminars on brewing. A fairly broad range of on-site brews are available on tap, plus several guest ales and the usual array of fizzy lagers. I tired several ales, and found them to be of variable quality. The pub covers two floors and several designated areas, so you can find a moderately quiet spot even if it's busy - which it frequently is. There's also a smoking area to the back on the ground floor. Superior pub grub is available throughout the day, plus several "small plate" options for lunchtime. Of these I chose the small cod & chips and the 3-egg cheese omelette - both were tasty and well-prepared, at UKP 5 each. The food was served fairly quickly, despite the fact that a party of "suits" were already marauding the premises at the time. The décor I found appealing, and the staff friendly and nimble on their feet. Warmly recommended for Lichfield!

In this pub last night, one of my friends remarked "is there no surface in here that is flat?" -…read moreindeed, it feels as though you're on a boat due to the wonkiness of the whole place. We agreed that most of the wooden surfaces are likely to be warped due to the years of soaking up spilt alcohol. It's a nice pub, pretty much standing alone in the midst of some sort of time warp battle. To the front of it you can see the docks and all the old architecture (what remains, anyway). Directly behind is a building site that appears to have been neglected midway due to lack of funds or something. And then further away you can see all the new developments that have sprung up in the last 5 years thanks to the Liverpool One project. The pub isn't attached to anything anymore, so it has the effect of being a boat moored in ambiguous waters. Inside, there are two small bars and two main drinking rooms, with additional area upstairs if the pub gets too crowded (which I can't imagine it does). The prices are what you'd expect and the decor sparse, with the exception of various nautical memorabilia and a swathe of pictures on all walls depicting various mariner's scenes. Altogether a nice little pub lost at sea.

The Baltic Fleet stands detached from everything else, like a tram left at the wayside. Its…read morelocation between the city centre and the docks means you're hardly going to stumble across this pub and will most likely have made a concerted effort to try it out. I know I did. The Wapping Brewery is located in the cellar, which means the pub gets first dibs of a fine selection of ales. I tried their summer cider and almost lost the use of my legs. No fruit machines or pool tables blight this place which is a grand idea, but I was curious as to why they have no jukebox. On their website they note how they consider this minus to be a plus but the silence just made the pub feel like it was about to shut. As Liverpool's last surviving sailortown pub, the Baltic Fleet has a strong seafaring theme, right from its fearsome name to the maritime decorations on the walls. Sitting inside with the wind blasting down the dock road outside can fool you into thinking you're onboard a steamer crossing the icy North Atlantic. Or maybe that was just the cider.

As an "incomer" to this area, I was pleasantly surprised to find them watching Rugby Union on one occasion - a rarity in Warrington! The pub is extremely clean and well-looked after and the service is always excellent. The other half of the building is currently another bar, owned and run by the same people but specialising in music - still with a vast choice of drinks.

The menu was not just pizza & burgers there are a lot of great healthier choices too all reasonably priced. The outside is amazing. Will we go again? YES!!! Only negative we found was there are no litter bins in the garden.

The decor is posh and welcoming, the interior is highlighted by reclaimed wood, Edison bulbs, industrial metal, mid century styled seating, and lots of books (which you're actually welcome to read while sipping a pint or 5). I ordered the ribs, which come with fries, slaw, and grilled corn on the cob. The meat was tender, fall off the bone, perfect. I would have liked just a little more BBQ sauce on the ribs though. I asked for an extra ramekin, which the wait staff kindly brought. The BBQ sauce is unique and makes use of bright orange rind and juice to punch up the flavor. The corn was seasoned just right. There is enough food on the "plate," a cutting board, for two to have a large meal. I ordered tea to drink to soothe my sore throat. Tea was served in the cutest little tea pot and was very tasty. I tried a sip of the stout. I will definitely be getting that next time. It was phenomenal! (If you go for just beer, I'd give that 5 stars). The stout had smooth chocolate notes and drank like a delicious cuppa cocoa.

I've been plenty of times, but feel I've got to downgrade them now for a couple of reasons. Don't get me wrong, the food is still great and the selections of beers are great. The venue itself is really nice too... but the prices have been creeping up and up. But worst of all was my recent visit when five of us ordered our food within a couple of minutes of each other. Then one person's meal came and the others came 30 minutes later! No apologies from staff, no explanation, nothing offered in compensation. Really disappointing.

I didn't get to try the food or even see the menu but there's an impressive looking kitchen so hope to return for that at some point (actually have now found menu online and as well as a grill they have a big sushi menu!!) Drinks wise, they had Antica Formula vermouth! The bartender had NO IDEA what it was or how to serve it but we quickly got the ice/lemon/appropriate glass sorted and although it might seem expensive at £4.50 for 50ml it's a good alternative to wine for an aperitif. Prosecco was £22 a bottle which wasn't bad either. I thought the ale selection was a little limited although and I couldn't work out what the microbrewery aspect was (curiously they only seem to have a wine menu even though they have an extensive amount of fancy sprits which you can't see properly). As the evening (Saturday) wore on it became increasingly busy and uncomfortable to sit at the bar with people bashing past you to get their order - they probably need to move some of those chairs on busy nights (/you might want to try another option - amazingly the market was actually quieter by that point!).

Hidden down Kitchen Street in the heart of the Baltic Triangle, the walk to Black Lodge Brewing is…read moremore than worth it. If anything, it's part of the charm; you feel like you're discovering something new, something hardly touched or visited, when you first glimpse the small black and white sign outside. Located in a large warehouse (and as expected of a working brewery) there are very few airs and graces, the main decor being that of essential equipment and the large white tiled back bar. Three large vats of current brews is a great addition, listing the ingredients and dates they are expected to be on tap on a large chalkboard suspended from the ceiling. As the only people there when we arrived, I took the chance to have a chat with the guy simultaneously doing stock take and serving us. Although they're new, open since the beginning of December, they're stocked in couple of bars in the city (including BrewDog) and have recently launched a Mikkeller running club, an excellent way to engage with the local drinking community. I tried some of their Blackberry IPA and eventually ordered a schooner, Josh going for a South Coast Pale, which we then took over to a table. The taps were all around £3.50 per 2/3 and, although not an overpowering fruity taste, the Blackberry IPA was very refreshing with a subtle finish. They have a deck of beautifully branded playing cards on each table so we played a few hands of Karma and Rummy, paired with a few more drinks. They have a selection of cans and bottles behind the bar which they're more than happy to talk through, helping me to expand my beer knowledge with a can of Magic Rock Hire Wire Grapefruit. Tabs are taken and written on the white tiles; a simple and multi-purpose solution to this bar's requirements. We could have happily spent the whole evening here and explored the meat and cheese boards, but the pull of local exploration won. A great addition to Liverpool and hopefully we'll be seeing plenty more of them in future.
