This place is great! It's the oldest pub in Lancashire! I think it's been around since 1320!…read more The building has a thatched roof, which I love, and all the drinks are served from a very tiny bar, about a foot and half wide! The pub itself is quite big, and has many rooms with plenty of seating. It kinda feels like your friend's grandparent's house with random chairs, and nook and crannies. The bathrooms are outside, and the sinks have freezing cold water. This probably isn't as much of a problem in the summer, but we were here in December, and it was absolutely freezing out and the thought of heading out to the loo was dreadful! Everyone was really friendly; it's a real locals only pub, but everyone was quite chatty and in good holiday spirits! It was a nice welcoming crowd. Best of all, there's a super friendly pub kitty!

The Old Bank is probably one of the nicer pubs in Crosby down South Road. Sat just down the road…read morefrom Waterloo train station, Old Bank is a nice place to go for a few drinks or a bite to eat if you prefer pubs to bars, but also like quite a friendly and comfortable atmosphere. From the outside, the Old Bank looks pretty special as the front is tall and has quite a traditional design. Inside, there is a variety of seating and the pub makes good use of the space available to provide a comfortable drinking environment. The function room upstairs is also pretty spacious and good for hosting live music events. The food available is nothing special - the usual pub grub and nothing more - but it's worth a go if you're peckish and in there already. The drinks are reasonably priced and they offer a fairly good selection of draught beers as well as various bottled beers and spirits. A lovely pub not far from the station that offers a nice environment to go for a few drinks with friends or a bite to eat.

I was therefore expecting loads of guest ales, traditional features and old man with his dog that nobody was sure was still alive but topped up his pint any way. Nope none of these.

I imagine that on a sunny day for anyone visiting the nearby beach this will be perfect stop on their way from the sands but there was little keep us there once we had slaked our thirst.

Looking at it from the outside, The Marine pub looks like it belongs in an episode of 'Last of the…read moreSummer Wine' or something and indeed whenever I walk past, elderly couples and friends always seem to be bussing in and out of the place. Inside, the pub is quite pleasantly decorated, with a range of seating providing a comfy setting for you to enjoy a refreshing pint after a walk on the front. During the week, The Marine also has meal deal on, offering two meals for less than ten pounds which represents great value for money. The food itself is traditional pub food and is fairly tasty but at the price you can't really argue anyway. Their selection of draught lagers and ales isn't particularly extensive but they're also not very pricey. Swings and roundabouts, really. Nevertheless, despite the issue with the beer, The Marine is a lovely place to go for a spot of lunch or a pint or two after taking in the sights walking along the marina

The Pheasant Inn is another pub/restaurant by the bypass, completing the trio of pubs by the main…read moreroad (with Red Squirrel and Weld Blundell), although The Pheasant is slightly removed from the other two, located on the back roads on the way through to Hightown. Despite its location hidden away from the other two, The Pheasant remains a popular destination for various occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries for my family and I, or even if nobody can be arsed cooking. The reason for our regular visits to The Pheasant is down to their excellent food. They offer a good variety of pub food, including seasonal dishes alongside the usual classics such as sausage and mash or fish and chips. On my last visit, I had grilled guinea fowl, which was superb and perfectly accompanied by chorizo, tomato and bacon - definitely one to try. The staff there are pleasant and friendly and the atmosphere is both warm and relaxing, ensuring every dining experience there is an enjoyable one. The prices aren't too unreasonable, but when the food's this good you really shouldn't care even if it does seem expensive.

The public house sits on the famous Anfield Road and is in spitting distance of the home of The Reds, meaning on home match days throughout the season the venue is packed full of Liverpool supporters. This said, the great atmosphere means away supporters are welcomed - not with opened arms but more a nod of awareness. Dotted around the venue are a number of plazma televisions that screen match after match after match and when there aren't any matches on, are usually tuned, predictably, to Liverpool TV. The staff are friendly and talkative and make your visit to what is billed as 'The World Famous Arkles' a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

The date above the front door is 1924, but the building dates back to 1827. This is a good place to go for a traditional pint and a chat. No sign of a jukebox or a tv. Note the interesting collection of photographs and memorabilia of Liverpool in days of old - particularly the pictures of the Liverpool Overhead Railway which served the docks and ran until 1956, or thereabouts. Note also the old Higsons etched windows and mirror in the public bar. In conclusion, the Volly is a splendid example of a good honest community local, well worth seeking out when in the Waterloo area.
