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!

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. It was bit bland in fact. 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

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.

Most towns must have a least one of these in their local area, maybe even all three. This Edinburgh pub is on College Road in Crosby, and until recently I didn't really know much about it, or even that it existed. From the outside, it looks like a fairly large and traditional pub and inside, the setting is similarly habitual as it offers a comfortable, cosy atmosphere in which to enjoy a pint or two. The place is usually busy with drinkers, many of them regulars, and although it has a bit of an 'old man' feel about it, it's a nice place to drink anyway. Its location just down the road from the nearby AFC Marine football ground also means I'd imagine it'd be a good place to go for a pre or post match pint to deliberate over the day's events, although that may be a reason to avoid it for some people.
