Liverpool's oldest LGBTQ venue. Staff know everyone who comes in just wants to have fun. Friday nights DJ Fluff plays great pop tunes so you can dance away the night. Plenty seating. Yes it gets busy Friday and Saturday night... But Sunday afternoon.. it's my favourite place for roast dinner.... Why. Cause it's super friendly. It's full of regulars who all know each other... But it's no cozy club... Every one is welcomed. The drinks are less expensive than many local venues with house being other's top shelf. Needless to say.. always tasty

It was the first gay bar I have visited in Liverpool 12 years ago. After a 5 year gap, yesterday I was lucky enough to visit here again… same style, literally everything is absolutely the same. The only change is the people who are visiting, and some of the bar members. I found the staff the same: nice and welcoming! Still low prices, and the same happy hour drinks/ cheap shots.. I really enjoyed every minute of my stay last night. Hope, life takes me back soon again 😇

Excellent place, with friendly People, unlike London where the gay bars/clubs are so hostile and dingy, and very uninviting with menacing "bouncers" glaring at you. Any wonder stopped going to any London establishment like so many. Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham are all 100% worth visiting.

The gents toilets have never been cleaned properly 😑 the urinal area is heavily stained and once cleaned, some smelly blocks wouldn't go amiss. Wood is hanging down over the urinals and the lock on the toilet does not work same in the ladies. The pub is lovely with a well stocked bar and very friendly.

I am on holiday in Liverpool for the first time. I was looking forward to come in the pub but us I have a disability with a walker could not get in. Not happy about it.
