About Poste House

Poste House, or the Postie to regulars, is a small traditional pub on Cumberland Street with a long-standing place in Liverpool’s LGBTQ+ scene. It is more old-school local than glossy cocktail bar, and that is exactly the appeal: affordable drinks, familiar faces and conversation without a complicated concept. The pub attracts a mixed-age crowd of locals and visitors and works well for a quieter drink before the nearby clubs. Its central position puts Masquerade, Stanley Street and Victoria Street only a short walk away.

Lovely old Liverpool pub. Don't know if they do food. My guess would be no, so I couldn't give a food score. Cheap cheerful old pub, plenty of characters and old fixtures. Very cosy, in a gay friendly area. Quite small and a minimum £5 charge if you pay on card. Small outdoor yard at the back. Looses 1 star as the whole time we were in there, they were playing nothing but the Beatles on a loop, might be a bonus for some.

Rebecca is top. She gave us such a welcoming and positive experience, it felt like she wanted to actually know more about us as opposed to just pour our pints! Definitely coming here again, especially since she let us pick the playlist! 👌

Only 2 other people in, very quiet. We didn't have any food, as i don't think they sell it

Rudest bar staff I’ve ever experienced. Asked the lady behind the bar what drinks specials they’ve got on and she looked at me like I had three heads. Then another bar staff member kicked me rather than say “excuse me” to get passed. Charming!

If you are in Liverpool, this place is a must. Mary was so warm and hospitable (even to this blue nose). I wish we could have spent more time in this pub. The hot whiskey was great and I'm not sure if everyone gets a shamrock on the top of their Guinness or just her favorite Kansas Citians!
