Dispensary pub in Liverpool

Terrific pub, great staff and excellent pint of Guinness

Great beer and atmosphere, traditional pub.

A bustling pub with friendly service and a great selection of beers. There are great craft beers and a good selection of pilsner style beers. It’s a slightly scuffed style traditional pub, with far stools of every style for you to sit on. Going the toilets is an experience and the floor was soaking, but the pubs buzz and vibe gloss over going for a swim.

This is your perfect little traditional corner pub with excellent range of cask ales and extensive whiskeys on offer too. A great cosy local

Great traditional pub, good atmosphere football on tv. Guinness was a nice pint and also have Murphys on draught which you don't see very often.

Top tier stout. Also Spaten on draft 🥰😈 just need high stools at the bar, so I can be comfy while yabbering a bunch of utter nonsense with the staff who remain as always great craic! When a bar is still awesome 2 years later they're doing something right. More flavours of Tayto behind the bar than any I've worked back home. Unreal.

Sadly what an experience, throughout the interaction with staff member (530 /3 oct )was none existence did not look up from watching a video with his mate on a laptop ,poured drinks told us price no thank you or anything put chajge in my hand n never looked up from screen .I hate leaving reviews such as these ,usually if service bad sadly I don't bother reviewing bit this is out if order local pubs are essential, even if in town centre ,maybe they don't want the order clientele seeing its in the heart of student living their choice I suppose

Nice couple of afternoon hours spent in the Dispensary. Great selection of ales, pilsners and stouts. I chose to stay on the wonderful Plum Porter from Titanic brewery. Good atmosphere, friendly and efficient staff. Fantastic, fantastic music. Hats off to whoever put the compilation together

One of the best pubs in Liverpool. Everything about it is just right; the cask ales, the Guinness & Murphys, and even the lager selection is top tier.

I waited 5 years to drink plum porter again. It's fantastic 😉

Brilliant place, love this pub.

Excellent pints of Guinness on a beautiful 😍 summer evening , sitting 😀 outside, watching the world go by. Nice friendly service, too .

A good find, well kept beer and good selection. Great service.

Craft beer pub. Looks original. Worth a visit to see inside.

First visit, and will definitely be back! Good selection of beers. Didnt try the food, not even sure if they serve food but will find out soon.

Decent pint, few TVs. Loads of pints on tap

One of the best pubs in Liverpool for a Guinness, great atmosphere and lovely staff

Serves some of the best real ale in Liverpool. A lovely friendly city centre pub.

A fantastic pub and well worth a visit but the cask line up is full of popular big hitters which is a pity when there are so many local brews about. Saying that I did have a pint of the locally brewed Neptune Sea of Dreams

Lovely traditional pub with a god choice of beer

Proper old fashioned atmospheric pub with some great ale

Well kept beer in a traditional pub.

Cracking and friendly boozer we enjoyed it

Just around the corner from the bombed out church, this is a great spot to stop for a pint. The big windows and open doors were letting in plenty of sunshine and warm air on a beautiful late March day. Great draft beers and cask ales to choose from and friendly folk. What more could you want in a pub?

Good old fashioned pub with a great selection of beers. Not noisy or hectic.

Lovely little pub. Friendly staff who know their beers!! Always a good selection of ales. Nice and chilled.

Just popped in for a quick drink. As it was early in the day not many customers in. However staff were friendly and I'd say would have a great atmosphere. Old fashioned place. Nice to find a place like this as not many left.

Traditional Boozer with TVs. Good selection of real ales. Pricey compared to others around.

Always a stop on the way home from town me and me dad. The plum porter really is setting special

Always has a good choice of cask beer.

Pubs really SHOULD be like this. Beer so very well kept. Really nice Liverpool crowd made us away fans feel right at home. May many many thanks all!

An old fashioned pub with some memorabilia of past Liverpool pubs. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff and. Good choice of beer average £5 a pint.

Brilliant old fashioned really excellent place with friendly staff and a great place not far from China Town, highly recommended 🙃

Unfortunately, the beer we called to try was no longer available. Nice little pub, and well worth a visit.

Good selection of beers here. Guinness was perfect. Had a cheese pie here, long time since I saw pies served in pubs! Good place to stop off for a quick pint.

It was only early on like but the setup was really good, can't complain about it at all

Great atmosphere, lovely 'real' pub and amazing Guinness 👏

Well nice pub close to Greek tavern zorba"s and ale is reasonably priced for town allways busy and staff very friendly would go again

Didn't have any food but beers very good and served well.

Brilliant little place. Great pint and fantastic selection of drinks.

small but great and atmospheric pub with some good beer options

Great pub. Well conditioned, Ale.

Used to be a proper pub but is slowly and surely being ruined by having a bouncer which is not needed, live entertainment which nobody wants or listens to, all being paid for by the overpriced beer.

Cracking little pub, very friendly staff and a, great selection of real ales, not been there for a long time, but will definitely be frequenting more often

One of my favourite Liverpool pubs. Particularly like the White Rat.

Traditional pub with nice atmosphere and good pints.

Lovely beers and nice inside friendly staff

Didnt eat as was on an afternoon drinking session . Nice little boozer central to many other great pubs.

A lovely pub. Very tiny inside though so not recommended for clostrophobics. Originaly the building had been a medicine dispensary so hence the name.

I called in The Dispensary because I was randomly looking for somewhere to have a decent pint in Liverpool City Centre. As soon as I saw Titanic Plum Porter on draught, I knew this was going to be a decent pub (the pub opposite had no ales on draught at all, only lager). A live act was getting set up to perform just as we were leaving, which unfortunately we had to miss, but I can definitely say that we'll be back.

Always a decent well maintained real ale

Great service. Well poured pint of Titanic plum porter. Interesting decor.

Nice pub, good choice of beers, good service, cannot comment on food or atmosphere as went in when quiet and did not eat.

Nice pint of white rat, plenty other hand pumps to choose from. Singer and guitar playing, very pleasant way to spend an hour or two.

Igazi pub. Eldugva a fő utca mellett. És hát a Guinness.

Good pub and range of beer, friendly staff.

lovely pub on renshaw st. not the cheapest in town,£4.80 for the guest beers,nice pints of white rat and never a frown. £5.20 for what looked like a good pint of Murphys. Bar has a few bits of the old ljmu Pharmacy inside it. lovely staff

You have to walk past a few pubs to get to this gem.

Great pub, friendly staff, good quality ale, thank you.

Great place to drink with friends

No too sure what's happened to The Dispensary, has it changed hands?? Called in on Friday late afternoon and the place was empty. Beer selection is still good, can honestly say this place used to my favourite haunt when visiting Liverpool. The whole area is changing to be fair, so proper boxers are being squeezed out, I hope it's not the case here. Nevertheless I would highly recommend a visit.

Loved this pub, fantastic music, great atmosphere and good selection of drinks

Very good Liverpool pub about 10 minutes walk from Lime Street Station. 6 cask beers on handpump when I last visited including a porter. A few tables outside to the rear most of them covered. Not too busy 90 minutes before the Spurs game at Goodison Park. The pub was once a Tetley's house called The Grapes and that name still survives on a sign above the bar.

Great atmosphere and good selection of lager

Lovely staff and the terrace is really nice for having beers with friends

Excellent atmosphere live music on a Saturday cosy friendly

As good as ever. Has changed hands since the last time I was there some years ago but it has maintained it's atmosphere. Great people drinking great beer. Recommended 👍

Cracking boozer, friendly staff, well worth a visit.

One of my favourite little boozers in Liverpool City Centre.

Call in here every year after beerfest, great choice of real ale in a real pub.

Brilliant stop here the other evening they had a traditional Irish band playing who were absolutely fantastic The staff were really friendly and welcoming, and they are very dog friendly with a good range of beers, positive reports in every respect

Great pint of White Rat available here

Great location and friendly staff. Didn't have any Port so sat outside with a Gin and Tonic. Just passing through Liverpool and this pub made a good impression.

Closed at 1030pm though supposed to be open till midnight, as it wasn't "too busy". Not the standard expected of this pub, which I know from the past to be a great place.

Great old fashioned real pub. Think Early Doors. Great real ale helpful staff

After spending the day in China Town, celebrating the year of the rabbit. We called in for our last drink. Always worth calling in if in the area.🍻

A great improvement since the previous landlord left. Superb

Great real ale pub in the heart of a great city, Liverpool! Good ambiance & great staff too! Remember to tip these people!!

Perfect for a pint and a catch up. Always go for the plum porter, but you'll be crawling home.

Excellent Liverpool boozer with a great selection of ale. Highly recommended.

This pub never disappoints! Always a cracking selection of beers to choose from!

Great customer service good selection of drinks. Plenty of heating. Even dealt with power cut with good humour

Wow was only in Liverpool for a day and I have to say The dispensary made me feel more than welcome! Great Guinness, lovely vibe and good people! Can't wait to visit again at one point in the coming year!

Cracking pint of Guinness, poured properly for those who care about that sort of thing. 👍🏻

Great friendly pub, with brilliant, knowledgeable staff.

Always good for a few real ales

Traditional pub with outside seating and good service.

Friendly pub, nice beers, good staff, and watch the match as well. Will be calling in again.

Great character pub and fine ales

For ale and beer lovers! Great selection of different ales & beers. Great pub to meet and have a chat with friends. One of my favourite pubs in the city centre.

Only stopped to watch the match. Great atmosphere with decent beers.

Good range of well kept real ales

Proper pub great Guinness and atmosphere

Just great, classic English pub

Handy pub to walk to from lime Street Station various guest beers

Proper Liverpool pub. Could do with a refurbished but we love it anyway

Choice of quality beers in a old fashioned setting. This is the first time i have seen Murphys on Draught for over 25 years, was very happy drinking a few

Bit grotty and old fashioned, not my style...

Top class food, ales and service with a smile

Brilliant real ale! Fantastic atmosphere! Great ale well worth it visit if you are in Liverpool. Currently in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide (2022 )... EDIT August 2022 still a fantastic pub my go to Liverpool Real ale bar.
