Ma Boyles Oyster Bar in Liverpool

Found this restaurant near to the hotel we were staying (Mercure), as it had been recommended by a walking tour guide. Excellent staff, greeting on arrival etc, great food and realistic prices, wide beer selection etc. although we were not drinking as we were en route somewhere else. We had the local ‘scouse’ which is a beef and vegetable stew, and very nice too. Thank you.

Ma Boyle's Alehouse And Eatery is located on Tower Garden's by the really impressive Our Lady of Saint Nicholas church.This is a superb pub that offer's a brilliant food and drink's range and it was very busy when we visited here in the afternoon. The pub itself was originally located in Old Hall street and was opened in 1870 and for many years traded as an Oyster house but moved to its present location in 1974 as the train station opened. This pub is a fantastic place to visit as they have a brilliant outside terrace area which gives stunning views of the church.This pub has a superb interior with many interesting fixtures and features and when we went to here the christmas decorations where up.It has an excellent basement area which has had a bit of work done and to top it off the staff are superb in here. When we visited here we had a few glasses of cask ale's which were superb and where really well priced.This is a superb pub thats in a superb area of the city centre and well worth going to.(This is my fifth review of Ma Boyle's Alehouse And Eatery). Opening Hours. Monday-Thursday-11.30-23.00. Friday-11.30-00.00. Saturday-10.00-00.00. Sunday-10.00-23.00. Hours May Differ From Above. Public Transport. Train Station. James Street Train Station.

Great cozy spot and delicious food! We were told we had to have the Scouse and we are so glad we did! Loved it! Definitely worth a visit!

Had a meal here on 25 of October the food was beautiful and served so quickly considering how busy they were so glad I booked staff lovely really enjoyed

Me and my friend went for a late Sunday roast and we had an absolutely lovely evening. Food was delicious, staff were fantastic and particularly our waitress, Jessica. She made sure we were looked after, very friendly, attentive to detail and simply speaking, an epitome of excellent customer service. Jess, thank you for making it such a pleasurable dining experience. You are a star!

Absolutely amazing and staff brilliant couldn't fault a thing , defonetly a hidden gem 1st visit won't be the last food really good quality

We went for a bottomless brunch and it was really good I would highly recommend a visit . Ray was our waitress and was excellent I was never without a drink top marks

We called in this venue due to a recommendation and it didn’t disappoint. It’s in a good area but not easy to find if you don’t know your way around so best to use the satnav or maps. Not far at all from the train stations or popular streets in the city centre. My hubby and I were showing a good friend around Liverpool and we stopped off here for a late lunch early dinner and the food was fresh, well cooked and delicious . It was also great value for money. The staff were friendly and helpful and we all really enjoyed it and will visit again in future.

Great bottomless brunch! Amazing value for £35 and Ray kept the drinks flowing . Location great for the festival we were attending

We decided to try Ma Boyle’s for a quick lunch. Good decision. BLT and Cod Goujon sandwich with a portion of chips. Fantastic. Quickly prepared. Great quality and reasonable price. Beer and ambiance good also. Recommend.

Das nahe den Museen gelegene Restaurant ist in einer Seitengasse versteckt, so dass wir lediglich aufgrund der Tripadvisor Empfehlung es fanden . Innen ist es authentisch wie ein pub gestaltet mit Holzdielen, Lederbänken, Deckenkacheln und einer gut ausgestatteten Bar. Die Fish und Chips waren excellent mit einem lecker zubereiteten Fisch, Mayonnaise und breiten County Fries. Unser Kellner war sehr zuvorkommend und dienstleistungsorientiert.

What a find. We were sitting in our hotel room Googling eateries and Ma Boyles was 5 minutes away. Thought we'd walk round and wow, we're SO glad we did! Really warm welcome from all the staff and the Hunters Chicken we eventually decided on was excellent. Freshly cooked and served with care. They made us feel really welcome and showed they cared about their food and service. We were "persuaded" to share a fruit crumble and custard which went down well with the final white wine. Nothing I can say that exaggerates how good it all was. Try it you'll live the experience

This was not our first trip here , but we put this part of our Anniversary weekend events because of its great brunch menu. After coming across from the Van Gogh exhibition- this was a great place to eat . From the moment we walked in the service and food was top quality. And big thanks to all the team there , this is worth the find in Liverpool.

This is a really lovely restaurant/bar we found quite by accident. Originally we just stopped for coffee. We returned each morning of our stay, then decided to have dinner there one evening. It is a great stop for coffee, lunch or dinner. We had burgers on our evening visit they were HUGE! Served with a big portion of chunky chips with skin on. They also serve the most wonderful Sunday lunches and have other great offerings. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend.

A lovely restaurant, good and service is excellent. Good selection on the menu. Staff are really friendly. Highly recommended.

Lovely relaxed evening listening to jazz having dinner and a few pubs. Service super friendly and quick. Can’t fault it.

Recommended by John our tour guide for the scouse ( which we never realised was stew), we didn't book however they fitted us in for 1.5 hour table which was well enough to eat comfortably. The scouse ( even the veggie one) was amazing. So tasty. Staff friendly. Nice atmosphere

Lovely warm welcome all the staff were very friendly and chatty especially our lovely waitress Ray. We went to try the Scouse and it didn't disappoint it was delicious. If near the docks I would highly recommend

Great little pub. Great atmosphere. Food was decent pub grub affair at reasonable prices. Some lovely ales. Live music. What more could you want?

stumbled across this gem whilst exploring the city visiting my son. loved everything about the place, food was delicious and plenty of drink to choose from.

Great eatery and had a beautiful meal with 4 pals. Everyone enjoyed their food very much. Thanking Rae,Ray or Rai for very her very attentive service throughout the meal.

Excellent Sunday roasts with a great wine list. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff... so glad we heard about this gem as it was tucked away.

Found this place by chance and didn’t regret it! It was the only place on a Sunday night that was packed- says it all! Good great, service efficient and friendly. If you visit Liverpool, find it!

Visited this gem tucked away off Water Street and nestled by the beautiful St. Nick’s church gardens to sample their legendary Scouse ~ We tried the following: 》Scouse Pie 》Sticky Toffee Pudding 》Apple and Peach Crumble They offer 3 types of Scouse but we decided to go for the one with the Pie (traditional beef scouse topped with a flaky puff pastry lid served with seasonal veggies and chunky chips). Quite rich with chunks of meat and veggies on it complimented by a side of greens and chips - such a hearty bowl of goodness, so satisfied with it. For desserts, we had the Sticky Toffee Pudding and Apple & Peach Crumble which were both equally scrumptious with just the right amount of sweetness to 'em. Washed our meal down with a refreshing "Perfect Storm" cocktail and beer. Ma Boyle’s caters for breakfast brunchers, lunch catch ups and later get-togethers with delectable bistro food and a fab range of drinks & irresistible cocktails. It’s an intimate hideaway from the hustle and bustle of city life which features weekly jazz nights too. The attentive and accomodating staff made our dining experience here so enjoyable.

Not a great place. Called in for drinks. Considering it calls itself an alehouse, they only had one real ale on which had turned and tasted awful. Toilets smelt and there was no hand soap in ladies loo. Didn't eat here due to above but had planned to book Sunday lunch. Changed our minds after ale and toilet experience.

What a wonderful place to go for brunch. We opted for the bottomless version and it was great value. There was a good selection of food - which was delicious - and a range of cocktails as well as the more classic prosecco and beer. On the day we went, it was very busy with a large party that clearly kept the staff busy but the staff were attentiv to us all. Two members of staff in particular - Tom and Maddie - stood out with their attentive service and their obvious desire to ensure we got the absolute best experience we could. I cannot recommend it enough.

Lovely meal. Lovely atmosphere. Lovely staff. First time eating here but will definitely be going back. I had the blind scouse pie which was delicious.

First visit to Ma Boyles. Everything was perfect: food, drink, music, staff plus it was toasty warm on a cold day. I will definitely be returning soon.

Brilliant staff - that stands out as probably the most memorable thing !! The were unbelievably nice, clever, witty, observant and professional. The food was excellent and can honestly say the Scouse was brill. Good surroundings, very comfortable and cosy. Our friends all thought the same so that cant be bad. Very close to where I live so could easily be regular. Have revisited and had the Christmas meal - wow soooo good. Staff again brilliant - this place is slowly becoming a regular go to place when I have visitors

Food was cold venue was cold potatoes were hard not a nice experience 🤷 stuffing was hard very little vegetables

The Sunday roast was plentiful and tasty at a reasonable price. Intimate restaurant. Staff were brilliant. Friendly and attentive. There is a basement dining area, but ask for seating at ground level.

Good food at pretty reasonable prices. Portion size about standard and friendly service. Can’t really argue. Place had a nice vibe.

Amazing place had great food, very generous portions. the service was impeccable especially from Rachel who served us, she was amazing very helpful and funny. we had a lovely time overall would definitely recommend !

My twin brother Stephen and I were exploring around this area of the city when with temperatures dipping ,November weather was awful,we dropped into Ma Boyle's Alehouse & Eatery and what a great time we had. A great looking pub set over two floors ,decor and furnishings are amazing ,the cellar area is awesome ,a speakeasy look to it ,there's great looking serving bars and lots of seating options both inside and outside looking out on to the beautiful St Nicholas Church . We ordered a pale ale each ,these were served in pristine condition ,despite the cold weather we sat outside were we enjoyed our pale ale's and planned out the day ahead. My pale ale was really good ,well balanced ,hoppy but not overhopped ,hints of toffee ,a delicious aroma and aftertaste ,just a classic British pale ale served in a classic British pub. We really enjoyed our pale ale's in here before we moved on and although our visit was only fleeting as on every other visit to here we had a great time. Ma Boyle's Alehouse & Eatery is easy to locate along Tower Gardens. Opening hours are; Monday to Friday,open from 11am. Saturday & Sunday ,open from 10am. Well worth checking out if you're in the area.

Ate here on the 5th of November amazing food pork belly to die for and steak like butter wonderful service from staff we will return when next in Liverpool

Brilliant staff - that stands out as probably the most memorable thing !! The were unbelievably nice, clever, witty, observant and professional. The food was excellent and can honestly say the Scouse was brill. Good surroundings, very comfortable and cosy. Our friends all thought the same so that cant be bad. Very close to where I live so could easily be regular.

Unexpected place to go for a Sunday lunch, but was not disappointed. From arriving to a pre booked table, to leaving everything was right on point. Good selection of beers and drinks and the lunch time menu had just the right amount of choice. Well worth going for the traditional roast. Highly recommend this place.

Luke warm roast dinner asked for it to be reheated and got returned with just more gravy poured over it very disappointed as this restaurant was recommended to me

I really wanted to give this place 5 stars but after an interaction with the "Bar Manager" it most definitely isn't worth it. First, Olly, the barman who served us downstairs the entire day, was very tolerant of the increasing drunkenness. He did a great job. However, the problem arose when I asked for a simple double Baileys. It's an easy request. A double Baileys, that's 2 x 50ml measures in the same glass. Olly wasn't sure and gave me 1 x 50 ml measure. I asked him to clarify that what I was saying was correct with his manager, which he did. However, the interaction with her was ridiculous. She told me that a 50ml measure is a double. I think what she was trying to convey was that ordinarily, a 50ml measure is a double for most spirits which I understand, having worked in hospitality for 25 years. She decided that she'd be patronising but showed me the measure and pointed at the measurements engraved into the side. I explained, again that a single measure for Baileys is 50ml so a double would be 100ml. She proceeded to show me the till which confirmed what I was saying. But instead of apologising, she doubled down on her claim. Maybe a bit of extra training for her would go down a treat. She just wouldn't admit that my asking for a double and expecting 100ml of Baileys was correct.

Went here for Sunday comfort food and thats exactly what we got. Scouse pie with mash and veg was delicious and crumble to follow with custard of course! Waitress was on a trial shift.. she was excellent should definitely get the job I reckon!

Great service and lovely atmosphere. Friendly bar staff and great selection of drinks. Good location.

The food was really nice and reasonably priced. Received a warm welcome and was well looked after by the lovey Rachel. Would highly recommend Ma Boyles in Liverpool.

We visited today as a special occasion (my dads 75th birthday) and I can’t rate it highly enough, wish I could give 10 stars. From the moment we walked in we were welcomed warmly and shown to our table, with a bowl of water waiting for our dog. Our food was amazing (I can’t believe the generous portions of meat with our roast dinners) and the gravy was exceptional. Our wine and other drinks were lovely. I do need to make a special mention to our wonderful waitress Rachael , a really amazing young woman from Bristol who made our day extra special, so kind, accommodating and utterly professional, an absolute asset to your team! All the staff were great, but she really took care of us, even bringing my dad a lovely “happy birthday” plate even though he was too full (and very pleasantly so) from his roast to eat any more 🤣. Thank you so much and we will absolutely return (we have our eye on the scouse pie!) Best wishes to all the team xx

Popped in on a Monday evening. Staff were lovely and very friendly. The prices were spot on- the food was great and freshly cooked, and their was a good choice of keg beer. Perhaps a bit too cold for me , but it warmed up and tasted good.

The hard hit hospitality sector was given a lifeline by the government, from the 12th of April some of the coronavirus lockdown restrictions were lifted with outside service only so it was just so good to be out and about again enjoying the fantastic pubs our city is justifiably famous for and one pub I was eagerly looking forward to visiting was Ma Boyles Alehouse And Eatery, a pub I always enjoy visiting. I love the look of this pub ,set over two floors, wonderful furnishings and decorated tastefully throughout, lots of seating options spread throughout this pub both inside and outside looking out onto the beautiful Our Lady And St Nicholas Church, this is were we luckily managed to get a table, we track and traced and a really bubbly and pleasant member of the bar team took our orders of a beer each, we chose a wonderful Italian beer called Birra Angelo Poretti ,these were served in excellent condition being iced cold and sparkling, we just kicked back, chilled out and soaked up the great vibe in this busy and popular pub. My beer was exceptional, a classic light, hoppy and unpretentious lager style beer bursting with taste, very easy to drink, a beer style both myself and my twin brother Stephen are particularly fond of, it was just so good being in such a lovely pub enjoying a quality brew and to be honest socialising again albeit socially distanced. We really enjoyed our beers in here and although our visit was only fleeting as on every other visit to here we had a great time. Ma Boyles Alehouse And Eatery is easy to locate along Tower Gardens. Opening hours are;Monday to Friday, Midday till 11pm. Saturday & Sunday, 10am till 11pm. A wonderful pub,if your in the area most definitely well worth checking out .

Ma Boyle's Alehouse&Eatery is a great pub in the city centre that offers a superb food and drink menu.Established in 1870 on Old Hall street and originally a Coffee House'it was then converted into an Oyster bar and in 1974 it was moved to the tower building due to the train station being opened.Located in a superb area of the city centre and next to the church of Our Lady of Saint Nicholas and a stone throw away from the majestic Pier Head it really is the ideal pub to enjoy a meal or a drink.The pubs interior is superb with fantastic seating area's and throughout the ground floor interior plenty of interesting fixtures and features.There's a fantastic downstairs rum bar that offer's a great range of rums.We visited here on the 22nd of April and as the lockdown restrictions limit your visit to outside service we gave our details for the track and trace and were shown to a table overlooking the church.A staff member on duty took our order of a couple of pints of Birrificio Angelo Poretti beers an excellent beer from Italy that was well served and at a price on par with other pub's in this area of the city centre.Ma Boyle's Alehouse&Eatery is a fantastic pub and well worth visiting and is easy too find from James street train station take a right on James street'then you take a right turn on the Strand and walk until you see a church called Our Lady of Saint Nicholas a beautiful church.(This is my second review of Ma Boyle's Alehouse&Eatery).Opening Hours. Monday-Thursday-11.30-23.00.Friday-11.30-00.00.Saturday-10.00-00.00.Sunday-10.00-23.00.Hours May Differ From Above Due To The Covid 19 Restrictions. Nearest Bus Stop. James street train station. Nearest Train Station. James street train station.

Amazing meal, after being open for just one day after lockdown the team smashed it! Bart our server was so attentive and polite, we thoroughly enjoyed the food and drinks and will be back soon!

Boris has laid down the roadmap out of the pandemic for the hospitality sector with pubs being allowed to reopen on the 12th of April with outside service only and from the 17th of May inside and outside service allowed and by June 21st more or less back to normality so it will be great again to visit some of the great pubs our city is justifiably famous for, one of my favourite pubs is Ma Boyles Alehouse & Eatery. This is a very cool pub ,the interior is superb, set over two floors, multi roomed, wonderful decor and a cool looking serving bar on each floor and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub both inside and outside looking out onto the magnificent Our Lady And St Nicholas Church. Our last visit here was wonderful, just before the 3rd national lockdown descended, great food,superb real ale's and fabulous service by staff who are genuinely pleased to see you in their pub, had a great time in here and hopefully when the 12th of April arrives this pub opens taking full advantage of its outside seating area ,if so I eagerly look forward to visiting here again. Ma Boyles Alehouse & Eatery is easy to locate along Tower Gardens and is most definitely well worth checking out when the 3rd and final lockdown is lifted.

Went on Christmas Eve as a couple for their bottomless brunch. Lovely venue, belter eggs benedict and attentive staff always topping up drinks. Cheers!

OK so if your looking for a hideaway off the beaten track can not fault this place, massive thanks to the Two lads working, I had the Steak and Ale pie, which on a Sunday Night was welcomed, t Da Missus had the Crispy Belly Pork (which alas wasn't Crispy) but the service was second to none, that Lads made us feel extremely welcomed. upon arrival, and let us bring in Coco, who loved having a cuddle with the guys.Thanks for making us welcomed, and we will deffo be seeing you agian.

Had an amazing bottomless brunch. Food was absolutely delicious, they made my mother a unique plate off the menu because the weekend brunch wasn't available during the week. Dan was such a great host singing Christmas songs and joking about my dad's jumper, all while being professional and ensuring our drinks were topped up all afternoon. Fantastic host he is a credit to your business, could not ask for better service. Absolute must if you are visiting Liverpool, wonderful experience.

What a little hidden gem! Went for breakfast after the night before just what the doctor ordered... lovely full English. Cosy and clean great staff definitely be back.

Jamie was an amazing host. She was really friendly and was there for all our needs when we needed drinks at our bottomless brunch. she made our day at celebrating our flat mates birthday so lovely and we couldn’t have appreciated it more, a credit to your restaurant

Just after the 1st coronavirus pandemic lockdown restrictions were lifted and pre tier three coronavirus pandemic restrictions that ultimately led to the 2nd lockdown my twin brother Stephen and I decided to drop into Ma Boyles Alehouse & Eatery and what a great time we had.I love the look of this pub ,its set over two floors ,wonderful decorative features throughout this pub ,both floors are dominated by a solid wood serving bar and there's plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub both inside and outside looking out onto the beautiful Our Lady And St Nicholas Church, this is were we chose to sit on a beautiful but cold night.We were here on a Saturday night, we gave our details of name and phone number to assist with the governments track and trace system and then sanitised our hands, after a quick study of their real ale's we both opted to have a pale ale each, these were served in excellent condition, we took our drinks outside were we just kicked back, chilled out and took in the great pub we were in. My pale ale was exceptional, a crisp, well balanced, full bodied pale ale, hints of toffee and a big hit of hops, very easy to drink, a real ale style both myself and my twin brother Stephen are particularly fond of, it was just so good being in such a fabulous pub with my wonderful brother enjoying a quality brew.We really enjoyed our pale ale's in here and although our visit was only fleeting as on every other visit to here we had a great time. Ma Boyles Alehouse & Eatery is easy to locate along Tower Buildings, Tower Gardens.Opening hours are;Monday to Thursday, 11.30am till 11pm. Friday, 11.30am till Midnight. Saturday, 10am till Midnight. Sunday, 10am till 11pm. A wonderful pub,most definitely well worth checking out if you're in the area.

We wanted to eat Scouse in Liverpool and were not disappointed by Ma Boyle's meal. Very tasty and filling. Staff very friendly and attentive. Enjoyed the historic building and history of the place.

Wonderful old historical building in the city centre where simple food is available served without unnecessary clutter. Enjoyed fish Gounod and halloumi salad with chips. Well worth a visit.

When we went for bottomless brunch late August there were a few minor issues but two members of staff, Andrea and Sam went above and beyond to make our visit wonderful. Thank you for the great service! Food and drinks are also fab.

Visitamos un domingo por la noche sin reserva, pero nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos.Teníamos un entrante para compartir seguido de una comida de rosbif los domingos que estaba muy bien preparada y muy sabrosa, aunque el tamaño de la porción era un poco grande para que mi esposa terminara por completo. Tuve el pollo fricasé que venía con salsa de crema y estaba delicioso. Con mucho gusto podría haber comido otra porción de eso. El servicio fue perfecto y el ambiente del lugar era bueno. He visitado antes y esta segunda visita fue tan agradable como antes. Muy recomendable.

Good beer and gin selection. Very good menu selection . Lovely atmosphere .staff were very helpful and attentive

Miré hacia una calle lateral y vio una terraza hermosamente iluminada. . Pensé que parece interesante tal vez comer algo. . así que entramos. . qué pequeño hallazgo adorable. . . Nos atendió Dan, que era tan brillante y burbujeante que lo quería como mi nuevo mejor amigo jajaja. . . De todos modos, hubster y yo comimos una hamburguesa que estaba recién picada y la piel cortada a mano en chips gruesos era muy agradable. . tenía todos los procedimientos de seguridad en su lugar también. . gran lugar . . .

Nice pub meal. We had The scouse and the chicken with leeks in sauce. Nice and tasty. Staff helpful and friendly.

¡Así que tomo otras reseñas como base! ! Este lugar está escondido en Stand Street y todas las críticas se leen bien y me llevaron a decir ¡vamos! ! Pedimos las alas de miel y siRaCha ChiCken junto con papas fritas cargadas de Ma: sal y pimienta. Buenas elecciones, ¿verdad? ! ¡Lamentablemente no! Las alas eran insípidas, extremadamente insípidas: todo el recubrimiento estaba en el plato, no en las alas y las papas fritas no estaban cocidas ni el queso derretido. Realmente pobre considerando que quería venir aquí a desayunar, ¡y eso no está descartado! El personal es realmente agradable, pero la comida necesita una gran mejora para que vuelva. ¡Lamento darle 2 estrellas ya que estaba convenciendo a mi esposa de que fuera! No me detuve para los postres ya que la comida fue una decepción; con suerte, mejorarás

Great little place, the guys who run the place couldn’t do enough for us. Served quality food, and a good range of drinks

Popped in for a drink after walking down a windy river front and ended up with a very tasty bowl of scouse with warm crusty bread and pickled red cabbage Yum Yum! Very friendly staff and great service.

Only stopped here with the family for a quick drink in the outside seating area. Such a lovely looking terrace area we just had to stop and have a swift one!Staff very attentive and friendly.Excellent organisation in relation to social distancing etc so we could all relax and enjoy a drink in very clean, tranquil surroundings. The food looked amazing so had a quick look at the food menu and it’s so well priced. Think I’ll be coming back for breakfast....

Ill keep it short, staff were freindly and proffesional, food was tasty and well portioned. we had 3 courses and felt comfortably full. Will definitely be returning!

Stopped in here for drinks and some snacks and I was impressed with how normal the experience felt, whilst also feeling safe. There are a number of safety rules including track and trace, sanitiser, social distancing and table service. I can't fault the service and we had a lovely experience sitting outside.

We booked for a table of 4 on Saturday at 1.30, got a fab little table outside, all the staff members were lovely, especially Danny he brought a fab atmosphere! Food and drinks were lovely, would defo recommend and go again!

Great find.. lovely helpful, friendly staff. Food and service is excellent. Faultless. Highly recommended.

Ate here twice with friends on a birthday weekend stay at Liverpool, great food service and staff, would highly recommend...

Great experience! We pre-booked a table for lunch after visiting Western Approaches nearby. The staff were really friendly and helpful. We were greeted on arrival & taken through the simple COVID-19 protection steps including hand sanitisation & registration of the party leader. We visited on an 'Eat Out To Help Out' day which made our meal even better value. It would still have been good value at full price though. The home made burgers are amazing as are the twice-cooked chips. And the Oreo cheesecake was lovely. We'll definitely visit again.

My twin brother Stephen and I had just been wandering around the beautiful Our Lady And St Nicholas Church And Gardens and as the rain started to hammer it down ,typical English summer weather we thought we would dive into Ma Boyle's Alehouse & Eatery and what a great visit we had .I love the look of this pub ,the interior is superb, set over two floors ,wonderful decor and furnishings throughout the two levels and three rooms ,an eye catching serving bar and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub both inside and outside looking out onto the beautiful church. My twin brother Stephen and I were here on a Monday afternoon, pub was busy with a great atmosphere, we were greeted with a smile by a very pleasant member of the staff, we gave our details of name, phone number or email address to assist with the governments track and trace system and then sanitised our hands, we were led to a table were we ordered a pale ale each,we payed contactless, our pale ale's were served in excellent condition, we just kicked back, chilled out and took in the great pub we were in. My pale ale was outstanding, a crisp, well balanced pale ale, hints of toffee a delicious aroma and aftertaste, a classic British pale ale, it was just so good being in such a wonderful pub enjoying a quality brew.On this visit I cannot really comment on the meals as we were here only for beers but I have ate here on previoys visits and the meals are just superb .We both really enjoyed our pale ale's in here before we moved on and although our visit was only fleeting as on every other visit to here we had a great time.

Fantastic bottomless brunch, great food and quick top-ups. Really nice location and bar. Definitely recommended!

Greta pub friendly service. Waiter service at present. Bookable. Outside seating as well as seating in the square by the church...need plastic glasses for this.

Wow, what a meal! Just visited with my family, I had the chicken pie. Our server was Danny (I think) & he was great. COVID precautions all in place, put us at ease. Well done, my new favourite place!

Without a shadow of a doubt one of my favourite pubs in Liverpool is Ma Boyle's Alehouse & Eatery, a pub I always feel totally at home in.I love the look of this pub ,its a beautifully appointed pub ,its set over two floors ,the 1st floor is basically a two roomed pub ,a solid wood serving bar, great decor and furnishings including great tiling ,nice decorative features ,exposed brickwork, dark wood panelling, the downstairs is even more cosy, again an eye catching serving bar, lovely furnishings and decorated tastefully throughout, theres also plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub both inside and outside looking out over to the fantastic Our Lady And St Nicholas Church, its just one really good pub. We were here on a Thursday afternoon, I think the whole of Liverpool were out drinking a beer or two before P M Boris closed down our country in a bid to halt the spread of the coronavirus visited upon us. Greeted with a smile by a very pleasant member of staff, after a quick study of their beers I opted to have Liverpool Brewing Co " Liverpool bier head " bitter 4.2% ABV while my brother went for Portobello Brewing Co " star amber ale " 4.3% ABV ,both these beers were served in excellent condition, we just kicked back,chilled out and took in the great pub we were in. My beer was really good ,a smooth and well balanced bitter ,consistent from the first sip till the last sup, a totally refreshing bitter indeed, my twin brother Stephen also gave me the thumbs up to this beer .We both really enjoyed our beers in here before we moved on and as on every other visit to Ma Boyle's Alehouse And Eatery we had a great time. Ma Boyle's Alehouse And Eatery is easy to locate along Tower Buildings,Covent Garden its adjacent to Our Lady And St Nicholas Church. Opening hours are;Monday to Thursday, 11.30am till 11pm. Friday, 11.30am till Midnight. Saturday, 10am till Midnight. Sunday, 10am till 11pm. A great pub,one I I highly recommend you visit if your in the area.

Fuimos por recomendacion de la guia del free tour ya que hacen el estofado tipico de alli. Carta variada y con muy buena pinta lo que pedimos y lo que tenia la demas gente en sus mesas. Relacion calidad precio, bastante bien. No es caro.

Ma boyles food is gorgeous scouse is the best has the best staff so friendly. Would go again .reasonable price as well .

A nice historic little pub in a quiet, off street location next to St Nicholas Church. Decent range of beers. Friendly greeting. Now I know it's only a pub and all we ordered to eat were burgers, but they were absolutely top notch. 2-for-1 burgers on Tuesday night meant that we both ate and drank for less than one meal in many a pub. Definitely recommended.

Not impressed. Place is lovely as are the staff (although good luck actually getting a table as nearly all were reserved). Breakfast very underwhelming as it sounded fabulous. Mostly cold, small and the 'slow roasted tomatoes' had just been in the same room as someone with a fever to cook. The teaspoon of hash was the hottest thing on the plate.

Really nice food. We used a voucher from the confidentials app (worth checking for deals). Staff were friendly. Unfortunately the restaurant isn't suitable for wheelchair users. Wouldn't recommend for people with reduced mobility, unless you book a table (steps to lower floor looked very steep). Would highly recommend brunch!

Out in Liverpool with friends and found this wonderful eatery. One of the best Sunday Roast's I have had in a long time and service was excellent especially Felicity, Sarah and Ellie who all made sure that our experience was one to remember. Will definitely recommend to family and friends.

Popped by today with some friends for food. Got to give it to my mate for picking this place because OH MY LORD the roast was phenomenal!!! I'm in and out of liverpool quite regularly now and I will 100% be recommending this place!! First time here and certainly won't be the last. The servers were fantastic too. Felicity, Ellie and Sarah were just on it. Great food, great company, great service and a great atmosphere that was set by the team there. Truly outstanding. I've been to a few restaurants in the area recently and were disappointed with nearly everything they offered. This place however completely outshines them!! Can't wait to be back!

Bought a deal from Liverpool confidential and so glad I did as the good was amazing. I would of happily paid full price, it was so good. My partner had the cheese and bacon burger and I had the chicken, ham and Leek pie which was amazing!!The atmosphere was so lovely and we over heard a conversation between the management and other customers where he was telling them about all the amazing things to do and visit in Liverpool which was so friendly.Even though it was our waiter's first day, you couldn't tell. He was extremely friendly and professional and a great addition to your team.I would definitely recommend this gorgeous little gem.

Had a fab day with the girls for bottomless brunch , great value for money and great location would definitely recommend

I was very let down by my first visit to Ma Boyle's after reading many great reviews. We arrived and were seated quickly, but our young waitress absolutely STUNK of stale alcohol; it was clear she had been out late the night before. She spilled every drink she brought to the table and not once did she clean any of the spills up. We placed our orders and after waiting 10 minutes, she came out to tell us they had no black pudding. We were the first visitors for brunch at the start of the weekend so we were shocked and disappointed by this, as it was a favourite menu item for most of us.

Visited with a group of friends for a Birthday Bottomless Brunch celebration.

Food spot on! Staff dead friendly and cocktails divine! My fave little place. I think there’s been a change in staff - last time we went there was a lot of attitude but this time it was like another world!

Food was really good, unfortunately the waitress was to busy “Chatting up “ the male guests (flirting for over-sea readers). Which resulted in us having to ask for Salt and pepper twice, it was never actually delivered to our table which spoilt the hand-cut,skinned chips other than that a good place to eat!!!

Whilst the venue itself is lovely, the service and food was terrible. Having been ignored several times when the staff member came over to serve other tables and take their orders, we ended up having to go to the bar. We both ordered the Classic Scouse which is described as 'Slow cooked chunks of British beef....fresh crusty bread & butter'. In both our portions there was one chunk of beef, and the bread was dry with no butter. For £8.50 it was definitely overpriced and disappointing. Will not go back.

Love the atmosphere here. Brunch was lovely and presented well. I tried the veggie brunch and it didn't dissapoint me. Reasonably priced. Lovely Christmas's feel to the place with the big tree.

Pub apartado de la zona más transitada pero con una atmósfera auténtica .

called in on my 50th birthday week and wow, this is a stunning pub tucked away at the side of a church and between beautiful buildings. they have lovely staff, good beer and the food is amazing. The place is absolutely spotless. if you are in Liverpool you must visit this place. Well done Ian.

My partner and friends visited on an afternoon. Fantastic service. Lovely bar. Decorated beautifully. Staff friendly and welcoming.

well well well, where to begin.

Having been pub crawling since 12 noon I was recommended this place for my dinner pre match.

Kjempegod mat. Veldig hyggelig betjening. Super atmosfære. Spiste 2 ganger der. Både middag og lunsj.

Excellent staff and food. Cannot fault it in any way. Hidden little gem. We will certainly be back - thank you
