Ma Egerton's Stage Door in Liverpool

Small friendly "stage door" bar behind the Empire. Decorated with photos of stars through the ages. Good beer selection with a few real ales. Guiness was on point. Tried the Scouse & was excellent. Footy crowd at tea time before match so very busy. Get in around 4.30 to avoid.

Great pub, lovely food, lovely staff and great atmosphere.

Such a gem of a place and so happy I came across this fantastic pub. I had good plate of scouse which was absolutely delicious. If you haven't visited here you are missing out

Excellent historical pub with great real ale. Worth a visit to have a chat with the knowledgeable landlord and look at the interior of the pub.

Lovely food and friendly service. The scouse is really good. History of place fascinating. Liked it a lot. Will go back

It’s a grand old historic Scouse pub with grand Scouse scran, grand Scouse ale and friendly, grand Scouse staff.

Miserable beardy man “served” me. His obvious hatred of humanity killed the atmosphere in the place. Decent pint though.

If you're travelling via Liverpool and have time to spare don't go the spoons on the station walk out the side of the station and try out this brilliant old school pub it's the proper Liverpool experience I've been coming here as long as I remember it's fab

Great historic pub with a good selection of beer, and friendly people. Nice music playing from the 60s and 70s.

Love this place always friendly staff visit every time we go to town

Very quiet on a Sunday afternoon. Lovely pub, clean. Very friendly and helpful barman.

Always a nice drink, small enough for a friendly atmosphere, strangers end up chatting, top staff, the scouse is worth trying, outside area if prefer that.

Fantastic pub, and food amazing. Highly recommend and will definitely return.

A nice little place for a beer if you're heading to the theatre. Food was fantastic, good portions and tasty.

Just time for a quick bite before going to see Wicked! We hadn't booked a table, although many had (maybe next time). Good to be told that the kitchen closed at 6:45 while we were waiting for our daughter to arrive by train. We will be back.

I’ve eaten here plenty of times and they do amazing pizza! It can get busy around popular theatre times as the theatre is just next door, so I’d advise checking theatre times so you can get a table!

Great wee pub . On our first time visiting this wee establishment .

The Scouse and the Yorkshire pudding Scouse were really tasty for a fair price. Really close to the station, literally crossing the street, to grab a pint and a stew before your travel.

As always the handsome man in silver was amazing. Ruth

Went mid afternoon for a drink so at a quiet time only had a pint before a train.but will return to try the food

Great atmosphere for a local pub experience.

Good beer and excellent scouse. Perfectly seasoned. Friendly, professional staff. I'll be calling whenever I'm in Liverpool.

Didn't eat this time but know food is great Scouse excellent last time. Great little pub 2 minutes from Lime street station.

Excellent pub great service and atmosphere 👍

Loved our lunch here. First time trying Scouse and will definitely be back,it was gorgeous!! Love this pub, full of history and really friendly staff!!

Great place. Very friendly place.

It's a cracking little pub. Good food and decent prices. Good staff. Well, it's worth a visit, especially if you are going to the Empire Theatre.

Probably one of the best pubs in Liverpool. Never had a bad experience. The staff are absolutely amazing.

Ukulele Jam Thursday night, great atmosphere and good fun, they make everyone welcome - bring your Uke and play along or just have a sing song. Liverpool pub entertainment at it's Best!!

Always great service and full of bubbly characters

I love this bar. Friendly staff and limited food availability

Great Pub, went in for one and stayed for 7 and food !

Couldn't be bothered to even put my Guinness in a bloody Guiness glass, worst pint of Guinness ever...!

A long time since I had a comfortable bowl of Scouse. But to ask a Yorkshire lad if he wanted it in a Yorkshire pudding.... No brainer! Delicious!! The guy who served me was lovely and kind to the rest of the customers. I can't really comment on the atmosphere as it was me and 2 other tables of 3-4, but I can imagine it having a great traditional pub atmosphere.

One of the places must be visited while in Liverpool

Just had a lovely bowl of Scouse it was excellent I go in this pub regularly when I’m waiting for my train back to London

Had pizza wish I had bowl of scouse looked delicious 😋 had tom jones pizza was not unusual just delish 👍😋

One of my favourite pubs in Liverpool.

A great pub over the years and still is. Pint after match before train or before after Empire gig

We were in for 2 consecutive nights The first being ukele/banjo night and we just loved the friendly atmosphere

I've not tried the food, but they serve great Beers 👍 The staff are very helpful and friendly, there's lots of seats/tables and the atmosphere is great, very warm and cozy 😎 Also a great place to visit for a drink before the Theatre 😉

As always when ever in Liverpool make apoint to visit. It's part of the city's history with photo of film stars good service friendliness from staff and people passing through awaiting trains. But on top of all that the food 5 stars.

Stopped for lunch and could resist the scouse. Deliciously hearty food.

Amazing pizza, lovely cheap drinks 🍸 Cosy pub x

Lovely staff great pizzas and brilliant atmosphere

Really enjoyable place, staff really good.

Lovely little pub with lots of history

A disaster waiting to happen given how crammed it was.

Lovely pub, great lively atmosphere, decent beer, friendly staff & their pizza's aren't too shabby either. Can't fault it.

Spoke to awfully, more interested in packing in people. Would have stayed for food but went elsewhere. Used to come often but had not been for a while. Not coming back. Further, sort out the toilets.

Always worth popping in before a gig at the O2 or show at the Empire

Great pint of Guinness. Place was packed, entertained by a Ukele Band who were fabulous👌

Worse service EVER Was once a great meeting pub now TOTAL GARBAGE

Great pizza as always,shame about the miserable elf behind the bar!

Great experience. Great entertainment. Pleasant , helpful and professional staff

Great pub with lots of character and friendly staff. Nice food...the pizzas are superb! Great atmosphere when having a few drinks before the football match drinks (Everton of course).

It's an intimate venue. It's had its fair share of stars in there over the years. Their pictures are all over the walls. The staff are great. The seats are comfortable. The drinks are reasonable. The selection is great for the size of the place. On a Thursday, you'll find a fantastic Ukulele group playing. Fantastic for a sing along. Was there the day David Bowie died. Two people from the theatre came along with a portable piano. They played and sang a medley of all of his hits. We all sang along. One of the most bittersweet times of my life. It's just quintessentially Scouse. If you're new to the city. You'll be hard pressed to find a more fitting example of the best of Liverpool. And try the Scouse. Boss tha

Quaint boozer in the heart of Liverpool. Great atmosphere and service. Nice to reminisce at the old pictures of famous faces past and present!

Good food and beer. We went there to eat and have a few drinks

Lovely place, friendly staff 😀 will be returning asap 👍

Not been here for a while, popped in Saturday. It's the sort of pub where people will talk to you. Old fashioned boozer, near Lime St station.

Almost no meat in the scouse, asked for the one in a yorkshire pudding (Only sundays) but got the regular one without explanation (?)

Lovely quiet place with helpful staff. Can't fault them.

Excellent little pub, 🍻 got some fun banter from the barman. Very funny 😆🤣 liked it.

Bit quiet when I was there, got overcharged on three shots (£8) and I was served a pint of lemonade when I asked for a half. Lovely old style pub, plenty of character.

What a lovely pub in the centre of Liverpool. Really enjoyed our drink and food, staff were friendly and the pub had a great atmosphere.

Great pub with great atmosphere on Saturday night

Absolutely love this place . The food is so fresh and tasty and the staff are extremely friendly. Excellent place to meet eat and drink before and after a show . And every other time really

Excellent eclectic pub with friendly staff, good range of drinks and excellent pizza offerings. Do it!

Great atmosphere...popped in for a shandy before 42nd street..sat outside in the glorious sunshine hoping to see the cast going in the side door....great pub to visit before going the theatre.

The nachos were amazing and the drinks were so nice very busy and loved it.

Love this place. Went to watch a band at the Academy so stopped off for a quick drink. Turned into three drinks.

Excellent food and drink would recommend this place to all age's my pizza was fit and i just about eat it all

Fantastic bar tender super skilled and helpful, I mistakenly ordered something not to our diet and he changed it immediately . Beautiful place tons of signed portraits, Sinatra, Jones etc etc.

Quick pint before catching the train home

It was fine as I only had a glass of Guinness tell you more when I stay longer

What a lovely traditional little pub that is easily missed as you leave Lime St Station.Full of celebrity character,good ale and the scouse is excellent.

Excellent beer food and service. Ideal for a drink and food before a show at the empire

Lovely family run pub, great pizza!

A proper pub and stayed a proper pub as it was when i was growing up on the Wirral- I am 58 now

Great bar for pre and post theatre drinks. Friendly staff and reasonable prices

Called in to get out of rain. Stayed for 3 hours. Nice food and good beer and excellent music too.

In agreement with all the positive reviews: fab service & food n drink, with friendly, welcoming locals. Arrived as family of 4, slightly hot n bothered & swinging suitcases everywhere, but were sorted with seats straight away, plus great food arrived in next to no time ⭐️

Called in for a few drinks on a Saturday night, lovely pub & atmosphere 👌 and the back ground music was good 👍, not to loud, so you didn't have to shout 😀. Good pint of Madri .

Busy pub next to the station, lots of links to the nearby theatre and its history. Customers friendly, most mature.

Years are passing and the quality of this place is still at the same highest level. Keep the hard work, guys!

Thursday banjo night is such fun

Busy just before theatre, didn't eat there. Staff friendly and helpful

This pub is a gem of a place . Sue and her team , helpful, smiley and professional. Food was first class and excellent value for money . 16 of us went for my belated birthday before we went to Theatre and everyone said they would go back again .👌😂❤️Money we spent included drinks . The pizzas were fabulous

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy drank here with their wives and friends amongst many other famous people

Cracking pub, always worth a visit, didn't eat this visit but pizzas are good value and quality.

Great place for drink prior to theatre. Inside and outside seating.

Fantastic service amazing teamwork

Just popped in for a quick half. Only one cask ale available, with another settling. The one that was on was perfectly fine.

Great pub. Nipped in after a show next door. Very friendly welcome, friendly locals. Great staff.

Great Food and welcoming atmosphere Fantastic Host Ginger sorry I didn't get your name Many thanks from Geordies

Beautiful food and excellent service!

The Guinness flows freely at this cosy spot next to the Empire Theatre

Really friendly and this place has a lot of history

Great service, good food and shows sport
