Roscoe Head in Liverpool

Small and friendly pub with good quality beer

What a hidden gem thst well worth a visit .Been coming here many years .Person behind the bar (4 th oct ) was personable helpful and made for an enjoyable experience .

Love the Roscoe great location great service great beer selection

A gem of an old style pub selling a selection of well-kept real ales. The pub is well attended by camra members, and has been voted camra pub of excellence many times.

The Labour Party Conference is on this week in Liverpool and you couldn’t wish to visit a better pub, that’s so much about Liverpool and so much about the Labour Party. The place is spot on, the service, friendly and kind - the beer excellent the pies more so. There were ten of us - we loved it.

Nice pub to drink a beer and experience the feeling of English pubs

Very welcoming traditional pub. Great beers at very reasonable prices. 0

A lovely local friendly pub. Unfortunately the owners were away when I visited. Being a family member of William Roscoe I would like to have had the opportunity to speak with the owners to learn and provide more information on William Roscoe.

Friendly bar staff and enjoyed a decent Guinness in the cosy back room.

Lovely little pub , great beer and lovely atmosphere.

This is an authentic pub that has retained it's original features; serving real ale at great value for money prices. Comfortable seating and the service is the best I have received in any pub. This pub is popular with local scousers, but if you are a visitor to Liverpool and you want to experience a real British pub, then the Roscoe Head should be at the top of your list.

Well worth its CAMRA Pub of the Year award.

boss pub,boss ale,boss staff, what more is needed

I was only in Liverpool for 5 hours, and I came here twice. Alan and the crew, as well as many of the patrons, made me feel at home. I'm already planning my trip back.

Great local pub. Staff and customers were very friendly. They had a good choice of real ales.

Nice pub, it's quiet enough to sit and talk with friends. Service was great.

This is a fantastic pub, atmospheric, cosy and well positioned just 5 minutes from Central Station. Lizzy and Josh, the bar staff, were incredibly warm, knowledgeable and attentive. I've rarely had better service in the city centre. I'd recommend anyone who finds themselves with time to kill or a thirst to pop in here.

One of my favourite pubs in Liverpool! The service is always great and the prices are very reasonable. There are 3 separate seating/lounging areas, but they are all very cozy and intimate. It definitely seems like a pub where local people gather. I love the vibes here, definitely check out this place. The bartenders are always so friendly and welcoming.

Great real ales and pretty reasonable for town

Always a welcoming friendly atmosphere.

A must visit pub. A classic gem. Always great real ales and a chance of pies. Always good service.

A lovely find on our trip. Staff great. Pub a real gem

A pleasant pub, always very clean and tidy, but the range of beers on sale is very narrow, and they are all very weak.

Nice beer. Nice people. Nice place.

Had good banter and quiz night here. Good beer and very friendly

For a small bar, the Roscoe Head has it all. Great selection of beers, pies and character.

What a cracking pub the Roscoe Head is! Great beer, happy staff and lovely rooms to sit and chat with a pint. It doesn’t get any better than this.

1st time here friendly little pub nice Guinness!

Such a great 'locals' pub in the City Centre - always a lovely welcome & top beers

My twin brother and I were pub hopping around this part of the city when we decided to drop into The Roscoe Head Pub,a pub I always enjoy visiting on any trip to Liverpool City Centre I take. I love the look of this pub, interior is superb, it's a good old fashioned Victorian era pub,small interior, a great looking serving bar dominates the main room, there's three tiny snug rooms ,wonderful decor and furnishings and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub both inside and outside when the weather is good. We were here on a Thursday late evening, we ordered session ale's from Fyne Brewery, these were served in excellent condition,we chilled out and soaked up the great vibe in this busy and popular pub. My ale was really good, well balanced, well crafted, hints of toffee, a delicious aroma and aftertaste with a smooth finish, its hardly surprising that this pub is so popular with ale's served in this good a condition. We both really enjoyed our ale's in here before we moved on and although our visit was only fleeting as on every other visit to The Roscoe Head Pub we had a great time. The Roscoe Head Pub is easy to locate along Roscoe Street. Opening hours are; Monday to Saturday, open from 11.30am. Sunday, open from midday. Well worth checking out if you're in the area.

Spent a couple of hours, extremely friendly, staff were excellent

Nice little boozer. The Taylor ale was fantastic

Pubs like these are why I enjoy visiting new ones and talking to locals and these will be the ones we miss after they’re gone and it’s too late to save them. On a small side street near the bombed out church, the facade is fairly muted. Inside it’s a warm, cozy place with a few small rooms and the main bar area. Learned about this place through the Timothy Taylor’s Champion Club and it hasn’t let me down yet. Barkeep and a regular were extremely friendly and helpful to a non-local like me. Likely my favorite pub in the city, the perfect pint and bag of crisps.

Really cosy pub with top service and chatty bartenders. Make you feel proper welcome

Made welcome immediately. Good selection of beers.

The Roscoe Head is an excellent pub thats located on Roscoe street and is one of the best real ale pubs in the city centre and it's a pub that's been In all the additions of the prestigious Good Beer Guide.

We have been visiting here for well over 40 years and it's just as good now as when we first visited here.We visited here early on in the afternoon and it was very busy which is how we like pubs as the atmosphere is a lot better when places are full. The pub itself has an excellent interior with a multi-roomed lay-out with superb fixtures and features and fantastic seating options throughout it's amazing interior.It's a really historic pub and was 1st established in the 1830's and has stood the test of time. When we visited here we had a few glasses of Timothy Taylors brewery Landlord beers which were perfectly served and were very well priced.A fantastic pub thats well worth visiting and easy to find from the bus stop's at Roscoe street it's a short walk.(This is my fifth review of the Roscoe Head).

What else is there to say about this pub! it's absolutely superb, great beers, great staff in lovely surroundings.

Great traditional pub, no food, great beer, no music, conversation!👍🏻🍺

Cracking pint of Tetley's on cask

It's just a brilliant little pub

First class real ale city pub. Staff superb!

A small pub with a great selection on ales.

Traditional pub still sectioned into smaller rooms. Loved the feel of the place had a really nice atmosphere. Nice to see somewhere unchanged, holding on to it's history. Nice place to have a drink.

We popped in for a drink what a lovely hidden gem pub is cosy staff are lovely an friendly an its aspotlessly clean place . We had to pop in on our way to the train station on the way home x

Lovely old feel traditional pub. This place is still divided into rooms, the walls haven't been knocked down to make it open plan. It felt a little bit like stepping back in time, which was lovely. Completely different experience from a 'normal' pub. We all loved it

1st class pint and conversation. In this case TT Landlord. Really well kept. No food in the evening, no music. This is an old school boozer, good beer and conversation in small rooms. Maybe a packet of crisps available. Fantastic.

A small bar with three rooms and a local crowd. The beer is perfectly kept and service is excellent. The atmosphere is great with a friendly, funny crowd who made us feel very welcome. I'd love to come back and spend more time there.

A lovely proper old pub serving an excellent pint. It hasn't changed in over 50 years that I know of. It doesn't need to; it's perfect. Highly recommended.

Great little pub with an excellent selection of beers

THIS PUB SHOULD BE BOYCOTTED .Discriminatory rude nasty female bar owner . I have a support dog for A hidden but oftern debilitating disabilty. I showed her young barman my blue badge and dog ID . He checked and served me and my friends who were looking for a quiet drink after a funeral . Then she appeared. Literally in my face. And personal space . demanding to see my docs. She told me she was going to photocopy them . I refused. I explained not all disabilities are visible . She stated .that blue badge only tells me you can park for free . This highlighted her ignorance on two issues Disability Discrimination Act and GDPR . She undermined her barman . She stated loudly . This is my Bar and I can ask you to leave . I don't have dogs in my bar . She told us to drink our drinks and leave . I told her to reimburse us and we would leave. She was aggressive. Ignorant and her drinks are overpriced £17 for three drinks in her pub . The same drink over the were £13. No wonder her pub is empty. A Vile experience . Embarrassing upsetting and unnecessary . I am seeking legal.adviceabout her discriminatory service .

Proper old school pub, feels Edwardian. Great beers which makes it a must for beer drinkers. Fairly small with a couple of rooms. Great for beer and chat with no distractions.

A real pub, with quality beer and quality people!

A nice place with wonderful people. Silence, peace, relaxation. Perfect for a long rainy Sunday afternoon. The regulars will be happy to chat with you, they are very open. If you interest them with cool stories about yourself and where you are from, you can count on the owners' gratitude in the form of a free beer. And these, of course, are classic from a nitrous pump, which means "without gas" for us 😉

Lovely old pub, good beer. Excellent staff. High recommend a visit.

Gorgeous warm and friendly pub with beautifully preserved interior.

Lovely snugg pub with nice clientelle and staff.

Cracking old school boozer, just off Hardman Street! The demographic was mainly over 50's blokes chatting and laughing without background music. A good pint of Guinness!

There can only be one Roscoe Head. Great pub,great atmosphere & great beer 🍻.

Brilliant pub always visit if in Liverpool beer and service great

A proper old-fashioned pub. Good selection of beer and cider. A little small but if you're after a quiet, cosy place in the centre, this is a good one.

Always a good choice of cask beer in very good order

It may not look like much but this is a perfect pub. Very reasonable prices, great bar staff, friendly atmosphere and a great pint of Guinness. Can't fault it.

Wonderful little pub. An absolute must visit

Didn't have any food so I can't comment. The ale, service and atmosphere were all ten out of ten. A gem of a pub!

An excellent and friendly local pub. Highly recommended.

Pub and bar hopping around this part of the city we decided to drop into The Roscoe Head Pub,one of the best real ale pubs in Liverpool. I love the look of this pub, interior is superb, multi roomed, an island style serving bar dominates the main room, wonderful period features, great decor and furnishings including plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub both inside and when the weather is good outside, its just a great pub to unwind in. We were here on a bitterly cold December night, pub was busy with a great atmosphere, we ordered pale ale's from Ossett Brewery, these were served in pristine condition, we chilled out and warmed up while sipping our pale ale's. My pale ale was really good, well balanced, hints of toffee, hoppy and bursting with taste, a classic British pale ale. 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 The Roscoe Head we had a great time. The Roscoe Head Pub is easy to locate along Roscoe Street. Opening hours are; Monday to Saturday, open from 11.30am. Sunday, open from midday. Well worth checking out if you're in the area.

I've been drinking here since 1970. It's never changed and that's the way people like it. No TV and no music, just conversation. Friendly staff and great beer..

Gem of a pub. Good real ale, clean and cosy setting. No music but good atmosphere and friendly publicans. If you want a classic pub experience with good ale and chat, it’s one of the best in the city.

One of my favourite Liverpool boozers, with excellently kept beer and a proper, traditional pub atmosphere

This pub is small but great place to social. They fought to stay open for many months and definitely deserve a visit

A friendly traditional little pub that's both clean, well maintained and cosy all at the same time. Always a great beer selection gets busy as it's compact and popular. A pint of landlord and a pie makes it pub heaven.

Very nice little pub with cozy rooms and nice interior. Good selection of beers. Highly recommend this place if you are nearby.

Great wee pub after a gig at the philharmonic. Great prices to.

¡No olvides probar los pies! Un auténtico Pub.

Nice decor, good atmosphere, my first drink in Liverpool for over 35 years

Absolute pub nirvana. If you want and appreciate a traditional pub, it won't get better than this. Comfortable, a good range of drinks (real ale and whisky in particular), fantastic service, and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Whether a Liverpool local or a day tripper, a must-visit.

Visited Roscoe’s head pub whilst in Liverpool looking around museums and art galleries. Tried 2 pints, both were excellent and cheap. Lovely small pub with adequate seating and friendly staff.

Charming old pub with good old fashioned service with a smile. Lovely range of cask ales as always. Brilliant

Only a few minutes walk from The Grapes, this locals pub is a great place to mingle & learn for yourself how friendly the residents of the city really are! When visiting any town or city I prefer to seek out the real old locals pubs to really experience the heart, culture & history of the place.

Excellent pub, well preserved and very cosy rooms.

Great bar man, delivered our pints direct from the cellar in a bucket.

WONDERFUL REAL ALE & BEER, WINE'S & SPIRIT SELECTION.

Great range of hand pumps Watch for £5 min on card, so carry cash as well!

Very good pub. One of my faves in Liverpool.

Classic little pub. Great pint 👍

Cozy place - like a living room with good drinks and friendly company! Absolutely a recommendation

A small, intimate pub with a good choice of real ale.

Lovely traditional friendly welcoming pub. Great drinks choice and lovely sitting-out-front area

Lovely little bar tucked away, but in a great spot. Friendly staff and choice of drinks

Went with friends very busy good atmosphere small inside would go again

Really lovely little pub. Great choice of real ales. Highly recommended.

Not the cheapest but a great selection of foods.

Always a cracking place to visit

Friendly staff and lovely fellow- imbibers! Nice evening.

Nice pint of tetleys and chilled atmosphere

Lovely beers. They’ve closed off the road to make a make-shift patio in the sun. Excellent service. Thanks!

Roscoe Head is a tiny gem of a pub thankfully saved from gentrification and destruction. It's has a main bar area and three small snugs, so space is at a premium. At peak times, it's often standing room only. When the weather is nice they have tables and chairs outside in the road. Serves a good selection of ales which are well cared for. Has a locally made pies for sale as well but a limited number. Kids are allowed in before 6pm. Would highly recommended, great atmosphere, decent beers and a warm and friendly setting.
