The Captain Alexander JD Wetherspoon in Liverpool

Lots of good beers at great prices. Some of the hand pull keg beers on yesterday were amazing and just £2 a pint! Food is what you'd expect but fast service even when busy, which this place always is. Rooftop terrace but no view of the city. Handy location opposite the station too

Always busy but still great service

A very popular place, easy going and friendly

Great service, food excellent, friendly staff

Overall great experience with good food

Very busy on a rainy day in Liverpool. Excellent service by friendly staff.

Great spoons with terrace on roof. But the icing on the cake is the bogs are downstairs

Great selection. Competitive prices. Order online at table. Turnaround time for serving is excellent

Always busy but good atmosphere.

Despite being incredibly busy we didn’t wait too long for food and drinks

Went here today for lunch with my Mum and Dad. Great location in the heart of Liverpool city centre with friendly and professional staff and lovely food. Great service from James :) Highly recommended!

It's a spoons but the staff are amazing...

Busy Spoons. Middle of Liverpool. No major queuing. Rooftop terrace good.

Decent enough wetherspoons right near the docks

A cheap place to eat. A typical Wetherspoon.

Arriba, fuera y alrededor en una hermosa mañana de mayo y mi hermano gemelo y yo decidimos saltar el tren de Kirkby al centro de Liverpool para visitar algunos de los grandes pubs por los que nuestra ciudad es justificadamente famosa, uno de los primeros que visitamos fue el Captain Alexander Pub, que ha estado aquí antes en muchas ocasiones, siempre lo pasamos bien y así lo demostró en nuestra última visita a aquí. Un pub Wetherspoon de gran aspecto, ubicado en dos plantas con una terraza exterior arriba, un llamativo bar de servicio iluminado domina la sala principal, una decoración y mobiliario encantadores y un montón de opciones de asientos repartidos por todo este pub tanto dentro como fuera con vistas a la concurrida y bulliciosa James Street, es solo un pub realmente bueno para relajarse. Llegamos aquí como a las 10. 30 am, pub estaba ocupado con un gran ambiente, optamos por comenzar con la famosa Wetherspoon unlimited tea & coffee deal, disfrutamos de café, chocolate y té, luego optamos por tener algunas cervezas auténticas cada uno, estas se sirvieron en condiciones prístinas, las llevamos arriba a su terraza exterior de arriba y planeamos salir el día antes mientras bebíamos nuestras cervezas auténticas que debo decir que eran tan buenas, terminamos teniendo dos cervezas auténticas cada una antes de seguir adelante y como en cada otra visita a The Captain Alexander Pub nos lo pasamos muy bien. El Captain Alexander Pub es fácil de localizar a lo largo de la calle James. El horario de apertura es; Lunes a jueves, mediodía hasta medianoche. Viernes y sábado, mediodía hasta la 1 am. Domingo, mediodía hasta medianoche. Vale la pena comprobar si estás en la zona.

Went back a couple of times,good beer and plentyful food,very popular place,good for all ages

Slightly pricey than a usual wetherspoon. The atmosphere in the terrace is brilliant

Looked a nice Wetherspoons but didn't have time to stay

Typical spoons, good atmosphere

Great Pub with a Great Atmosphere.. no mixed grill though 🙃

Okay, here's that review from a first-person perspective: Popped into The Captain Alexander Wetherspoons in Liverpool. Got some nice hot food and the drinks were really inexpensive, which was a win! Good value and quick service. It's a solid choice if you're after a cheap and cheerful bite and a pint near James Street. Definitely got the usual Wetherspoons vibe.

It’s a Wetherspoons. Food was bland. But everything was quick and staff were nice.

Went to meet up for a few drinks and go out for the night nice atmosphere and friendly service but my pint went flat in a minute so I never stayed

Ubicación ideal junto a la estación de la calle James, las bebidas salieron muy rápido y el personal amable. He estado aquí un par de veces antes y seguirá viniendo aquí.

Busy but great staff and good value

Excellent grub ,service excellent and general vibe excellent,valve for your pound.

Lovely sun trap out the front. I ordered through the app and it was very quick service. Food was lovely. Staff are friendly and helpful. 🥴

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, fast food and reasonably priced

Several small steps leading up to the entrance, there is also a wheelchair lift. Extremely busy here but was able to find a table...ordered our drinks on the app.

Bartenders and wait staff were really nice and quick with great service

It was ok, just a spoons. You know what you’re gonna get cheap and cheerful. Good value

Stopped here for a bite to eat after Mersey Ferry trip. Ideal place to refresh before continuing to explore Liverpool. Service was good and quick, very clean pub. Food is absolutely fine. Kids enjoyed nachos.

Had breakfast here everything was perfect.

We recommend. We were having breakfast. Pancake very good. Unlimited tea and coffee refills.

Nice place very good staff but ran out of eggs .... So no breakfast very strange ther was a supermarket around the corner

Ran out of eggs, but on the app it never had any warning of unavailable foods. Then when our food arrived we were given 5 hashbrowns. 5 I mean come on and then to put a piece of paper on the table telling us this after bringing us the food. Poor service and I won't be returning.

Noisy place though I would kind of expect this. Service was excellent and quick with one incident with a smashed glass cleaned up within seconds. Food was hot, properly cooked and well presented. Would I come here again though? If in Liverpool again then possibly.

Popped in for lunch and a drink. Good value as always.

An excellent pub when the roof beer garden is open. Otherwise rather ordinary. I've been told that the beer garden opens at 12, it doesn't always.

It's a Wethersoons so can't go wrong

Typical spoons, fabulous value for money, busy and great staff and atmosphere

The first Wetherspoons I have been to that has had a roof terrace! Thankfully on my visit the sun was shining and we managed to find a seat for our large group in the corner. The roof terrace got very busy quickly so it may be hard to find a table sometimes, unless you are quick! Friendly staff and decent speed on table service!

Packed and all seating full when I was there.

Great place, quick service and very efficient staff

Saqué dinero en efectivo en el bar y luego puse el dinero en la máquina de frutas cuando fui a usar mis ganancias, el bar no aceptará el dinero que la máquina me ha dado. Me encanta Wetherspoon para allí precios baratos pero el servicio aquí era terrible

A lively atmosphere with reasonably priced drinks and food.

Ordered large breakfast, and arrived with no eggs and no tomato. Only to be told the information is at the bar about an egg shortage. We ordered online and no information was present on the app. Just got extra hash brown. Nothing about the missing tomato! Later a cut out notice was placed on the table which said we could order any alternative item. Was told it was too late to change the order after eating half the meal. Sausages we're cold, beans in a thick stewed sauce (yes there was enough to say beans, but you could count them with out taking your socks off!) Worst breakfast I've had in years. Had a Toby carvery 2 days ago plenty of eggs and tomatoes along with everything else. Wetherspoons need to up their game, shadow of their previous selves or is it just this outlet. Throughly disappointed 😞

First visit to this Wetherspoons, had breakfast here. Recommend sitting at the window overlooking the street opposite the railway station, some characters walk up and down that street, very entertaining.

Very sad to have an experience like this. Got asked to leave by staff as they said they suspect us of doing cocaine in the toilets. I'm so insulted. I've never touched a drug in my life. I'm standing outside writing this now. I didn't even go to the toilets, so how i apparently did the drugs i don't know. Very insulted this happened and I can't believe this has been how we've been treated. I understand a drugs policy must be serious but to accuse people of taking drugs who have been sitting at a table the whole time is very disrespectful. Please train staff better here.

My biggest problem was the main doors at the front were locked. So in front of the whole pub, I had to walk up. Shake the doors and sadly trudge to the 2nd entrance on the side. Plz people put a clear sign up! I'm not one to care but I felt like an idiot.

I’ve been to this Wetherspoons a few times, and overall, the food and drink are pretty good—good prices, decent quality, and usually a nice atmosphere. However, I had a really unpleasant experience with a staff member that left me quite upset. I went in to ask about lost property as I’d misplaced a bag, and the guy I spoke to was cold, unapproachable, and quite aggressive in how he responded. It felt like he barely even checked, and the way he spoke to me was so dismissive that I honestly felt like crying after the interaction. He had short but messy hair that was thinning, was on the shorter side, and looked fairly young. Later, I saw him shouting at someone at a table, and it just reinforced how overwhelming and uncomfortable his presence was. It’s a shame because the rest of the experience was good, but his attitude really put a damper on things. I’d think twice before coming back if he’s working.

Undercooked.now I'm ill. never again will I go cheap tea again

Order beers through the app, but the server was quite nice. As any other weatherspoon, it was full and there were a few chair open. We went for 1 drink and it was quick and nice

Great breakfast, nice and clean, staff friendly

Full of people. Good breakfast as always.

We came as a group and ordered breakfast. No one came to tell us there were no eggs so the food came out less eggs no ideal on a full English breakfasts/

Hay 6 pubs Wetherspoon en el centro de Liverpool, todos son increíblemente populares, pero en mi opinión el Captain Alexander Pub es con diferencia el más concurrido, siempre está ocupado tanto de día como de noche. El Pub en sí es muy bueno, un bar de servicio largo domina la sala principal, hay una cocina abierta donde se puede ver las comidas que se preparan, decoración típica Wetherspoon y mobiliario, fotos del viejo Liverpool adornando el, hay una terraza exterior arriba, opciones de asientos en el frente y un montón de opciones de asientos repartidos por todo este pub, es simplemente un pub muy bueno para relajarse. Estábamos aquí un martes temprano por la tarde, este pub estaba ocupado con un gran ambiente, por suerte logramos conseguir una mesa de stand, un estudio rápido de sus cervezas reales que debo decir que me impresionó, para empezar elegimos cervezas Peerless Brewery, una ipa para mí, mientras que mi hermano optó por tener una cerveza pálida, estas se sirven en condiciones prístinas, nos relajamos y planeamos el día siguiente mientras bebíamos nuestra cerveza. Mi ipa era realmente bueno, un ipa crujiente, toques de caramelo con matices de vainilla, lúpulo pero no sobresalto , un ipa clásico servido en un pub británico clásico, mi hermano gemelo también le dio un gran pulgar hasta su cerveza pálida. Después de terminar nuestras primeras cervezas optamos por tener otra cerveza cada uno, yo fui por una cerveza pálida de Purple Moose Brewery mientras que mi hermano fue por una cerveza pálida de Phoenix Brewery, de nuevo estos se sirvieron en condiciones prístinas, nos sentamos arriba en su terraza de arriba y simplemente nos relajamos mientras disfrutamos de nuestra cerveza pálida. Los dos disfrutamos mucho de nuestra cerveza antes de seguir adelante, entre mi hermano gemelo y yo disfrutamos de cerveza de tres grandes cervecerías británicas. El Captain Alexander Pub es fácil de localizar a lo largo de la calle James. El horario de apertura es; Lunes a jueves, de 8 am a medianoche. Viernes y sábado, de 8 am a 1 am. Domingo, 8 am hasta medianoche. Vale la pena comprobar si estás en la zona o planeando un viaje a Liverpool.

Busy. Hardly any tables available. But cheap and a convivial atmosphere.

Todo va a Dusney on Ice así que agradable parada en este pub. Ocupado, limpio y amable l. Pero no hay hoja de colorear o de actividades así que los niños orinaron.

we ordered milk and cookies and the blonde lady with the ponytail got annoyed at us and said we were playing the game and now our table has been blocked

Typical Wetherspoons pub, apart from the toilets are on the same level as the seating areas!! Good friendly service.

Found a piece of plastic in my burger. Politely mentioned it to the staff so that the kitchen staff could be warned so that no other customers would get plastic in their food. The manager came over asking questions and it felt like he didn’t believe me or that I had put the plastic in my burger, including picking up the plastic on the plate with his bare hands 🤢. Not great honestly and ruined the vibes. Server was lovely though and checked up on me.

A nice vibe to the place, staff helpful and clientele are of the older generation.

Busy at the weekend, goof atmosphere

Very Busy. But the staff where very hard working & Pleasent. Good value.

For me the best thing is the terrace it has!!! Attention 9 and speed 10!! For me the best thing is the terrace!!! The service is 9 and the speed is 10!!

No eggs on a Friday morning!!! Hash brown substitute???? The chef or manager is a genius. 🤡🤡🤡🤡

Lovely characterful pub, lots of dark oak wood and open plan. Quick service -despite being very busy.

Great buzz. Helpful attentive staff and tasty fish, chips, peas.

Very friendly excellent food 🥑 clean helpful staff ⚕️

We went for breakfast. Nice too.

Decent place, but the service was slower than expected. Ordered a drink, and it took quite a while to arrive, even though it wasn’t too busy. Not a huge issue, but it could have been better. Otherwise, the staff were friendly, and the pub was clean and well-run. Overall, still a good experience

Great bar one drawback was ale i preferred wasn't on tap upstairs tried to order on app no signal even with cloud WiFi

Very tightly packed in tables. Also feels strangely like a Frankie and bennies with the booths around the outside. And the recessed ceiling. No issues with the breakfast and drinks came quick. Just all the tables are very close together. Had a look up at the beer garden on the roof. It’s a large space. But surrounded by offices, so no view of anything.

Yet another fine Wetherspoons establishment, I dined and drank in here and ended up both full and approaching drunkenness, we moved on and increased our drunkenness levels elsewhere. The food was very good and the prices were great. Well done to the staff.

Good value, love using the app to order its quick & convenient, the staff are friendly & great service

5 star review! Not for the food or the ambience or the prices it's the exquisite service provided by Georgina. A star and an asset to the establishment!

Up there as one of the worst spoons I've visited , (2nd only to bradfords) you ordered a breaded vegetable burger and they bring you something different and claim it is said burger, when nit has no breadcrumbs on the patty. The chef then claims they don't do them , so without asking changes the order. Plus it's still on the menu. Poor service all round , noisy, cramped and if this was my first experience of a wetherspoon I would never go back

Always use Wetherspoons when in town or city. Unbeatable value

It was chokka! The chips needed another 10 mins cooking time but, even though it was busy, the drinks came fairly quickly. Order at your table.

Although the restaurant looked really busy I must say there seemed to be an issue with the stocks of food. On this day we were informed that they had run out of eggs and subsequently were not serving eggs with any breakfast meals. They also didn't successfully inform anyone that the hot drinks machines were not working properly, and when I advised that the drink didn't taste right I was told to go to the bar as they had run out of hot chocolate however the drinks were still being served from the machine and instead tasted like water. I would've liked it of the waitress had offered to take my drinks and discard them instead I did it myself. I'm hoping this was just a one off hiccup hopefully I'll try and visit again another time. I noticed from the menu they didn't offer pancakes so if you're looking for pancakes for breakfast, this is not the place. The kitchen area is in plan site of the customers which I thought was a nice touch.

Monday is the perfect day to drink cheap, quality beer. The place is usually full, but a table opens up soon so you can sit at your leisure. It's a cozy place and a good place to sit and chat.

Very busy in the afternoon, had a snack which was good

Can't fault it! Good food, good value!

Great atmosphere in this wetherspoons pub,very busy the service was good

Called in, Friday 14th Feb, walked past a few times since opening but furst actual visit. I was very impressed, a Wetherspoons pub for sure, but moderna and clean whilst retaining a classic feel of a traditional pub. Staff were outstanding, I was served in good time. I chose a meal after selecting a drink, the staff fell over me to ensure I had the service I needed. Nothing here any other Weathies wouldn't have done, but it felt great here. I was on my own, the usual Livepool punters welcone. I will be visiting here again, the food was spotless, I only had the Ham Egg and Chips as I have been ropy of late, it went down without touching the sides! I'm looking forward to the roof bar in summer if we get an actual sunny day! Thank you Weatherspoons, a superb effort.

Better than most of the wetherspoons in liverpool was well please with the service

I visited here on a Wednesday on the same night that Liverpool and Everton were playing. Not being in the least interested in footie, I wanted somewhere to have a reasonably quiet couple of hours after having travelled up from Birmingham. The food here is fine; I had lunch and evening meal. Nothing special in both cases but nonetheless entirely acceptable given the price. Friendly and sociable staff too, with a nice buzz. Recommended.

What a fabulous pub, incredibly busy but we were served immediately and our lovely meal came within 15 minutes and what a amazing value for money it was, we has the special, fish, chips, peas and an alcoholic drink of your choice all for £10.67! Bar staff were amazing and I can't wait to go back next time I'm in Liverpool.

Fabulous pub, fantastic service and great value for money.

Had Sticky Korean fried chicken bowl. Lovely food.

Cheap and cheerful scrambled eggs and toast, unlimited tea/coffee is a great touch

Downstairs is a fairly standard city centre Wetherspoons. Busy, dimly lit, little bit sticky, cheap food & drink. Follow the signs for the roof terrace, though, and you'll find somewhere that is genuinely a hidden gem. It's clean & airy, brightly lit & coloured, partially covered so the whole area isn't totally exposed if it rains. There's loads of space that isn't used much so it's a great place to go with a large group on a busy day. Even though you're upstairs, staff are still very efficient when it comes to bringing food and drink ordered through the app. And it's still a Wetherspoons so you get those Spoons prices, plus the craft beer selection isn't bad either. It's silly that one of my favourite places in Liverpool is a Wetherspoons but it's such a nice space that I make an effort to come back here every time I find myself in Liverpool.

Excellent service and food atmosphere friendly 👌

There's an excellent Wetherspoon's pub on James street that offer's a superb range of well priced drinks and food and was one of the busiest pubs we went to on a pub crawl around the city centre. The Captain Alexander is a large spacious Wetherspoon pub that has superb fixture's and feature's relating to this fantastic area of the city centre and this brilliant pub.Its a superb pub with a superb patio area that's located up a flight of stair's. There's superb seating option's throughout it's whole interior and when we went here it was as busy as it get's.This is without doubt one of the busiest Wetherspoons in the city centre and is a real joy to visit.We visited in the early afternoon and it was packed but we managed to get a seat. When we visited here we had a few pints of cask ale's that where perfectly served and were really well priced as we had a couple of C.A.M.R.A real ale tokens which knocked off 50p a pint.Its a fantastic Wetherspoons pub in an excellent area and it's a pub well worth going to.(This is my fifth review of the Wetherspoon The Captain Alexander). Opening Hours. Monday-Sunday-08.00-00.00. Public Transport. Bus Stop. James Street Bus Stop-10-10A-10Q-18-26-136-N1. Train Station. James Street Train Station.

Cheap beer. Next to the station. Too packed and too stuffy..

Service was brilliant busy food for a spoons top

Very good, cheapish drinks, plenty of tables, nice breakfast, good location, quick service, and the loos are on the same floor, bonus. Recommend.
