The Grapes in Liverpool

Crap bar staff. At least one from Derry. They shout and laugh between themselves. Shall not visit again....

It's OK. Old school pub. It was busy on a bank holiday afternoon. Guy running the Karaoke certainly loved being the centre of attention....but too much so and not to my taste. OK place to have a drink. A bit smelly round by where the toilets are.

Dingy and smelly. It's a place to go if you're a drunk or a bored local. Rude staff. They may as well be drinking cause they look drunk serving me.

ATTACKED BY A FRIEND OF THE MANAGER WHICH RESULTED BEING IN HOSPITAL FOR THEE DAYS. POLICE TOLD MY TO PRESS CHARGES WHICH I HAVE DONE

This Yank hasn't been to The Grapes since 1983 (ratings based on memory). I assume the sheet metal "horse trough" in the gents no longer remains. Loved that feature, as I did the entire Grapes atmosphere. Won a bottle of vodka in a raffle the pub sponsored.

The actual pub itself is great but I found a particular member of staff extremely rude I could understand if I was a drunk or disruptive customer a huge customer and staff relationship is needed especially with her… the so called friendly welcome wasn’t present here .

Really enjoyed the reasonably priced drinks and Karaoke.

Friendly Advice For Drinkers Thinking Of Frequenting Matthew Street Grapes Pub In Liverpool... DON'T DO IT! That Is If You Don't Want Ripped Off By Their Excessive OTT Prices!

Fabulous pub, great beer friendly staff and great music, a lot of history in this place.

Absolutely great atmosphere and good company, after stumbling in randomly on our way to the cavern club we ended up staying here all night! Will definitely be visiting again next time we go to Liverpool

Great bar in Matthew Street. Liverpool. Michael from Limerick and Audrey from Gorton Manchester. But we live in Limerick Ireland. A joint 60 birthday. 9 months between us. We had a great time

Friendly pub on mathew street, drinks specials on e.g. £2.60 a pint

Great pub perfect for a drink in the afternoon

Good atmosphere, but terrible service, mistreated employee yells at customers, even though she was consuming, my friend was kicked out of the place screaming by a manager who doesn't even have any politeness, it was stupid. I don't recommend anyone to go. And seeing reviews isn't the first time, it's normal for the establishment to mistreat customers.

The service and workers is not good, they are rude with the clients, if you don’t want to pass a bad time don’t go there

I received extremely poor service from the manager. I'm an exchange student and I was celebrating the end of my course. Even after I bought my drink, he insisted that I wasn't drinking it and kicked me out of the place, one more time. Yelling. Several people saw it and helped me. More or less, 20 people left the establishment with me, it was so absurd. Really unacceptable. This man cannot work with the public under any circumstances.

It's a terrible place, they kicked me and my friends out. Don't go if you don't want to suffer bad treatment from the people who work there.

terrible, totally disrespectful and rude to those who were at the bar having fun should educate employees better

Fantastic pub on Mathew Street, great atmosphere.

Fun atmosphere, with karaoke instead of live music.

Great place at the heart of Mathew street .Many customers with mega Characters pass through .Geat for people watching !! Beer selection and Prices good ! The place could do with a refit in the toilet area .The security do a good job keeping people outside from having glass ware .Karoke is a hit with many people .some better singers than others .

Brilliant pub. Great entertainment. Staff are amazing. Very welcoming

Rude waitress, worst gin tonic ever.

The pub that the Beatles would sit in before and after playing at the cavern bar

Great bar, but music way too loud.

Great place for a beer! There’s no food but the staff is friendly! Now there is an offer, pint 2,60 until 5pm (Monday to Thursday). And you can sit where the Beatles used to sit!

This was a Monday night, a brilliant local singer.

16.80£ for two pints of english ale sounds like a scam. It means 8.40£ per pint, kinda Dubai prices...

Great pub, crackin atmosphere, very friendly staff and clientele

Great atmosphere great people fun karaoke Jonestown builders

Rude Staff working behind the bar

Well worth a visit good crowd good singers.

I only popped in for a pint at midday. whilst on a visit to the city. Was quiet and relaxing. The irish girl who served me was disinterested with the clientele but that's OK, no problem

‘Once favoured by the Beatles’ but now had all the character ripped out and looks like every other pub chain pub in the uk. What a shame. It used to have soul. Some of the older reviews on here show how it used to be. Such a shame.

First time in this bar and what a fabulous place ,the guy singing yesterday, 31st March had an outstanding voice and the guy who did the drag act too ,was brilliant Amazing atmosphere and half price prosecco till 6 Will definitely be back when we next visit Liverpool

Amazing place. An old-fashioned Jukebox playing Beatles music 🎶 🎵 👌

Lively traditional pub with a great atmosphere. Gets packed especially of a weekend!

I had yet another bad experience again here after getting hit in the face last time by a lady that claimed she was the manager. They told me they sorted it but then I had another bad experience. The bartender was very rude and I had to keep pointing at the drink I wanted. She went over by my table, I don't know what she did, maybe dancing,maybe had a few beers herself? All the customers were looking at her like she was crazy. Not very professional. Not my favourite place. Going to stop being a regular as it's a bit of a dodgy place in my opinion. Just need to make sure staff is not under the influence. This is a major concern in my opinion.

Late night in Liverpool, karaoke bar! Drinks were a decent price compared to some places, there is always karaoke available or music playing. The toilets were clean, which is always a bonus. The floor was sticky though from spilt drinks. All in all not a bad place to visit as part of a night out

Perfect for getting into the Beatles mood with the sound of a jukebox. Happy hour at the top

Very friendly staff and a good atmosphere 🙂

Staff are always so polite in this pub, extremely welcoming.

Good little spot for karaoke. Don't have many options for wine or beers. Has a good atmosphere any day of the week

Great atmosphere, brill karaoke

Great atmosphere here on a normal Sunday afternoon

Lovely little boozer, only one ale on, but it's good. Staff are excellent. The regulars talk to you. I'm definitely going there the next time I'm in Liverpool.

Went in there today which was a Friday, they had a A Board out side saying £2.50!a pint of fosters when I order a pint they charged me £4.90 a pint for a rubbish flat pint of Fosters in a very shabby smelly Matthew st Pub, the pub manager said the offer is Monday till Thursday so asked why was the A board out on a Friday !! Rip off say away 🤔

It's always been a great boozer but it's gone expensive now. Sorry but it has

Karaoke venue in Liverpool. Rammed on a bouncing Saturday evening

The Live singer was great.. made the pub a very busy place

Nos encantó!! El ambiente es muy acogedor. Tiene una máquina de discos q funciona con monedas, que te transporta en el tiempo. Sencillamente perfecto

We received a very warm welcome on our vist. would recommend people to visit

Great atmosphere, nearly always a singer on. Good times

Fantastic, love Liverpool and the grapes. It's raining in Manchester.

Great atmosphere and a plethora of people from all over the globe all shapes fit in this pub, lively and sociable great service

Visited Xmas eve, place was packed, bar staff deserve a particular mention none stop grafters, proper pub in my opinion, beer good and reasonable priced, not usually a fan of Karaoke but was done well good laugh not to serious, well done definitely a must on a Liverpool night out 👍

Spent Christmas Eve here - was looking for a PARTY and we definitely found one! AMAZING atmosphere, friendly staff and punters. Everyone welcome - age and gender. Some great karaoke and not so great but it didn’t matter! Everyone just up for the craic! Some interesting music choices which added to the charm! Love Liverpool. ❤️ Merry Christmas 🤶 🎄⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Now this place is a must if you want to feel the true atmosphere of Liverpool, i went here on the works night out everyone was singing dancing and having fun .

One of the best and most historic pubs in Liverpool. The building itself it worth a visit even if you don't fancy a drink. Staff are friendly and willing to help.

Had a nice chat landlady will definitely call in again

Been a few times, always a great atmosphere. Bar staff are lovely.

Typical pub, always a good atmosphere, gets very busy from early evening

Monday night kareoke until 2.00 am. If you're looking for a place to let your curls down here it is. On Mathew street as well the home of the Beatles

They gave me far too much whiskey and then stole my memory other than that a great aul pub with lovely staff

Stopped of here initially for one drink while a group of us decided where to eat while staying in Liverpool and what a gem of a pub great atmosphere friendly staff and great banter with the regulars and this was on a Monday night , so we can imagine what the weekend atmosphere must be like a must for anyone , and you must sit in the most famous seats in Liverpool , will let you find out why .....

Wonderful bar, the best in Liverpool due to the staff, customers, and great prices compared to other pubs in the area.

Can't say enough the laughs and the karaoke are amazing x

What can I say about The Grape what an amazing place to have a drink, laugh, dance and a little sing song. Staff and the people made you feel very welcome. All so friendly. Highly recommend for a good night out. Thank you Sharon and staff for making me feel welcomed. First time there and to Liverpool too. Can’t wait to see you all again. Danielle 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Good old fashioned pub with lively atmosphere. For a venue in a busy tourist area prices are kept very reasonable and as a UK native,although not from Liverpool, it's so nice to think our international visitors are not getting ripped off as so often happens in other places.

Historical as The Beatles used to hang out there....

Very friendly staff and really good craic

We popped in for a couples of drinks had a great time singer was great and we didn't want to leave

Brilliant bar very cheap in the day entertainment at night go and sit where the beatles sat 😀

Great as always entertaining and meet lovely people

Always have a great time at the Grapes when in town ,best pub on Mathew St .

Only popped in for one, ended up leaving at 2am. Everyone was very friendly. Will definitely go back on my next visit to Liverpool

Historical pub, linked to The Cavern Club.

Superb after EL game (liv-usg). Loved it

Great terrace to sit and watch the world go by

Nice and friendly place to have a drink

Good for a karaoke night out in a group.

Great Livepool bar, full of character and characters.. if you cant enjoy yourself in this place you may as well go home..!!!

Had a pint, didn't eat. Quick pitstop - some terrible karaoke 🎤 going on....lol.

Great traditional pub on Mathew street. good bar staff and always interesting punters to see and talk to

Just got a beer and it was finally served. Live music. Karaoke.

This, I know is a place of history, a shrine to all Beatles and Mersey music lovers. I first visited Liverpool, from Leeds on the death of John Lennon in 1980, yet after many visits, this is the first time I have set foot in the 'hallowed' bar, The Grapes. We were a party of four, simply calling in for a respectful quick drink on Mon 14th Aug in the afternoon. Mathew Street outside was its busy self, yet in The Grapes it was relatively quiet with the expected pop music playing in the background, and just a few other drinkers inside. It felt good to be in this revered place at last, and one could feel the energy that the building held, that all music lovers would respect and understand. I thank Liverpool for keeping such places, as it is more genuine than the Cavern Club and the current Mathew Street that the pub sits on. When I first visited the site of Cavern Walks and the Club, was but a run down car park and back street, nothing more. It is since then that the glitz, we now see, of Mathew Street has been built upon. To me, as a Beatles fan, The Grapes is one of the real, true places to visit on any tour of Liverpool. Thank you.

Far too expensive on Mathew Street, this is the reason we won't be back

The only original pub in Mathew's Street Liverpool because every other pub club is new the cavern because the cavern is not the original cavern the original cavern got nocked down to make room for Liverpool underground train systems and rebuilt in the 1980's show if you want to go in a pub in Mathew Street we're all the groups from the 50's and 60's it this one .. the staff are second to none and great to get on with AND IF YOUR UNDER AGE THEY WILL SEVER YOU THEY SEVER ANY ONE UNDER AGE OK Iv been managing this pub for 3 years and they do more business saving under age drinkers so if your not older another to drink go here for a drink ok

1st visit, lovely pub and nice bar staff.

Dj karaoke guy superb ..drink prices a absolute joke same order changed by 10 pounds in space of a hour at night then back down then back up work that one out

Staff are great. Hard working and help create a fabulous atmosphere on weekends. Great entertainment too. Dominic Basnett is a must see!!

The grape's was buzzing! Everyone enjoying there selves, with a good choice of beers 😜

Not been in here for years, but on an early rainy Saturday night the place was busy and people were having fun on the kareoke. A Matthew St stalwart. Still smells of drains tho!

Great pub friendly atmosphere. Karaoke is always fun to watch

The best place to have fun in Liverpool. Great atmosphere, excellent people. Great karaoke.
