The Market Tavern in St. Helens

Good value for money and good 🍺

What a pub! I have been in many pubs in St Helens but this one beat them all! Amazing and friendly staff! Quick and fast service! Cheap prices but quality drinks! What’s not to love! It come across as an old people pub but it sure isn’t! Fabulous entertainment and a place for all ages to enjoy themselves! Will be going back very soon.

Good atmosphere on a Wednesday a good turn is on and ale is cheap. .Nice way to spend an afternoon.

Always a great atmosphere. And that's stayed consistent for as long as I've been going (9+ Years). Staff are always friendly and the beer garden at the back is well kept!

Great place to go to watch sport on tv singer on sundays and cheap beers

Good atmosphere cheap drinks singer on sunday

Didn't eat but did drink pints at £2.50 so that's even cheaper than spoons!!

Great staff, good pint of fosters £2.50 and entertainment Wednesday and Sunday. Food is ok if you like Crisps and nuts 😁

Centre of town pub so convenient to pop in if shopping. Prices really good, plenty of tvs and great if you love your sport. More of a passing pub for one or two pints for me, rather than somewhere I'd stay for a long period. It is what it is, and does a good trade.

Friendly staff probably nice in the dark

Cheap and good service 👌 (no food)

Great entertainment on a Wednesday afternoon

Nice, cheerful public house. Good selection of beers, wines, ciders.

Good pint at 2.50 , and good service at the bar

Fantastic staff great night out could not fault the place. Very welcoming. 10 out of 10. Well worth a visit.

Great atmosphere and pint .. staff well mannered too and make you felt welcome

Cheap ale, friendly bar staff and the odd drunk staggering across the non-designated dance floor, but enough of my partner. The ale is cheap therefore no complaints on that although on odd occasions the bar staff are non-existent (from 3 or 4 to zero). I suppose I shouldn't have sold them the knock-off vanishing cream. Visited the pub on Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday and Friday. Always plenty in and a good atmosphere although some of the singers could do with entering BGT so that they could get the four red buzzers they deserve. Occasionally there is a saxophonist playing who belts out 2 or 3 tunes and then finishes. Pity really as he is quite good. Overall a pub that is recommended.

Ordered a pint at the bar started pouring the pint the barrel ran out so had to change it. After about 10 minutes waiting she topped up the stale flat pint I asked for a fresh pint she refused.

Nice Pub, All the Sports Channels and Good Beer.

Good town centre pub. Great Karaoke on Sunday.👍

Great atmosphere great people Great pub

Hands down, best pub in St Helens

Great town centre pub, friendly atmosphere and great beers at very reasonable prices.

Cracking pub with a great atmosphere cheap booze probably why it's very busy at times. Staff are friendly and helpful also

We live in Hartsbourne Ave, Childwall and love going out to St Helen's to the pub, it's reasonably and they have the horse racing on.

Good pub, atmosphere is chilled and the staff are helpful good experience all-around

Alcohol was good and nice place only shame I got kicked out for standing near the fire exit

Great pub loads of space, a good jukebox and a large beer garden. Did smell a bit the last time I went in though I think the toilets need a thorough clean you could smell them throughout the pub

Great beer and all your sport want to watch Great staff and well run ,no idiots allowed in

Nice place to meet up for a pint

Nice pub if you like sports on every television and the price is good and it's clean

Brilliant . Liverpool beat the mancs 5-0 . Best place for the footy 👌

Very friendly staff, good prices, nice place

Excellent venue, friendly staff and always a lively atmosphere. Not been here much myself but on the few occassions i have its always been enjoyable.

Great little pub. I used to drink there 50 years ago when the interior comprised 5 or 6 smal rooms that seated 8 people. Great atmosphere, great beer,including a few cask ale pumps, and friendly and efficient staff

Better experience than a previous visit. Clean and tidy with plenty of screens if watching sport.

This is my favourite place to watch the football. A recent refurb has refreshed the decor but yet managed to retain that classic pub feel. They have sky sports and bt sport and as well as the football they have horse racing, rugby, cricket and any other sport you can think of showing. There are ample screens so that you can watch from anywhere in the pub. Decent sized outdoor seating area with an anti-glare screen so you don't miss a beat. Great prices although not a wide variety of beers. Cards accepted as payment. They do not currently serve food.

Great pub great staff love going here

Really cheap in St Helens Town Centre for a pint. Really fast service

Bar maid didn't wash her hands ,didn't use soap or water, didn't use the dryer , I even mentioned it to the bar man ,some woman came over and argued with me, in front of other customers, not a thing that should be done , was very disappointed.

Great pub, perfect to get together with friends & watch the rugby

Good afternoon nice friendly staff always 😊

Not as cheap as other pubs but great atmosphere!

Foods can be nice but at times it seems like they've rushed your food.

Drinks are not sharp like in other pubs

Good service decent beer at the right price

Cheapest and nicest Pint in St. Helens town centre. Get on them !

A large establishment which is very well presented, the drinks are very reasonably priced, toilets are immaculate, it has a quite large beer garden/smoking area to the rear. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed.

Good atmosphere, always busy with a mix of different age groups. Good range of drinks available and reasonable prices.

Dirt cheap prices and a decent pint , also has sports on can't go wrong

New landlady is rude arrogant and obnoxious I've been visiting this pub for many years now I class it has my local but I can see come February it will be closed the new landlady is running it to the ground

We gigged here tonight, fabulous venue and a vert appreciating audience. Can't wait for our return in December. Frankel.

Big pub in the town centre, comes across as an old man/bookie/rough pub. Not the case I don’t think. Cheap ale, nice comfortable pub and salt of the earth people. Big screens for football, but speakers on loud. Sat near one and you can’t eat yourself think. Pleasant staff and never a wait to get served. Shame no food, but does every pub need to serve food ? Food attracts kids treading peas in the carpet. No of that here, so if you fancy a peaceful nice pint treat yourself to an hour or two here.

This is nice big pub cheap beer great for sport staff brilliant

decent selection of beers ales bottled beers ..very decent value as well.

Nice place to have a quiet drink!

It's just a normal pub like every other normal pub why asking stupid questions

Great place, top artists and cheap ale

Lots of seating reasonable prices friendly staff

A group of friends, we meet up for a few beers and a good chat every week. Beers are usually good and cheap £2.15 for John Smiths or Carlsberg...!!! Can't beet that..!! Unfortunately the Carlsberg pump has been replaced with a fancy Italian lager for about 3 quid. But a week later we then have Heineken, a reasonable replacement you would suggest? Unfortunately the pint of Heineken is £2.90 not quite the £2.15 price it replaced...!!! Who would pay that when Kronenberg is only £2.49...??? Expecting more price hikes in the coming weeks - sad really as loyal regular customers will drift off to other places. Hope they read this and abandon the strategy of ever increasing profit margins and ignoring the regular clients.

Market tavern on bridge street in st.helens is a great place for a night out on a wk end, or for a drink after shopping. Worth a try on a wed and sun afternoon as well. Live entertainment.

Good atmosphere great for sports

Good company good beer reasonable prices

Good friendly atmosphere, great staff and very reasonable priced drinks, great bar

Nice friendly staff very clean oub

Eric barlass our good friend passed away last night he loved coming to this pub had some many friends and memories want everyone to raise there glass For him what an amazing man he was ❤️❤️❤️

This pub is a good afternoon drinking den.....good sorts coverage on the big screens about the place...friendly staff..!

Poor service unless your face fits or you're one of the 'gang' in the corner opposite the bar. Pity because the real ales decent. Never mind there's more pubs about without the clique! 10 minutes waiting whilst others walk up to the bar and get served immediately does it for me. Bye bye!

Called last Saturday night for a few with wife. I like "cask ale" and this is usually reliable. Not this time, only one cask out of 3 pumps and not to my taste, not right for a Saturday night. Carried on with Newcastle Brown and raised a glass to Dad. Good service clean areas and pleasant staff, I will not give up on here yet
