The Railway Inn in Wirral

Having not been to the railway for around a year, I decided to go for a drink on Saturday night with my partner. The girl got us our drinks but although I had asked for no ice she filled the glass with ice and bicardi then had to throw it away when she realised. The music was loud and more kids rap music which does not appeal to me, the televisions all had sport on and we ended up sitting outside to talk. However if it had just been not my type of place then that's fine but it was 9pm on a Saturday night and there was only about 6 people in there. I won't be going again. It used to be a fun local place to enjoy but it's obviously not now.

My opinion has changed about this pub. Very cliquey!! Twice I've been in and not been served. I'm not abusive to the staff. My face just does not fit. My nearly 8 years as a loyal customer has come to an end

Traditional pub, love visiting, it's so comfortable and the staff lovely. The atmosphere is always good, and we always feel welcome x

Good old fashioned style of pub as such. The service was very friendly and inviting. A perfect drinking place.

Lovely little pub with great atmosphere 👌

Not a regular but we are local. Walked in , got seved with a good pint of San Miguel. Bar staff friendly and a great pub. Not been in there in over 20 years but will be back as all our other locals have gone down hill. Good job Railway Inn.five stars 🌟

Great little pub with lots of live sports and very friendly staff

Just had a quick look on here and saw our local. Slating reviews. Shocked. We have always been treated well with a warm welcome. Off there tonight in fact. Never have I witnessed any of the problems in any of the reviews previous. Lovely pub and staff

Love the railway. Lovely friendle owners and nice staff. A friendly pub to drink in.

Bright 🔆 and friendly atmosphere.

Awesome pub, great barmaids, and Colin sharing sausage rolls at half time watching the footy 👌

Great pub,great staff,great people 👍

Quaint little pub. Great staff

Nothing to shout about and over priced for the area.

This pub is a great drinking pub,great staff.best pub in the village,its a shame this pub is not in the centre of the village.

Very busy tables were reserved had to ask to sit there as the reservation was an hour away took ages to get served

Great friendly and cosy pub run by Colin who goes that extra to make you feel welcome ! Brilliant pub be bck soon

Always a good night with Colin and his team

Travel up from midland vist family for meal dirty knives and fork dirty glass blame dishwasher. Ask steak salad no salad stuff end up mixed grill ask butter wait 10 minutes for butter ask for mustard no mustard very rude staff won't vist again

The staff in the pub are the rudest people I’ve ever encountered - if you come to visit Port Sunlight don’t visit this place - you’d be hard pressed to find a more unfriendly place.

Love this pub fantastic reception fantastic owners and staff would recommend highly as atmosphere is Brilliant all the time reasonably priced great local

Good pub but been to the Kings better atmosphere and a £1 and a better pint of cider

Always a good welcome in the Railway, a friendly place with a good atmosphere. Staff always happy and service with a smile ☺

Lively bar much bigger than expected inside

Great friendly atmosphere and quick service.

I went here on the weekend with my pals and it was full of raging coke heads and the blonde lady was disgusting the pub stunk and they look at you like you have two heads if your not a regular

The Railway is a fabulous pub and run by a lovely, friendly, genuine couple. All the bar staff are great and experienced. Prices are extremely reasonable compared with nearest pub The Wellington and offer a great variety of drinks. Some entertainment at the weekends.

Nice small pub. Good pour. Rustic atmosphere. Staff will serve the regulars before you however.

Full of Liverpool supporters nit my cup of tea beer was on par though lol

Down to earth pub, very friendly, ale good, genial landlord, could do with redecoration, like me.

I am writing this review 11th March 2021 so obviously this pub has been closed for a long time. Personally I can't wait for it to reopen as it's such a community pub the people who run this pub are so amazing even while the pub has been shut due to Covid they have still decorated it to brighten people's day so Christmas, Valentine's and now Easter. I know there's some bad reviews on here but they're the most lovely couple ever, they cook and deliver so many roast dinners on a Sunday to old people in the Village and would do anything to help. I love the place and can't wait for it to reopen

My local pub and the only one I will go to. More like family. Colin and Lynne the licensees have been amazing through Covid making sure we are safe. Atmosphere is great. Bar staff great. Highly recommended...

Rude arrogant owners. No control of customers who drink outside, shouting,swearing throwing the cigarette ends in the street. Loud music, crap karaoke. Owners opened the pub during lockdown even though they had a big NHS rainbow stating their support, what a mockery.. needs putting out of business

Great atmosphere great staff well organised

Lovely friendly staff, great atmosphere

My self and a group of friends entered and was greeted by an angry blonde and her friends, saying cant you see the sign you have to sign in, we didn't realise about signing in she was very rude with a bad attitude the little man's attitude was bad, I find it very hypocritical that they had the audacity come down hard on us about a signature when they got caught open and serving customers during lockdown when the pub should have been closed, horrible hospitality

I've been a regular visitor to the Railway for many years. The owners and staff are brilliant and the regulars are friendly and welcoming. We have all had to endure some horrible times recently and still have to adhere to unusual rules and regulations. Colin and Lyn have made it as safe for their customers as they can. Good beer and very reasonable. Well worth a visit

Great pub great people nice friendly atmosphere recommend it to everyone

Disgraceful. You should be ashamed

Well run, decent ale. Always friendly

Great bar , atmosphere is amazing for liverpool v altletico madrid.

Lovely local pub, it's small but cosy and friendly always has a welcoming atmosphere

Quite friendly pub , beer cold , all sports or music on through the day and night 👍👍👍

Loverly frendly pub like sitting in your living rroom

Great little boozer, just beer and football

Enjoy this little pub but find the lady owner very rude and un welcoming....2instances the last 2times weve been...wont bother anymore...leave her to her click

Very nice pub staff are friendly good service

We arrived at the railway to start our Xmas festivity’s only to be left absolutely disheartened. We arrived to a very busy pub, everyone out to celebrate Christmas and also Liverpool playing, we noticed that the female owner was sat in the corner with her group of followers, whilst her husband and young team of staff were run ragged. Whilst there there was a spillage on the floor, the female manager pointed at a young member of her team and said ‘clean that up’ he preceded to throw down a piece of kitchen towel. A member of or party proceeded to use his foot to wipe up the spill rather than drag the young member of staff away from a busy bar. The female manager then turned nasty and said ‘How dare you tell my staff what to do’ we were all left shell shocked by what we had witnessed and heard, what gives management the right to speak to young members of staff like that in front of customers. We will not be returning to this pub and strongly advise anyone who has principles to do the same!!!

Use to bey local 38 years ago. I was nice to go back very friendly.

Great little local with very friendly owners

Just needed to use to loo, didn't mind paying, but got betrayed by the staff who declared us to be rude and inappropriate. Looks nice enough inside, despite the staff. Wouldn't rule the place out based on our experience as it was quite late on and we have always seen the place busy nonetheless, disappointed.

Very poor experience with the staffs attitude.

To expensive drinks . But staff lovely and friendly..tks

Great staff very switched on. Wine bit pricey

Friendly local pub. Comfortable surroundings and top choice of drinks available. Friendly owners and staff.

Great Saturday night entertainment

Super obsługa i miłe miejsce .karaoke i mili ludzie lubiący bawić się z klasą

Ace pub and by far the best in the area

Really nice friendly pub landlord is doing a very good job xx

Excellant busy very friendly family pub

cosy little pup handy for pre drinks befor going to liverpool for night out.bebington station right close.drinks very reasonable

Lovely little place right by the railway station. Staff are very friendly .Such a shame you can't use your card as we didn't bring a lot of cash out with us.not many pubs that are cash only

Excellent venue, helpful staff but could do with more choice of real ale

Lovely staff and very welcoming

What can I say about the railway. Great hosts in lyn and Colin. .....always welcoming. Warm, comfortable, friendly staff. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

There Saturday enjoyed it nice atmosphere.

Terrific local pub run by the hardest working landlords in town. Regular bands, theme nights & events to keep the locals entertained plus decent prices for their drinks.

it sounds bizarre to go to a pub for tea or coffee but they encourage people in with this during the day, and the interior is always pretty

Had a lovely evening in this pub. We were made to feel really welcome. The bar staff were excellent the tables cleared efficiently. Never been before but will undoubtedly be visiting again. As the designated driver it was great that tea and coffee were available. The landlord was very pleasant and friendly.

Been to this pub a few times recently, and as we don’t like drinking in New Ferry we thought this would be a nice pub to drink in. It is very clicky, but we keep ourselves to ourselves so weren’t bothered. Saturday night we went out last minute with friends, another couple. The taxi arrived quickly at home, so I hadn’t finished my drink. I poured into a plastic beaker and drank it in taxi. There was a very aggressive little man collecting glasses outside the pub when we pulled up. He said “do me a favour, don’t bring that glass inside”, so I said “ok, no problem”. He then said “in fact, you’ve stolen that glass from somewhere else so you will steal from me, don’t bother coming in”. I was literally gobsmacked!! What a nice man. Clearly got a chip on his shoulder. We just walked straight past the pub and will never go there again. It was a plastic beaker to start with not a glass. What kind of person steals glasses from a pub that hundreds of strangers have drank out of? Also what kind of pub doesn’t take cards?? And when is it ever acceptable to speak to people like that? You do get stared at in there too, there is a man who stands propping the bar up every time we’ve been in there just staring.

Can not believe we were refused service in The Railway Inn Bebington. After buying a couple of rounds we had a group photo which John thought it would be funny to step behind the bar as he couldn't get in The picture. Ridiculously the bar staff decided they would no longer serve anyone in our group? The Manager was called over and he said he stood by his bar staff (understandable without the full story) his staff told him they felt threatened and intimidated by John as he stepped over the bar threshold. We tried to explain what happened and then produced the photograph. Wow, no staff being intimidated or threatened. When he saw it and realised there wasn't really any reason for their attitude he told me he didn't know our faces and didn't need our business? Oh and also I had no idea what I was talking about and didn't understand the bar was a no go area? I told him I come from a family of publicans and was brought up serving behind bars. How narrow minded for a manager? Just rude!

After a recent night in this pub I was left in no doubt that “The lunatics are in charge of the asylum “I had a discussion with the manager about the fact that I had walked behind the bar to do a photo bomb although I did apologise and respected his position but it was just for a laugh and I didn’t touch anything Then it all went wrong is when he lied to me by telling me his staff had felt threatened by my actions as they were both alongside me behind the bar. For some reason he couldn’t explain the absence of his threatened staff when I produced the photo! When a person that is supposed to lead staff tries to win an argument with lies then I seriously question his management skills

First time we had been to The Railway

This typically English pub is great to drop into, if you’ve grown tired of wandering aimlessly round ALDI, over the road! Staff are friendly and very accommodating. They also pay a lot of attention to detail with the decorating and since it’s Hallowe’en coming up, I’m sure we will find ourselves popping in there on our way to Indyah Restsurant round the corner!

Estado de la zona durante años, pero para visitar a unos parientes y decidimos salir de noche. El personal del bar era absolutamente fantástico, pero ojo - no causará daños en toda la noche por casera, que en mi opinión me hizo sentir incómoda y no es muy acogedor, quizás porque ella no me reconociera como local. Si no fuera por casera, el personal del bar, ambiente, etc., tendría 5

been going here for a long time and it has always been the same great little pub with friends or just a quick few after work

total dump if i cud rate it outta ten i'd - 10.. there are far more inviting bars round the area, felt unwanted with the locals, and didnt feel welcome with the staff at all

Situado en una buena ubicación entre Port Sunlight y Bebington estación de tren. Propietarios Colin y Lynne son unos anfitriones estupendos y siempre tan acogedor. Va todo a Colin celebrar cada ocasión y realmente hace un esfuerzo para decorar el pub, que es increíble. Siempre un buen ambiente y yo acabamos de volver. Ahora la clase ya que mi local aunque tengo que pasar al menos 4 bares para llegar! . No sirven comida pero hay patatas fritas y frutos secos y una pequeña selección de sandwiches en una nevera en el bar. Lo recomiendo sin duda.

A really weird pub with weird customers and weird staff, weird décor and slightly uncomfortable feel to it. Definitely a local pub for locals as stared at and unwelcoming.

Precioso hotel con un personal acogedor y muestra cambiar temporada o evento por el propietario. Gran parada si visitan Port Sunlight

Friendly pub, great owners, fab staff......old style customer service. close to railway station. Port sunlight village is a beautiful part of the wirral. It's a bit like "cheers".....

I've been in here a few times, although I avoid it Friday and Saturday nights because the noise level is extremely loud and the men outside are unnerving, but its good inside for drink! Id recommend it

This is my local so I'm biased. But it's my local because it's a great pub. They have frequent entertainment on the weekends and always go the extra mile to decorate the pub depending on what time of year it is. The beer is great and even better are the prices, which are consistently better than anywhere else. There's nowhere better in the area.
