The Shipping Forecast in Liverpool

They where very rude because we accidentally dropped a glass. Very unprofessional

Bit of a dive, bar staff have major attitude issues.

The Shipping Forecast is a great little pub in the Rope Walks area of Liverpool. Nice atmosphere and good food. Good selection of drinks.

Great atmosphere and service. Food was lovely too

Chelsea was absolutely lovely( sorry if i spelt that wrong !!) , she was so considerate and accommodating for everyone in the group. SUCH good value for money!! would 10/10 do again! x

Chelsea was very friendly, great service

Visited for the quiz night. excellent atmosphere and staff were amazing. It was busy but staff found time to joke and chat to you as they were serving they really made you feel welcome. I would deff visit again and would highly recommend.

Nice pub,plenty of history too.

The food was great, the atmosphere was good, and I would definitely go back again 😋

Didn’t think this place would have a great Guinness, but Matt was an actual superstar, unbelievable service and a shamrock in the top! Merry Christmas folks, get yourselves in here! The singer was so good aswell!

Great place and atmosphere. Bella provided great service too!

Did the light bites and flights Great service especially from Bella, Great value for money and a good laugh

Bella was an amazing server and a fabulous person. Will definitely come back again xx

A lovely pub in the middle of Liverpool. There are lots of nice ale / ciders / lagers on tap and the bar staff were friendly (they also know how to pour a Guinness). We were a table of 11 and were looked after so well by the staff, particularly Bella, she was fantastic, so friendly and happy. If you are in the area pop in for some nice food, friendly faces and a mixed grill.

I’ve never been to anywhere this cool, got class service from Bella! Proper cool dart rooms. Great night out for the lads!

Great service. Bella was outstanding

Really enjoyed the darts, the team were so helpful and the food was amazing. We had the small plates to eat and it was perfect to share

Service was great, Katie was sick!

Great food and friendly staff. Highly recommend!

Had a really great time at the Shipping forecast. Really lovely place. Was served by three amazing staff members Chloe, Katie and Nathan :)

El servicio aquí siempre va por encima de las expectativas, y la comida y las bebidas se parecen a las imágenes! Recomiendo encarecidamente visitar en un jueves por la noche para el concurso! Divertido y lleno de compañeros!

Great live music on Friday and Saturdays. Brilliant food, brilliant service!

Friendly staff, fast service & great food. Recommended.

A great place for a drink. We were served by Oliver who was very knowledgeable and kind. Will be going again!

Great atmosphere and staff, cheap deals for students, chloe, kate and Nathan set the vibe 👌

Nathan - legend, cracking boozer

Nice food and great service! 100% recommend

Alex was top notch. Loved it. Will definitely be back.

Loved the darts! Alex gave us great service checking in and keeping us topped up with drinks!

The staff are brilliant (Chelsea). The atmosphere is lovely and the drinks are properly made. I could sit here for hours and hours on end it is such a lovely place with a chilled vibe. 11/10.

Bouncer decided that French ID was not a proof of ID, needed an English ID or passport. Not something I ever experienced in this country and very disappointed of where it’s going.

It’s brilliant. The staff have to deal with so much nonsense from people but they do It with so much class and decorum it’s admirable, especially the one they call Chelsea she is a star ⭐️, she handles the bar brilliantly. Would 110% come again.

The buffet was good and the darts games were nice; however, the only thing really disappointing was one of the staff girls. She was really rude and disrespectful. She definitely will need some customer service training as we felt really unwelcome. I regret not asking to speak with the manager.

Once a go-to spot in Liverpool’s bar scene, The Shipping Forecast has now become a shadow of its former self. Established around 2008 (correct me if I'm wrong), it was buzzing back then, but with the drinking scene in Liverpool now stepping up its game, this place hasn’t really kept up. The venue still offers that 'authentic' vibe with exposed steel and brickwork, but let’s be honest—it’s just a recycled trend that doesn’t bring anything new to the table. Venue: The place still has the industrial look that seemed trendy years ago. Exposed steel and brickwork try to sell an ‘authentic’ vibe, but it feels more like a generic checklist of what a cool bar should look like. It was once a standout, but now it’s just another spot in the mix. Atmosphere: The atmosphere has lost its edge. It used to be lively, but now it feels a bit stagnant. The crowd can still be decent, but it’s not as buzzing as it once was. The music and overall vibe just don’t hold up to some of the newer spots around Liverpool. Service: Nothing special here. The service is alright, but it doesn’t wow you. It’s the usual pub/bar experience—fine, but forgettable. Drinks: The drinks are okay, but there’s nothing that makes this place stand out anymore. It’s the same old menu, and while the beers are decent, there’s nothing innovative. It needs to step up its game to compete with the better venues that are popping up around town.

Simple burgers. Best I have ever tasted. Staff friendly and efficient. Wednesday speed quiz fun.

Warm ambient pub that serves meals in the centre of Liverpool. Food was lovely, well decorated with Christmas cheer. Friendly staff. Well recommended

Friendly atmosphere. Usually always pop in for one here when I’m in Liverpool

Friendly staff. Nice space. Went for a coffee midday and to do some work. Great for that. Retuned very late at night but kitchen was closed. Friendly late night door staff - would have gone in if food was available. Definitely want to visit again

Nate and Caitlin have been brilliant bartenders tonight!

Nate and Caitlin are the best bartenders in the whole entire world

Nate and Caitlin were excellent great experience and great darts.

served by chloe, matt, katie, jason and mike. oh my word, what a team. i think these people single handedly changed my life through a pint of madri and a smile. if you want to experience otherworldly customer service, this is the place. i cannot recommend these guys enough. An absolute credit to the hospitality industry. wow…

Excellent service by Chelsea after an initial mixup with the booking system. Good choice of games for the bottomless darts and enjoyed it.
