The Ye Hole In Ye Wall Pub in Liverpool

The oldest pub in Liverpool we'll worth a visit

Amazing pub, during my trip to London and Liverpool by far the best of the bunch. Owner was conversational and extremely positive and just loves his job.

One of liverpools hidden gems. Love this pub. Good selection of beers. Nice and cosy

Steve is the real deal. If you don’t come here for a pint you ar missing out!

Only came in for drinks so cannot comment on food. The pub was fantastic, a proper traditional pub with a good atmosphere . The staff were brilliant. Will definitely be calling back.

Only in the door 2 mins and the warmth of this place poured over me ..Steve the owner proudly prepared me an award winning pint of creamy Guinness (certificate inside the door as proof ) and gave me a brief history of how he became the owner of Liverpools oldest pub (300 years old in 2024)A superb pub with lots of atmosphere and charm and a must see and do if your visiting Liverpool...10/10

My wife took our granddaughter to the theatre so I had a walk to find a pub I dropped on this absolute gem , Steven entertained from the start & made me feel as though I’d been a local for years . The staff were lovely & very informative about the resident ghost 👻👻 Highly recommended is the “special” Guinness 👍👍 on our next trip to Liverpool I will be back for a “ couple “

Nice old style pub exactly how i like them Live entertainment on a Sunday Afternoon

Was in Liverpool for an appointment and called in for a quick drink on the way back to Moorfields train station. It was a few years since I last visited and had forgotten how good it was. We were both hungry and looking for something to eat, but were told they didn't do food but we could order in from the Spanish tapas/sandwich shop next door, which turned out to be excellent. This is a proper pub with a super friendly staff, with Steve the manager and Lisa his daughter, wood and brass in abundance and a good selection of well kept cask ales and perfect Guinness. The place is spotless with table tops that look and feel like they have been scoured and bleached, much better than the sticky sprayed and wiped found in most pubs these days. We had intended to only have one drink, but the atmosphere was so relaxed and friendly that we just had to have another, and were tempted to stay longer but had a train to catch. If you never been to this pub before you are missing out.

One of my favourites pubs in Liverpool is Ye Hole In Ye Wall Pub, its also one of the oldest pubs in Liverpool dating from 1726,its a pub I always enjoy visiting on any trip to Liverpool City Centre I take. The pub itself is superb, a solid wood serving bar dominates the main room, a beautiful fire place, great wall art, eclectic decor and furnishings, stained glass windows, snug rooms and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub both inside and outside looking out onto the busy and bustling Hackins Hey, one of the oldest streets in Liverpool. We were here on a Monday night pub was busy with a great atmosphere, a quick study of their real ale's which is very impressive, in the end we both opted to have pale ale's from Weetwood Brewery, these were served in excellent condition, we chilled out and soaked up the great vibe in this busy and popular pub while we sipped our pale ale's. My pale ale was really good, a crisp, well balanced pale ale, hints of toffee, a delicious aroma and aftertaste with a smooth finish, very easy to drink, its hardly surprising that this pub is so popular with real ale's of this quality. We really enjoyed our pale ale's in here before we moved on and although our visit was only fleeting as on every other visit to Ye Hole In Ye Wall Pub we had a great time. Ye Hole In Ye Wall Pub is easy to locate along Hackins Hey. Opening hours are; Monday to Sunday, open from midday. Well worth checking out if you're in the area .

Lovely old fashioned pub only 5 minutes from madness of Matthew street Has kept it traditional shape with little snugs and features Nice mix of locals and others If you’re around area and fancy a more relaxed pint nice place to pop in

This is the oldest pub in the city. The date on the wall says it's been in business since 1726. So in two years time it will actually be 300 years old. I've heard that this pub is unusual in another way in that the beer cellar is on the first floor. The reason apparently is that it used to be a Quaker cemetery and the pub was built over it. It's a very warm and welcoming place and judging from the atmosphere the locals love this place.

Great old fashioned pub for drinking

What a great pub. The oldest pub in Liverpool! Steve and the staff were great, fantastic selection of both old style and new beers 🍺 in a classic environment. A must for anyone touring Liverpool

Fabulous atmosphere and friendly pub Great place for meeting up with friends.

We took a friend who was visiting from US. Cosy place with a friendly atmosphere.

Nice liitle pub with a big atmosphere 👌🏻

Absolutely love this place. My wife and I always make sure we call in for a couple of drinks when we are out. Fantastic atmosphere, bar team are brilliant and always welcoming. Drinks are great, good choice, and the place is always spotlessly clean. Got to be one of the best pubs in liverpool if not the best.

We spent a pleasant evening in one of Liverpool's historic pubs, the oldest in the city. Your manager is extremely friendly. Totally recommended.

Fantastic little oldi world pub with great atmosphere and reasonably priced drinks,well worth a visit

Absolutely splendid atmosphere, and the staff was very very verry friendly

Such a welcoming place- great people!!! Just so much history and fun… along with a great name- can’t go wrong with a stop for a pint here!

Visited again Thursday 1st August. My favourite pub in Liverpool, friendly staff and great beer. Was really welcomed .Hope to be back soon

Lovely place and lovely friendly people

Nice pub thats almost 300 years old, had live music when i went mid day.

What a wonderful little pub. Everyone was so welcoming and warm. Felt like I was at my neighborhood pub with friends. If you only have time for one pub in Liverpool seek out this gem.

Didn't have food. Young man behind bar was lovely

Pub with a very interesting history. Oldest public house in Liverpool 1726 the same year Liverpool Castle was demolished. Men only pub until 1976.

Had a brunch pint of Guinness here on the 15th July.. very friendly staff and a few Americans there also . Everyone in top form . Old old school pub , I loved it

The host was a very charming gentleman. He made us feel very welcome. We are from Pittsburgh pa. I highly recommend this pub Donald. Our host offered us a plate of sandwiches. Highly recommended

What an amazing lovely pub. As soon as we walked in to this lovely place , Ste who owned the pub introduced himself. Made us feel so welcome. Staff are lovely. Beer great. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you again to Ste x

Was visiting England for the first time and received as such... Was looked at as if i were a stranger and not welcome... Very sad knowing that was the reason I came in the first place. Owner expected us to know what we wanted to order right away.

My wife and I wanted to have a pint at the oldest pub in Liverpool. We didn't expect to be welcomed in like old friends. The owner Stephen and his staff where kind, generous, and funny. This place was one of our highlights of our vacation.

An historic venue with friendly locals and plenty of character.

What an incredible experience! First time in Liverpool and im so happy we stopped off here, for a pint of Guinness! Owner and Lisa gave us incredible service 🫶🏻

Very warm and characterful pub where they allow you to order food from next door's takeaway to consume with your drink Landlord friendly and funny

Loved this little pub. Great service and comfortable seats. Loved the piped music as well.

No food in the oldest pub in Liverpool

Lovely little traditional, old fashion boozer...even has a old fashion telephone booth! The real jewel in the crown here though has to be the people...Steve the landlord...friendly, funny, generous, witty, with an immaculate fashion sense ( very dapper). Lisa, the barmaid....friendly, helpful and great advice on best restaurants etc. We entered among strangers, but left with new friends. Thank you Steve and Lisa...don't ever change.. 2 more for the fan base Diane and Helen xx

Lovely old style pub in the centre of Liverpool, very friendly.

LOVE this place. The beer was great, the atmosphere was great, everyone was incredibly nice. If you get a chance to go, GO.

First time in this pub and definitely won't be the last!

Came up for a visit to Liverpool, first time ever visiting this wonderful city and happened to pass by this little pub while looking for the statue of Billy Fury. We had noticed how friendly everyone in Liverpool and thought we would pop our heads in ‘the oldest pub in Liverpool’ and what a gem it is! It was early afternoon but we were greeted to a warm welcome by the man I can only assume is the owner or manager ‘what can i get you’? and the banter started straight off. This fella is really funny and warm and we were made to feel very welcomed. My boyfriend was the giggle and titter which he got to taste and was then topped back up, you don’t get that down south! Would 💯 pop back in if I’m back In Liverpool. We didn’t eat so can’t rate food but I’m sure if we had eaten it would have been lovely. The toilets are very clean and smelled lovely and the bar was full of interesting things and a fee locals who were all friendly. Wonderful little place.

Old world charm! Nice beer, great atmosphere!

Liverpool's oldest pub. So cozy. Try it.

Busy pub on certain days, great ambience!

We had a sing around there, good beer great atmosphere. Be warned they do close early

A proper pub. Everyone was being warmly welcomed by the owner who we got chatting to for a bit. Great character to match a pub with well kept ales and charming decor. Only had 2 days in Liverpool but came back the 2nd day for more of the same. A bit of history and a touch of class. Great stuff!

Always enjoy this place, good old fashioned liverpool pub.

One of Liverpool's oldest pubs, retaining all the old interior architecture. Good real ale.

I went there for a beer and it was fun. The owner is very welcoming and we immediately started talking. This pub is very cozy and due to its age, it has a unique charm. I've been to pubs in Liverpool quite a few times but this is the best.

I meant to write this months ago, when I visited Liverpool end of September. Hands down my favorite pub in the city. Tucked away on a side street, it's a pleasant place to escape the hustle bustle of the city. Friendly staff pouring great pints, with plenty of locals to talk to. I had the luck of meeting the owner the first day in town, and he gave me a great welcome. Port and Stilton on the house, and a great laugh with the regulars. I've never felt so welcome in a pub. I made sure to go back my next few days in town. Cheers

Still Very nice after all these years

Fantastic Atmosphere Here on a Saturday Night! Packed out but was able to get a Great Seat! Good Selection of Beers Lagers Ciders and Spirits!

Ye Hole In Ye Wall on Hackins Hey is one of the best pubs in the city centre that offer's a superb range of cask ale's and without a doubt the oldest pub in the city centre and is a pub me and my twin brother have been to hundreds of times over the years. Located in Hackins Hey which is one of the original seven street's of Liverpool'this pub is housed in a superb old building that was built over a Quaker burial site'Ye Hole In Ye Wall pub is reputably haunted by a couple of ghost's and given the age of this brilliant pub and it's history it makes sense. The interior of Ye Hole In Ye Wall is brilliant with an excellent multi-roomed interior with many interesting fixtures and features and superb seating options.There are plenty of interesting fixtures to this pub like it's wood panelled wall's and stained glass window's and partitions and is a joy to visit. This was our 1st visit to this superb pub this year and as usual it was very lively which is how we like pubs as the atmosphere is a lot better.On our visit we had a few glasse's of cask ales which where as alway's excellent and were well priced.This is a fantastic pub in a brilliant area and well worth a visit and easy to get to from Moorfields train station its a short walk.(This is my fifth review of the Ye Hole In Ye Wall). Opening Hours. Monday-Saturday-12.00-23.00. Sunday-12.00-22.30. Public Transport. Bus Stop. North John Street Bus Stop-12-13-14-14A-14B-14C-17-17A-19-20-136. Train Station. Moorfields Train Station.

Visited this place with my blind friend and his guide dog. Immediately made welcome with a bowl of fresh water made up for his dog without prompting. Great conversation from the staff, with some of the history of the place. Array of real ales on tap, all exceedingly well priced. Stunning original interior with great ambience, welcoming staff and wholly inclusive. Well worth a visit.

Oldest pub in Liverpool, good atmosphere lovely staff very friendly real ale served here worth a visit. No food served here

Feel like you're at home with how lovely and welcoming this place is. Brilliant prices for locals and tourists considering where they're located.

Up,out and about on a beautiful January morning, my twin brother and I decided to jump the train down from Kirkby to Liverpool City Centre to visit some of the great pubs our city is justifiably famous for, one of the pubs we visited was The Ye Hole In Ye Wall Pub, a pub I've been visiting for more years than I care to remember. This is one of the oldest pubs in Liverpool, opened in 1726 ,its a superb old fashioned pub,snug rooms,stained glass windows, pubby decor and furnishings, nice wall art, a real wood burning fireplace, big screens to enjoy the sport and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub, its just a great pub to unwind in. We were here on a Saturday late evening, pub was very busy with a great atmosphere, we got a pale ale each,these were served in pristine condition, we luckily managed to get a table were we chilled out and soaked up the great vibe in this busy and popular pub. My pale ale was really good, well balanced, hoppy but not overhopped, delicious aroma and aftertaste, a classic British pale ale served in a classic British back street boozer, it was just so good being in such a lovely pub enjoying a quality brew and sat with my twin brother, best beer companion in the world. We both really enjoyed our pale ale's in here before we moved on and although our visit was only fleeting as on every other visit to The Ye Hole In Ye Wall Pub we had a great time. The Ye Hole In Ye Wall Pub is easy to locate along Hackins Hey. Opening hours are; Monday to Sunday, 11am till 11pm. Well worth seeking out if you're in this area of the city.

lovely little back street pub in Liverpool steeped in history. Great friendly staff and great beer.

Been to ye hole in ye wall many times always pop in when we’re in town. Keep meaning to leave a review, now I have . Went in today and got a warm welcome as always. The bar staff are fantastic and treat you like they have known you for years, Steve is superb and a great laugh, gave us cheese and crackers and some port , made my friend Lawrence feel like it was his birthday. Keep up the great work we really appreciate it thanks to you all for a great afternoon, Keith, si and Lawrence 👍👍

Met up with my sister and her family just after Xmas. I had my 18th birthday here and pretty sure I haven’t been back since. What a great old fashioned pub, real ales, great manager, old school hospitality. I’m sure time slows down here - we seemed to be in there hours and and only two hours had passed. Had a great time and will be back sooner than last time!

Fed pub, en god oplevelse, der kommer vi gerne igen.

A tradition Liverpool pub , friendly staff, with a good range of draught beers ,then you have exceptional food , with a very friendly atmosphere. You will not be disappointed

Great pub and very friendly staff, 10 out of 10.

Steve the boss very friendly and has a great sense of humour always makes you feel welcome. A great little pub its the first pub we go to when town. I highly recommend you give it a try.🍺🍷🥃🍸

On a spontaneous sightseeing visit to Liverpool, we decided to check out Liverpools oldest pub and discovered Ye Hole in Ye Wall. It's tucked away down a little street, however it's definitely worth finding and dropping in. With a great range of beers, some real local characters and a landlord and team that makes you feel so very welcome, we were so happy to have rested our feet, have a great beer and meet some truly lovely people. Stephen, the landlord, came over to chat with us and shared some of the history of this place and his ownership of what he'd done to keep the heritage of such a place (it was founded in 1726 - WOW!!). Stephen also introduced us to Black Velvet - Guiness and Port - and we weren't disappointed. We'll definitely be back and look forward to dropping in next time when there's some live music on. We didn't eat on this occasion - but the food looked wholesome and tasty! Thanks for the kind welcome Stephen and see you next time Fella!!

The place was very warm and didn't stay long because the place was dead and nothing going on inside but people drinking alcohol.

The best pub in Liverpool, friendly, accommodating staff, great beer, brilliant atmosphere- if you visit Liverpool it's a must. Ste the owner is the host with the most, fantastic guy

My twin brother Stephen and I were pub hopping around this part of the city around the always busy and bustling Dale Street when we decided to cut down Hackins Hey to visit Liverpool City Centre oldest pub namely The Ye Hole In Ye Wall Pub.

We got a dark ale each ,these were served in pristine condition, we chilled out and soaked up the special atmosphere in this special pub. My ale was really good, malty,hints of coffee, a delicious aroma and aftertaste with a slight bitter finish to it, a classic ale in a classic British pub,it was just so good being in such a lovely pub enjoying a quality brew and sat with my twin brother Stephen, best beer companion in the world. We really enjoyed our ales in here before we moved on and although our visit was only fleeting as on every other visit to The Ye Hole In Ye Wall Pub we had a great time. The Ye Hole In Ye Wall Pub is easy to locate along Hackins Hey, one of the city's oldest street. Opening hours are; Monday to Sunday, 11am till 11pm. Well worth checking out if you're in the area.

The perfect quaint pub for a relaxing quiet drink whilst in the surrounding area. No negatives or complaints from me. I received an all round excellent service from the staff on shift at the time of visiting. Always clean & tidy pub would visit again and definitely recommend to other friends and family to pay a visit to this lovely little pub 👌🏼😊🍻

Reputably liverpool's oldest Pub Nice friendly boozer recommended

Great little pub with atmosphere and character

The oldest pub in Liverpool 1726 we just had to visit.

Proper traditional pub. Their Coca-Cola was excellent.

We found this pub tucked onto a side street from a local who recommended it, and ended up meeting and talking with Steve the owner who was an absolutely fabulous host. We had such a great visit that we said we would be back later in the day after exploring more of Liverpool. When we returned, we visited again with Steve and his staff and a few other patrons and it truly felt like we had known everyone for much longer. It was one of the highlights of our day visit in Liverpool and would go back for another visit without hesitation.

Fantastic pub. Brilliant relaxing atmosphere, great music, good beer, lovely staff. Next time I’m in Liverpool will definitely be coming back in here.

Very quaint, friendly locals and staff

Fantastic old pub! Has a lovely classic interior, but what really makes it is the friendly and accommodating bar staff. Stephen and Lisa were lovely and helpful. If you’re in Liverpool,visiting- give it a go!

Had an amazing visit the welcome was so friendly. Steve you made what was a hard visit to liverpool to return my dads ashes to his beloved hometown just so wonderful. Thank you 😊

Made to feel very welcome. Staff very friendly and made to feel at home would visit again on a return visit

One of the oldest bars in Liverpool. Great atmosphere and good drinks

Being going here for years,great little pub,friendly staff and customers,give it a visit when in Liverpool.

Very popular so we drank in the street which was fine

Had a great bank holiday Saturday night with family and friends. Great laugh had by all - we only dived in to get out of the torrential rain and ended up staying all night

Staff we’re really nice, drinks were great。

Best old pub in Liverpool. Love every visit

My favourite pub in Liverpool, well worth a visit.

My favourite boozer, and here's the picture of him with his sons

Loved this pub a lot. Small but cute. Good for a pint or two.

Stopped here for a much needed pint while on holiday. Lots of character, very traditional decor. Love it.

The atmosphere was lively it was a Saturday night didn't wait too long to be served average prices unique place

Had a great drink with good company

Dating back to 1726, the oldest pub in Liverpool.

Stumbled upon this place, staff are so friendly, bar is lovely and such a selection of drink. Will be back 😊

Came here yesterday as was in Liverpool having a few beers. Jumped off the train at Moorfields and told my friend about the oldest pub in Liverpool which we had both never visited. I’ve never felt more welcome in a pub ever. Walked in, got a lovely warm welcome from the owner Stephan who asked our names and shook our hands. Safe to say you don’t get a greet like that in any pub anymore. Straight away we felt at home. We had a few cracking pints of San Miguel whilst sitting in the corner watching the horse racing. The decor is just what you can imagine from Liverpools oldest pub. All in all we loved it and we will definitely be back! I would advise everyone to go! Get in and have a beer, you don’t regret it! Thanks guys!!
