West Kirby Tap in Wirral

Meet once a week with a few pals for a couple of beers. Really enjoy the atmosphere, service and variety of beers on offer. Recommended.

Very quiet visited on a Friday afternoon...we like this pub because it allows us to bring a dog with us...will be going back soon for another visit..

Great choice of beer, great place to go with friends, allows dogs too! Beer constantly changing but a few favourites always remain. My local, my go to pub. Some outdoor picnic table seats for warm, sunny days too. What's not to like? Fab pub Love the new Spitting Feathers pale ale, Extra Mile. Great taste and great value

Always great here, amazing freshly baked pizza, great playlist & great beer. What more is needed? Oh yeah… the hot wings, they’re unreal!

Lifeless pub with lifeless servers and no food. Went on Sunday 08/09/24 at 6pm for a work do. There was no food on and we would have spent a couple hundred quid. We even messaged the week before saying there would be 15 people coming but we all ate elsewhere after. The bar had no atmosphere as there was no music playing. The women working were so incredibly impersonal, it was like you were being served by actual zombies. They barely spoke to you when you approached the bar, no niceties whatsoever, never smiling and generally miserable. This is not the first time I've had a bad experience here and as such, I would not recommend this place to anyone and I wouldn't go back unless I was forced to go.

Didn't eat here, but the staff are brilliant and the unusual beers are top notch. Looking forward to returning 😁

Stout is spot on. Very chilled out pub!

Absolutely the worst place to go in West Kirby. The staff are so horrendous. I went there for my friends birthday and they treated us like something they stepped in. I would suggest going to the Wro instead...lovely service and amazing drinks 🍸

Always a nice visit, staff have moved on but the ambience hasn't. Call in if in West Kirby.

This place is fabulous. The food was amazing and prices were very good. The lady who served us was very attentive and easy to talk to. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent array of drinks available. The staff are all great. Pizza and other bits are available. Good atmosphere an dog friendly,not sure about cats. Oh an a dart board

Really cool place. Great selection of drinks. Just what was needed after walking across the sands from Hoylake. Friendly efficient service.

Had a cheeky couple of hours here on a cloudy Thursday afternoon… my wife and I shared a freshly prepared delicious pizza which went down well with the couple of beers I had , heartily recommend trying this wonderful place

Great craft beer establishment! Great choice of ales on tap. Good, friendly service. And fantastic for bringing the dogs in as well!! Well worth a visit!!

Great pint, lovely to sit outside on a sunny day and enjoy

Went for the pizza deal . Ordered the mushroom pizza and honestly there were 4 slices of mushroom on it . Girls behind bar were incredibly miserable possibly because they too had ordered the mushroom pizza !

Nice little bar qwith good beers and food Friendly staff

Great atmosphere, and great staff, especially Emillie, she was wonderful, keeping our drinks full and helping our every need. Always got a smile on her face and keeping us entertained. Will be coming back!

Nice real ale bar. Food offerings in the way of pizza. Nice, friendly staff. Large area with plenty of seating. Seating available outside on the main road through from West Kirby to Hoylake; a good spot to watch the busy world pass by. Front is South facing so when the sun is out in the afternoon it's beautiful. Dog friendly 👌

We popped in after a hike for a few drinks. The staff were friendly and they had a nice selection of beers.

A great choice of cask ales from this Spitting Feathers tied house. Top class friendly service and the beer prices are pretty reasonable, in fact if you buy 5 pints - the 6th is free. What you waiting for?

I'm from Devon, spending time with friends 🧡 brilliant.

Very busy, no tables, but overall lively atmosphere.

Nice pub but beware just paid over £6 for a pint. It was nice but £6 a bit over the top, to be fair I was warned about the price. They do have cheaper beers but the one I had was good but £6 a rip off. Can the owner reply band justify the price. Staff very nice.

Friendly staff and delicious food.

Always a great stop off after a beach walk, fabulous choice of ales and the pizza is amazing

Great selection of real ales and ciders! Dog friendly and has a local buzz, very welcoming atmosphere great service. You can order 3 glasses as samples, which make up a pint to determine what other drinks you might want to taste further!

Pizza was very nice. Brilliant range of beers and spirits. A dog friendly pub (not my favourite thing)

Only recommendation is I'll be back

Didn't have any food, just dropped by for a few drinks after a walk in the sun.

Popped in for a quick pint and a bite to eat. Lovely inclusive atmosphere and a great range of beers. Would recommend and return.

Excellent service, good beer and pizzas

The Pizza at the West Kirby Tap is sensational. Great atmosphere and selection of drinks. Best pub in West Kirby!

Brilliant beer and the best pizza in the area, bar none! The staff are always nice too!!

Rude staff. Refused to serve us at 18:30 because we brought our dog and they said there were no dogs allowed after 19:00...

Great place to ha e a drink or food right next to the station

Friendly local a short walk from the station serving a wide selection of real ales. Highly recommended

Great bar spacious and roomy, serves food, Doggos welcome 😁

beer was rotten .....staff would not change it....ende up going to weatherspoons where staff more than helpfull.....

Great real ale pub, nice atmosphere, dog friendly. Great bands on on Saturdays

Update 14/8/20 There are very many reasons to visit the West Kirby Tap: delightful venue, wonderful staff, great cask ales, relaxed atmosphere... and one more reason added to the list recently, fantastic pizza menu, they are absolutely superb! Update 22/7/20 The West Kirby Tap has now reopened after lockdown. A very simple customer registration process is in place, accomplished either by a smartphone QR code scan or good old pen and paper. Social distancing and hygiene measures are excellent. Seating capacity inside has reduced slightly but that doesn't affect the pub's delightful ambience one iota. Seating capacity outside has increased via the introduction of four seater benches. Table service is in place, and bar orders are given verbally to the attentive, ever-circulating bar staff. The cask ale quality is, as always, superb. Superb brewery outlet with a relaxed atmosphere and a range of 8 guest cask ales covering a spectrum of beer/cider styles plus 3 craft ales. As you might expect in a brewery tap, beer quality is outstanding. Staff are very friendly and know their stuff ale-wise. Food is limited to cold plates, but is very good indeed. Has become my go-to pub for great beer. However, the "entertainment" on Saturdays is of a variable standard and can be very loud. My umpteenth visit today, beer food and atmosphere superb as usual. The music playlist varies in terms of genre considerably . If Nick is on the premises, it will be good. Just called in for coffee today, it's (almost) as good as the beer, sat outside in the surprisingly-warm February sunshine, watching the world go by, very pleasant.

The Good: Nice space with plenty of seating. The Bad: The beers were rather mediocre. Didn't taste fresh. No head retention and quickly ran out of condition. The Ugly: The pizza I had was a disaster. A soggy mess which was impossible to eat without a knife and fork. Base was limp and soggy. Yes, I should have sent it back but when you are with a group of friends you don't like to cause a fuss.

Great pub, great choice, great pizza (served most nights, check the menu!)

Craft ales pub in a non-traditional building. Nevertheless, atmosphere is usually good. Decent selection of beers, staff friendly

Great Gluten Free beers and generally a good selection, lovely staff and a great atmosphere

Great friendly little bar with wide choice of beers and tasty pizzas made fresh in the oven next to the bar. Bonus last night (Wednesday) it was buy one get one half price! Perfect after a 30k bike ride from Hoylake to New Brighton and back!

Very good pint of Thirst Quencher, and served with a very pleasant young man.

Pizza was great... beer was good... not so expensive..

Sound pub with friendly staff. There's a little seating area in the front which is decent and they are dog friendly. Pizzas were were nice and a good selection of drinks available. Would pop in again when in West Kirby.

Very nice. Great selection of beers on tap, and dog friendly. Pizza was great!

Didn't have food but great atmosphere friendly staff, fun day out.

Large variety of beers and good ambience

The West Kirby tap is a bustling and well run pub, with lots of good beers on offer. The staff are lovely and Natalie was super helpful during our visit on Saturday. There are several of their own brewery, Spitting Feathers, beers and lots of great guest beers. We usually grab a pizza here, which are excellent and about £12 each, but the kitchen was closed today. It was no problem though as they allowed food in from the brilliant restaurant, Grand Ave, next door. The pub is always dog friendly and welcomes well behaved dogs. A must visit if you are in the area.

Only had a couple of beers, but as always, great beer served well.

Plenty of cask ale choices to choose from. Always quality from Spitting Feathers. Another great find on our bus trip around Wirral.

Came here for a few pints after a walk on the beach with the dogs. Nice spot in the sun, chilled atmosphere & good for a bit of people & car watching. Nice place.

Fantastic beer and pizza. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area. Friendly fast service.

Pub was crowded as a band played but staff coped well.

Just in for 2 drinks busy vibe nice staff

Always a pleasure to visit this taphouse. Great beer, pleasant surroundings and a nice atmosphere. A positive for West Kirby.

Lovely environment, staff and drinks... too many dogs.

I like it here, great pizza, good service and nice atmosphere with a nice dog friendly vibe.

Love my local! Always a great selection of beers, wines & spirits. The pizza & nachos are great & there's a warm welcome from the knowledgeable staff. Everything a good local should be! Oh, and, very dog friendly if that is important to you & your pooch!

Just a great place to meet friends. Friendly with a great atmosphere

Great place for a night in West Kirby. Good range of beers, Live music when I was there. Decent sized venue. Deceptive from outside. Like the Tardis.

Great atmosphere, we didn't eat but the live music packed it out so slow service was expected. Good selection of real local ales.

Fantastic selection of beer's, food available if you want it

Not eaten here,but the beer changes often. They have their own beer and a lot of guest bèrs

Great atmosphere, sensible down to earth pub, dog friendly. Good range of Gins and Ales.

Plenty of beer choice and the staff were lovely

Big wooden room + wood floors 8 ales on. Foot raill at bar looks like heating pipes .friendly staff.

I really ought to visit this dog friendly pub more often. An excellent selection or real ales and some nice czeh largers. Well recommended.

Lovely morning at the beach today, breakfast to eat at the sail loft and then on to pint at one of the tap houses.

Good beers and wine. Friendly. Fantastic pizza.

Brilliant service and fabulous night

Good selection of real ales, especially the three from Peerless. They really were...peerless! Good service. Staff helpful and friendly. Don't be put off by some of the clientele who think they are something special

Great selection of cask beers at reasonable prices. 7 pumps available. Also do great pizza on Wednesday - Sunday.

Good selection of beers from small brewers, not the standard Doom bar mass produced trash. Busy when we were there but outside seating available.

Awesome food and excellent value. Great vibe. Would have been 5 stars but there were dirty glasses on our table when we sat down, and they were still there after we left. Could have easily took them when they brought the food or anytime during our visit.
