Ye Cracke in Liverpool

So this Fantastic Traditional Pub! Is Now Closing this Sunday April 25! This Fantastic Pub will be Missed Restricted opening hours but worth the wait to visit! Now Will be under new Management!

Had a great time here last night. Lesley (& Olive) made our night, very friendly & welcoming to all customers. Would love to come back soon and see the same friendly, smiley staff. Thanks again Lesley.

Basic traditional pub with a great craic from The Landlady.

Great watering hole nice oldie worldie pub well recommend lost count of the tines I've been here . P hat liverpool

Great pub. Shame it's being closed down and turned into an old style pub....cos that's what it already is. . #postmodernism #capitalismsucks

Apart from the John Lennon connection there is not much to commend this pub. The real ale selection is very limited.

My favourite Liverpool pub. Hasn't changed in the 30 years I've been drinking here, and that is part of it's charm. Great beer, good service and always someone happy to gab. Read it has been sold recently, please God the new owners don't tear the guts out and ruin it. If it ain't broke dont fix it. Brilliant boozer.

Historic pub. A must for all Beatles fans

I can't stress enough how much I love this pub. The quintessential old(e) school neighbourhood pub. A must visit on a trip to Liverpool. Only around the corner from the Philharmonic. Manager/proprietor has some stories!

Lots of history here about John Lennon.

An authentic pub with lots of history. John Lennon drank his beers there when he escaped from classes. The place has a good atmosphere and beers at a good price for Liverpool. Highly recommended.

Classic Liverpool boozer. Super chilled atmosphere and reasonably priced drinks. Always good banter with the staff.

Was good to experience where early Beatles history took place. In pristine condition with commemorative wall plaques. Definitely worth a visit, and yes... I'll be back!

Google was saying you opened at midday and your gasman said you opened at 1 pm so we returned at 1 15 and still shut . Very disappointed after a very long walk.

Very pleasant old pub in the Georgian Quarter. The staff were extremely pleasant and warm and the patrons were welcoming of those out of town.

Went here after 40 years. Exactly the same. My kids loved it. Starting a new generation in here. Cheers !

Smallish but warm-hearted, with kind service and Beatles-memorabilia.

Fine old establishment with real character and welcoming environment.

Classic pub with lovely staff and a jukebox. Drinks are reasonably priced, and it has a lovely atmosphere when it's busier, although quiet times there is a very quiet atmosphere. The private booth room is a nice little place to sit and have a drink. Would recommend if you are in the area! Only note is that there's no bar snacks, just a small note though !!!

Proper little pub with small beer garden. Decent staff.

Visited 30/12/24 on a recommendation and it didn't disappoint. Lovely old pub with great bar staff and the locals were friendly. Big shout out to Leslie.

Traditional pub ,fabulous time and good range of drinks.

The best pub in Liverpool! Great people, great music, great atmosphere!

Great local pub. Well worth going.

Wonderful Pub,great juke box great staff

Went into tonight (08/12/2024) young lad and young girl working the bar. Both didn’t stop working for a second tidying the pub and serving customers. They had a large group of people in who left all at once and they had the place tidied in less than 5 mins. We took our glasses back to the bar as we left and they took the time to thank us and wish us a nice evening. Both of them are a credit to the place. Lovely pub, lovely atmosphere

Great pub with fantastic service

Brilliant old school pub with a good choice of cask beers. A must visit.

This is a very personal and biased review because my memories were shattered when I visited Ye Crake this Wednesday 6th November. During 1971 and 1972 I visited here at weekends with 6th form school friends and GREAT times were had. On Wednesday and admittedly it was around 10pm in the middle of the week the other 8 people in the place didn't create the same atmosphere I remembered from back in the day. It looked as though it hadn't been decorated since then. Ok the barman was pleasant and seemed happy to see new customers but... It's said...NEVER GO BACK...and for this venue I should have followed that advice.

Superb pub in a beck street near Liverpool city centre. Great beer, great atmosphere, well worth a visit.

Historic pub with a lot of character. Stayed true to it's roots. Decent Guinness

Great feel to the place..was full of goths dressed for haloween but atmosphere was chilled....great music on the duke helped

Great place to meet friends. Great history and atmosphere.

Lovely atmosphere, fantastic lady behind the bar,lots of history and well worth a visit

Unfortunately, there was a Palestinian flag behind the bar, so we all walked out.

Nice pub with good best to resonable price and the Beatles meet up on thursdays

Awful landlady working behind the bar. I came in with a few friends talking and she shouted at us to shut up, asking us if we're children. Of course we replied no, as were all mid 20's. With that reply, she told us to all leave, telling us she refused to serve us. We we're respectful and weren't talking at an inexcusable volume. We were simply carrying on our conversation from the last place we came from. Would absolutely not recommend this pub, as per our experience, you simply cannot have a conversation without being penalised for it. Awful service, awful atmosphere and awful staff.

Tuesday night, so a little quiet. But good vibe nonetheless.

Visited this place one night just before closing with a bunch of mates. We couldn't have been made feel more welcome. The girl behind the bar was a star. Pints were lovely cask beers.. they Let us take photos behind bar and gave great stories about the heritage of the bar...its not much too look at outside, but if you pass it and don't go in for one, you'll regret it forever. Definitely planning a visit back

My favourite pub in town great service and prices reasonable

Lovely old traditional pub with lots of Beatles memorabilia. Great atmosphere in a beautiful part of town.

A hidden gem, good beer selection, good music, great atmosphere.

Dose not do food and not dog friendly

Was OK, Guinness wasn't the best in the world.

Great local pub.. Lovely staff and good beer x

Fantastic pub. Loads of quality real ales available. A proper old fashioned boozer with bags of character. One of the Heritage pubs in Liverpool and John Lennon's local apparently. Nice outdoor area too. A must if you're in Liverpool and like your beer.

Good beer on tap, friendly staff and other customers also chatty. Never a bad experience going in there!

Proper old school Liverpool boozer, used to visit all the time as a fresh faced 18 year old, finally able to enjoy a pint and used to love the place. Visited again recently as the Mrs works in the area and felt like surprising her but the lure of ye cracke proved stronger than I had anticipated and it has lost nothing of what used to make it such a great place to be... Sound staff, good atmosphere. Would recommend for a pint or two to anyone.

Fantastic staff, beautiful atmosphere and so much history. This pub is like a home from home, no matter where you’re from, you’ll make friends and stay friends. Don’t miss out.

Good attention. Good beer. Place full of history. Exciting. Dream fulfilled.

Great place to visit were John Lennon and Paul Mccarthy use to drink and write songs

A truly traditional old pub, with a sheltered outdoor area at the rear. We really enjoyed having a couple of drinks here. Recommended.

Great pub, loads of customers to soak up the atmosphere. The beer garden had sun, so we enjoyed a few rays and a catch up with friends. We didn't eat here.

A rustic pub with a bit of history and community atmosphere.

Not worth it. Felt like an inconvenience when we got the bar despite it being empty.

No food. Nice place for a drink.

A great atmosphere as always. Just a great chilled out pub.

Had me a pint of John Lennon's drink of choice at his pub of choice, and would recommend both.

Got to drink a pint with my dad who used to drink here. A piece of history.

That was even better than I imagined. The staff were so welcoming and showed me all the different Beatles/John Lennon momentos. Then the bartender gave me recs in the city and told me all about the history of the bar. Living in Philly, where we don't exactly love tourists, I was expecting that sort of experience. But it wasn't at all. Everyone was so lovely. And I got chills sitting at John's favorite bar underneath his portrait. You simply have to go if you're visiting. It's so worth it. I'm glad I started my trip at Ye Cracke!

This is a pub I've always wanted to visit after reading an article about it in a magazine. Great atmosphere. It's the perfect way to reminisce about the past. However, what I felt when I actually visited was that even without John, this is an active pub that is loved by the locals. Under the big tree in the garden, red-faced people were enjoying conversation with drinks in hand...I really thought it was a nice place.

Proper old school boozer with Lennon/Sutcliffe associations.

What a special place. And a fitting name. Seems to be a neighborhood institution that nearly blends in like any house save the fact that there are a few beer signs out front. Seemingly appears out of nowhere and is quite a change from the busy shops and pubs near the Philharmonic. Place looked empty but the front door was unlocked and a few others came in not long after. Some unique ales being served and meant to be enjoyed in this unique pub.

Absolutely loved this little pub. It's full of character. The lady behind the bar is so lovely. I loved the atmosphere and the interesting people I met there ❤

Deserted, no food at all, not even a packet of crisps or nuts. Liked the War Room though where John Lennon held court.

Place with a lot of history and above all with the best service, the lady who welcomed us was the coolest and most accessible, we hope to return soon 💜

Nothing beats nursing a pint and reading a book under the bodhi tree on a beautiful sunny day.

Not to be offensive but a scheme pub. Saying that the staff and locals were friendly.bit wasn't busy when we were in but we didn't feel uncomfortable. Good range of drinks. Decent price. Would definitely go back.

We had a sing around there. The beer was good friendly people

Didn't have food so cannot comment. I am a massive Beatles fan so just had to pop in to one of John Lennon's favourite pubs

Friendly pub with good beer. Basic but full of character.

Started coming here as a student in the 80s and it hasn’t changed at all . Good ale , traditional Liverpool pub with reasonable prices. Handy for the Philharmonic too

Brilliant pub Love this place Always welcoming and a good atmosphere

Visited the pub after trying to visit for a long time, as it’s known and as a real ale pub. Only had two craft beers on which was a bit disappointing. Gin wise they had gin, or pink gin, which again is a bit unusual fir a 2024 pub. The vibe is good and the people inside were ace, but beer wise on my visit, it was ok.

Need to improve their beer selection.

Boss scouse pub, you'll struggle to find one better.

One of our favourite pubs in the wonderful Georgian quarter. We often find it busy but it is so well run that the service is always excellent, tables are cleared regularly and there has always been space for us. Always some properly kept ales on tap. Facilities are always clean. Above all, enjoy the atmosphere and decor reflecting local history and enlightened views and values.

Great pub for beatles fans and has paintings of them by local artists in one of the 4 snug rooms. Old fashioned and untouched decor all round plus Duke Box and some decent ales. The atmosphere is lively say Thursday to Sunday with a few quiter nights.

Lovely old fashioned pub just off Hope Street.

I wanted to try here as I’m a big Beatles fan and I know John came here. Very dire place, outdated, not much of an atmosphere. Toilets disgusting. Not often I don’t finish a drink! Good service from the guy though.

Classic Scouse pub. Good choice of ales, and 1 or 2 ciders on tap as well. Dukebox available, although when it gets busy, you can't actually hear the music!

Staff are very friendly, drinks are reasonable, atmosphere is brilliant!

Fantastic gem of a place. Full of history. So good to see they've kept the place as it would have been when John Lennon used to go there. Highly recommend if you are a Beatles fan.

Really excellent establishment, cosy in winter great outdoor space in summer. Always a very warm welcome and a wide selection of real ales on hand pump kept in tip top condition. Probably best avoided late afternoon on the last Sunday before Christmas though... it tends to be rather rowdy. Overrun with Christmas jumper wearing, moustachioed n'er do wells who appeared to have been enthusiastically over imbibing for several hours.

Visit this historic bar as a tourist on Sunday night. Very calm atmosphere and perfect for having a good beer. The attention that the client receives is good and was the most important thing. It was a pleasure to be in a place where John John Lennon drank beers. greetings from Spain.

Full of character, a good old fashioned pub. Not a great selection of ales to be fair, but well worth a visit if you don't like the modern branded pub chains. No food though.

Cant fault the place it's a pub and a good one too!

Olde Worldly pub. Famous for being John Lennon's local. Well worth a visit

Great little pub, lovely people and fantastic service

A lovely, atmospheric old-fashioned proper pub. It's no wonder young John Lennon liked it!

Nice and old pub with a fantastic lady behind the desk.

Great place to social and to learn about the beatles early years it was one of their local haurnts

If you're a Beatles fan, it's a must visit landmark! John Lennon's local pup he frequented during his time at art college.

Cosy out of the way pub Worth a visit 👌

Boss night great atmosphere with great people

Honestly dreadful. I've not been here since 1998. It's not changed a jot. We went in and the barmaid was miserable as sin didn't speak a single word to us. We had our drinks in a cold room with no atmosphere, although the art work was nice, it will be at least another 25 years until I return. But let's face it I doubt I'll be around then.

Proper back street boozer. Exactly like a pub should be. Historic Beatles connection.

Great choice of ales. In top 3 pubs in Liverpool, and that's saying something 👍

Great pub with the John Lennon history with it

Great as always. Love this place
