This is really a good pub. Used to be the old Bridewell jail. Individual cells for drinking in and one of the best selections of real ales in the city. Service is superb, a waiter comes around asking if you need more beer. It saves you going to the bar.
Some friends who are local to the area introduced us to the Bridewell on a recent trip to Liverpool - what a fantastic place this is!!
There’s a lovely sheltered (and sometimes sunny) courtyard, and lots of query nooks and crannies to explore in what used to be a police station. We loved how the old custody cells have been made into individual rooms with brick vaulted ceilings and tiny windows high on the walls. There’s even an iron ring set in the wall for misbehaving prisoners.
We were here for drinks, but takeaway food can be ordered from the Italian restaurant just over the road.
A great venue with happy and obliging staff - we loved it here!
We have loved the Bridewell for many years as we love the atmosphere, beers and service, everyone is so friendly and the vibe of the Bridewell is unmatched. We love it so much here we booked the function room for our February wedding and honestly can’t say enough about how amazing the night was, Luke helped us organise everything including how the room was set up and gave us reccomendations for the food which was a lovely buffet and a singer Ali Horn who was also exceptional and was so friendly throughout, everyone keeps commenting on how much fun they had and how much they enjoyed the beers and the atmosphere and we just can’t recommend it enough!
What a great place. Great atmos - you sit in the cells to drink. And the best pint of ale I’ve had in a very long time. Superb!
One of the coolest pubs I've been to. Great beer selection, solid staff, and amazing atmosphere. Visited twice on my trip to Liverpool, once for just a drink and again to watch a football match. Met some extremely friendly and interesting locals. Sitting in an actual historic jail cell, having a pint, watching football, talking all things with some locals was a highlight of our trip.
What a quirky pub. We stopped in here for a drink before dinner and ended up coming back afterwards. Very friendly and attentive bar staff. They know their gins - each was garnished well. I love the layout and the history of the place being an old 'drunk tank'. We managed to get a table in one of the cells, a really cool experience. Highly recommend a visit! Lovely beer garden too!
Got to be one of the best pubs in Liverpool. Beer is great and you always strike up a good conversation with the folks sat near you. Not sure they do food
Great pub in a beautiful historic old police station, with one of the best pint of Guinness I’ve had in Liverpool. The bar staff and management are friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is lively and live sport is shown throughout. My favourite pub in the Liverpool centre to meet up with friends.
What a pub this place is! The staff were all so friendly and attentive and provide table service which is a bonus! Great choice of craft beer. Can't wait to return again soon!
Really enjoyed my first visit here and will be sure to return. Great service and a decent range of beers to choose from while sitting back in a former Police lock up that still has the original exposed brickwork and cell doors. It was also nice to enjoy being served at our table.
