Addison Arms in Bootle

Oh, Addison Arms is one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem in Bootle – you know, the kind where you pop in for a quick bite and end up staying for the atmosphere. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the staff really shine; they're chatty, helpful, and go out of their way to make sure you're looked after, much like that Daisy who's mentioned in a few reviews for her top-notch service. The food's a winner too – affordable and delicious, whether it's a banging breakfast or a solid burger, and it's all served up in a welcoming space that's buzzing with energy, especially when the big games are on. They've got loads going on, from live music to sports events, which makes it a fun place to gather with friends or even the family for a bit. But, and I say this as a fair heads-up, there have been moments where service isn't quite up to scratch, like when the hot drink machine plays up, leaving you in a bit of a lurch. Still, with an overall rating hovering around 4.1, it's clear the good far outweighs the bad, and I'd reckon it's worth a visit if you're in the area – just maybe plan ahead for busier times to avoid any hitches.
