About This Pub
You know, when I think about Lock & Quay, it just feels like one of those pubs that really gets the community spirit right – it's tucked away in Bootle, right by the canal, and it's got this inviting atmosphere that draws you in. From what I've heard from folks who've been, it's brilliant for a casual get-together; they've got outdoor spaces perfect for a sunny afternoon pint, and they're always hosting fun things like music festivals or cheese and wine evenings that keep the energy up. It's great seeing how they cater to everyone, whether you're there with the family, your dog, or just popping in for a chat. On the flip side, it is a bit of a shame about the occasional sound issues at events, as that can take the edge off an otherwise top-notch experience, but overall, it's a place I'd happily recommend for a relaxed night out with mates.

Love this Community pub. It's my favourite pub in our area. Dog friendly, outdoor areas, music and activities most days. Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. It a cracker place right next to Leeds Liverpool Canal.
I attending a Cheese & Wine event at this pub. It was a good event the host was friendly and knew his stuff. The staff where friendly and the customers in the pub was friendly. There was a lovely atmosphere aswell. Definitely going back. They do lots for the community and lots of events on aswell through the year.
Was there for music festival and had a great day.
Kids had a ball, atmosphere was great & besides issue with sound (couldn't really hear at times), music was great.
Love the fact it's dog friendly as well 🥰
Excellent fun at the Lock and Quay music festival on Saturday. My kids and partner absolutely loved it, especially the bucking bronco which was free for everyone to go on. The horse rides were a great idea and we were so lucky with the weather and the use of the field at the back too. Thanks for arranging it all too.
Went to the Bootle Country Music Festival here.
Brilliant event, staff all very friendly and great venue.
Food and drink very reasonable for a captive audience too.
