North Park Tavern in Bootle

Ah, North Park Tavern – what a lovely spot it is, tucked away in Bootle and offering that perfect blend of a proper local pub feel. I've got to say, the beer is spot on, with a fresh selection each week that keeps you coming back for more, and the prices are fair enough that you won't break the bank. The staff are just brilliant, always ready with a smile and a bit of banter, and the locals add to that homely vibe, making it feel like you're catching up with old friends rather than just popping in for a drink. They're big on entertainment too, with things like comedy nights and live music on Saturdays, which really livens up the place and gives you something to look forward to. On the flip side, it does get a tad packed when it's buzzing, so you might find yourself jostling for space on busier evenings. All in all, it's a top choice if you're after a welcoming pint and a laugh, but maybe plan ahead if you fancy avoiding the crowds.
