Pioneer Bar and Brasserie in Crosby

Ah, the Pioneer Bar and Brasserie – it's one of those spots in Crosby that's quickly become a go-to for a solid meal and a good laugh with mates. From what I've gathered, the food is a real highlight; their Sunday roasts are bang on, with tender meats and those dreamy potatoes that keep people coming back. The staff can be absolute gems, all smiles and chatty in the best way, and the place itself is always clean and inviting, whether you're grabbing a seat inside or enjoying the outdoor area with a cocktail in hand. It's got that relaxed, community feel that's perfect for a casual night out. But, let's be honest, it's not all smooth sailing – the new management has rubbed some the wrong way, with tales of unprofessional chats and smaller portions that don't quite satisfy. Plus, there have been a few slip-ups in communication, like messing up bookings, which might leave you scratching your head. Overall, though, if you're up for giving it a try, it's worth it for the highs, just go in with realistic expectations and maybe check things in advance to avoid any bumps.
