Richmond Pub in Bootle

Oh, Richmond Pub in Liverpool is one of those places that just hits the spot for a laid-back evening out. From what I've gathered from the reviews, the staff are absolute stars – think quick service and chats that make you feel like you're catching up with old friends, whether it's the barman Conor or others like Matt and Terry adding a bit of banter to the mix. The ambiance is spot on, with a Parisian flair that transports you away from the hustle, and it's got all the makings of a great pub night, from sports on the telly to a nice corner beer garden for soaking up the atmosphere. Prices are fair too, so you won't feel short-changed. But, to keep it real, there are a couple of downsides; it's not the most accessible spot if you're using a wheelchair or scooter, as there's no ramp, and without a proper website, it's a tad tricky to plan ahead. All in all, though, it's a solid choice for anyone looking for a welcoming boozer in the city centre – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, as the positives really shine through.
