The Barker's Brewery - JD Wetherspoon Pub in Huyton

Archway Rd, Huyton, Liverpool L36 9UJ

About This Pub

Ah, The Barker's Brewery, what a gem of a Wetherspoon in Huyton, Liverpool – it's got that classic pub charm with its historical roots dating back to the 1800s, which adds a nice touch of character to your visit. I have to say, the food really shines; it's reasonably priced and hits the mark with options like perfectly cooked steaks or hearty nachos that leave you satisfied without emptying your wallet. The staff are an absolute delight, always ready with a smile and some knowledgeable chat about the menu or brews, making you feel like you're catching up with mates. And let's not forget the beers – their craft ales are spot on for anyone who appreciates a good pint. On the flip side, it's not all perfect; I've heard a few grumbles about food arriving a tad cool, like that fish and chips mishap, and it does get lively at peak times, which might mean a bit of a queue or hunt for a table. Overall, though, it's a reliable choice for a laid-back evening – you'd probably have a great time here, especially if you're after value and a bit of history mixed with your bevvies.

Nov '24 - Another great night in at the barkers brewery. Melt in the mouth sirloin cooked just the way I like it. Thank you again. Busy local pub with reliable food quality and outstanding craft real ale beers. Parking on site or plenty across the road. Tables are mostly kept clean. Using the app to order is amazing, drinks especially appear at your table lightning quick. This pub is popular locally and gets really busy. Thank you to wetherspoons for responsible pricing and attention to detail. And thank you to the staff which make this pub great to visit every time.

Number 441 on my wetherspoons tour. This one was the best for architecture and atmosphere in the Liverpool and Merseyside area. I was fortunate to get 10 minutes sun and enjoyed this with a beer bought for me by a friendly local. Excellent nachos 😋
