The Belvedere in Liverpool

Ah, The Belvedere – what a delightful little spot I've come across in Liverpool. It's one of those pubs that feels like a well-kept secret, nestled away on a side street, and it's got this warm, traditional vibe that just draws you in. I love how they've got such a cracking selection of ales and craft beers; whether you're after something local or a bit more varied, there's plenty to choose from, and it's perfect for catching up with mates after a wander around the area. The staff are an absolute highlight – so friendly and chatty, it makes the whole experience feel genuinely welcoming, like you're part of the furniture. On the flip side, though, those upstairs seats can be a bit of a nuisance with their wobbly and squeaky ways, which might put a damper on things if you're trying to have a proper natter. And if you're not keen on IPAs, you might wish for a broader mix to suit all tastes. All in all, it's a solid choice for anyone looking for a cosy pint in a less hectic part of town, but it's worth keeping those little niggles in mind to set your expectations right.
