About This Pub
Ah, The Cornmarket – it's one of those Liverpool gems that just makes you feel at home from the get-go. I've heard from folks who've been there that the staff are absolute stars, always going the extra mile to make sure everyone's having a good time, whether you're popping in for a quick drink or celebrating something big in their function room. The atmosphere is spot on, with those comfy seats and a real traditional pub feel that harks back to the good old days. The food holds up well too, especially if you're after hearty options like a proper ale pie, and they've got some nice wines to boot. On the flip side, it seems the beer choices aren't always the most varied, which might disappoint if you're a real ale buff, and it's a tad hidden, so you might have to hunt it out a bit. All in all, though, it's a solid spot that delivers more hits than misses, and with ratings as high as 4.5, it's clear it's a favourite for many – I'd say it's well worth a visit for a proper pub experience.

Great place! Just had my Dad's 70th Birthday party at the weekend in their function room. We all had a really good night and the staff were great, put on a buffet for us and we could have our own music playing and plenty of room for everyone. Thank you for everything!
Just can't recommend this pub enough. Kevin, the owner is one of the most welcoming landlords in town. Sarah and Karen are two of the best barmaids you could wish to meet. The pub itself is full of old-world charm, warm and welcoming.
It's a little bit of a hidden secret as both entrances are just off Fenwick Street. Inside are magnificent wooden carved panels around the fireplace. There are very comfortable Chesterfield couches that are very difficult to get out of once you're sitting in them. Nice staff and good beers and ales.
For the price great food, friendly staff, very good atmosphere. So nice to find a good old traditional pub, really nice inside. Proper ale too and nice wine. Thanks

Some pubs excel in their beer selection, some in their food, and others in their social atmosphere.
The Cornmarket is one I visited specifically for its food. I was on the hunt for a real ale pie. There was nothing to tempt me in the boring Ale selection so I had some cold yellow fizzy foreign lager.
The weekday only menu is simple and straightforward, which isn't a downside.
The Steak pie, which was both tasty and reasonably priced was a genuine pie, not just a stew with a puff pastry lid. It could have been even better with homemade chips but the fries where OK. The gravy was excellent, and the marrowfat peas were just right.
I'm not sure I'd visit if it weren't for the food, but it's worth stopping by for a look. The pub is historical an has an interest in decor and a small beer hand which is a sun trap. The staff were friendly.
