About This Pub
Ah, The Grapes – it's one of those pubs that really captures the spirit of Liverpool, isn't it? From what I've gathered, it's buzzing with energy thanks to the non-stop entertainment schedule, whether you're up for belting out karaoke mid-week or catching a live band on the weekends. That Beatles history adds a lovely touch of nostalgia, and I love the idea of their jukebox supporting a local charity – it's those little details that make a visit feel worthwhile. The outdoor spots are brilliant for soaking up the street vibes, and with affordable drinks and specials, it's easy on the wallet too. But, to be fair, it's not all perfect; I've heard a few tales of staff being a bit off their game, like mixing up orders or not being the friendliest, which could spoil the fun if you're not lucky with your timing. Still, with such high ratings overall, it's clear most folks have a whale of a time, so if you're after a proper pub experience with music at its heart, I'd say give it a go – just keep an eye on the crowd and maybe grab a bite before you head in.
Pros and Cons
Pros
-
The live music and karaoke nights are absolutely buzzing – it's got something on every night, making it a top spot for a singalong or catching local bands.
-
That Beatles connection is pure magic; it's like stepping back in time, and they've even got a vinyl jukebox that donates to a homeless charity – feels good to support a good cause while enjoying a tune.
-
Outdoor seating on Mathew Street is perfect for people-watching on a sunny day, and the back area is great for a relaxed drink in the fresh air.
-
Drinks are reasonably priced, with some cracking offers like pints for £2.60 until 5pm on weekdays, and the staff are often friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home.
-
It's a classic city centre pub with a relaxing vibe inside, and they've got a decent range of beers that hit the spot after a day out exploring Liverpool.
Cons
-
Service can be a bit hit or miss; some folks have had run-ins with rude or inattentive bar staff, like getting orders wrong or being ignored, which puts a dampener on the night.
-
It's often packed, especially with an older crowd, so you might find it a tad crowded and hard to get served during peak times.
-
No food on offer means you'll have to head elsewhere if you're peckish – it's all about the drinks and entertainment here.
-
The atmosphere might feel a bit warm inside on busier days, as one visitor mentioned, so it could get uncomfortable if you're not a fan of crowds.

Lovely place, friendly people!nice garden!what else could you wish for?
Atmosphere by the band great .Apparently this was the Beatles . But the older female behind the bar was horrible rude miserable and ignored me as few times and got the order wrong . Place rammed with an older crowd
It’s not a trip to Liverpool for us without drinks in the Grapes. Staff and entertainment are amazing, and just about starting to feel like locals… in our dreams! We love you ladies - Ryan and Tammi xx
Great place for a beer! There’s no food but the staff is friendly! Now there is an offer, pint 2,60 until 5pm (Monday to Thursday). And you can sit where the Beatles used to sit!
Classic City Centre pub that feels relaxing the minute your walk inside. Great service and a decent range of beers at good prices.
It was too warm for the outside seats the day of our visit so we sat inside just in time for the Karaoke to start up . Been a long time since my last visit here but it won’t be long before I return this time .
