The New Wellington

Ah, The New Wellington in Liverpool – it's one of those places that just feels like a proper local haunt, you know? From the reviews I've had a look at, most people are raving about the fantastic atmosphere; think karaoke nights and live music that really liven things up and keep the energy high. The staff often come across as genuinely welcoming, making it easy to settle in whether you're a regular or just popping by for a pint. Plus, the drinks are reasonably priced, which is always a win for a good old catch-up with mates. On the flip side, it's not all perfect – there was a mention of one staff member being a bit miserable and not up for a smile or a polite word, which could put a dampener on things if you're unlucky. Still, with such a strong overall rating, I'd say it's worth a visit for a bit of fun, just keep in mind that service might vary. All in all, it's a solid choice if you're after a welcoming spot for drinks and a laugh, but maybe go in with realistic expectations.
