About This Pub
Ah, The Railway Inn—it's one of those classic pubs in Wirral that you hear about from mates, and from what I've gathered, it has that warm, community feel that's hard to beat on a quiet Sunday afternoon or during a big game. The hosts, Lynne and Colin, come across as absolute gems, always making sure you're settled in and enjoying yourself, and let's not forget the quick service and fair prices on drinks that make it easy to pop in for a pint without breaking the bank. It's especially lively when the match is on, with those spicy sausage rolls adding a cheeky bit of excitement at half-time—pure genius for footy fans! On the downside, though, a few folks have mentioned it feeling a tad exclusive, like if you're not a regular face, you might not get the attention you deserve, which is a real shame after years of loyalty from some. There've been niggles too, such as mistakes with orders or issues with the facilities not catering to everyone's needs, which could spoil the experience for a few. All things considered, with a strong overall rating, it's still worth checking out if you're nearby—just keep in mind it might not be everyone's cup of tea, so go in expecting a mix of the brilliant and the bumpy.

My opinion has changed about this pub. Very cliquey!! Twice I've been in and not been served.
I'm not abusive to the staff. My face just does not fit.
My nearly 8 years as a loyal customer has come to an end.
Amazing pub! Welcoming and freindly service!
The hosts Lynne and Colin are great by always making you feel welcome, getting stuck in themselves and who can deny the spicy sausage rolls at half-time when the match is on?
The bar staff always have your drink served quickly and the prices are reasonable. I cannot fault our local 👌
I an 75 years old and have to use a disposable Catheter to pee. The landlord took exception to this. His Gents has no receptacles to dispose of the Catheter. I bet the Ladies have disposal
bins. This awful man who wears a neck brace, barred me because of my impediment. What he doesn't realise is he is about to be reported for discrimination. I hope he looses his Licence. He's a disgrace to the profession.
Having not been to the railway for around a year, I decided to go for a drink on Saturday night with my partner. The girl got us our drinks but although I had asked for no ice she filled the glass with ice and bicardi then had to throw it away when she realised. The music was loud and more kids rap music which does not appeal to me, the televisions all had sport on and we ended up sitting outside to talk. However if it had just been not my type of place then that's fine but it was 9pm on a Saturday night and there was only about 6 people in there. I won't be going again. It used to be a fun local place to enjoy but it's obviously not now.
