About This Pub
Ah, The Tap in Eastham is one of those hidden gems that really hits the spot for a good old pub crawl. Picture this: you're sat in the huge beer garden, soaking up those stunning views across the Mersey, with a pint in hand and maybe the dog at your feet – it's just lovely on a sunny day. The staff are proper friendly, always ready with a smile and quick service, and they've got a decent lineup of beers and spirits without breaking the bank. It's especially buzzing with bikers and scooter enthusiasts, which creates a fun, like-minded crowd, but if you're looking for something a tad more peaceful, it might feel a bit lively at times. On the flip side, the food choices are a bit sparse, mostly sticking to snacks, so you might want to grab a bite elsewhere if you're peckish. All in all, it's a top choice for a relaxed afternoon or evening with friends, and with such high ratings, it's clear folks keep coming back for that special something it offers.

A stunning old pub that sits along the River Mersey. We caught a lovely day and sat in the huge beer garden with its adjoining stage area.
There were a couple of craft beers on and lots of stock beers and spirits.
We grabbed a few beers and some cheesy chips and took the river in, with a few ships sailing past during our visit.
