About This Pub

So, picture this: you're in the heart of Liverpool, maybe just off the train or done with some shopping, and you fancy a proper pub vibe. Yates is just the ticket – it's got this welcoming buzz that's spot on for watching the footie or rugby on the big screens, with a great selection of drinks and tasty food that hits the spot, especially their bottomless brunch deals. I love how they've got pool tables and an outdoor area for when the sun's out, making it easy to while away an afternoon with mates. The staff are often brilliant, chipping in with helpful tips or a friendly chat that makes you feel right at home. But, let's be honest, it's not all perfect – there have been a few grumbles about some staff being a bit short-tempered or messing up orders, which can take the shine off an otherwise fun visit. Still, with its prime location and lively events, it's a solid choice for a night out, as long as you go in with realistic expectations and keep an eye on the service.

A group of us went here as a meet up place. We enjoyed it that much we stayed 5 hours. Good atmosphere, bar staff were great. Sun terrace/smoking area was great in the sun. The food was fresh & delicious. Also had a few games of pool while watching the football. Really good afternoon, will be going back

Understand that is it busy, but hearing the bar staff swearing at each other and just being so rude. Went to order a Guinness, without just simply saying they are out of Guineas glasses, starts pouring it in a carling glass and just leaves on the bar not even properly poured. Tasted awful and many other people’s drinks just got random glasses with random alcoholic drinks.

Came here for bottomless brunch and Wade looked after us! It was £32 per person and definitely got our moneys worth! The food and atmosphere and the staff were lovely and very accommodating! Will definitely be returning 😊

Excellent central location and a really good sized venue with seating both upstairs and on the ground floor, and a small seated area outside. Good selection of beers on offer, I wouldn't normally go for Coors but wanted a change! We made good use of the pool table upstairs. The staff ask for a £5 cash deposit for the use of the cues and the white ball, and the table costs £1.50 per game. However it was probably the best pool table I used while in Liverpool so I was really happy with that.
