Quick info
About The Bulldog Bar
The Bulldog Bar is a family-run pub in Liverpool, at 136-144, open daily and taking walk-ins rather than bookings. Beer comes on tap, and the bar suits a straightforward stop for a pint as much as a longer sit. Food is served alongside the drinks, so a round can turn into a meal without moving on. Children are welcomed by the family behind the bar, which makes the room workable for a mixed group rather than adults only.

Customer Review Summary
The pint is what brings most drinkers back, described as brilliant beer on tap and a decent pint at prices several call reasonable, and more than one mentions settling in to watch the match in a spot they found friendly and comfortable. Close behind is the atmosphere, with several saying they were made to feel welcome by the staff and locals, and one describing plenty of room to sit quietly or in company alongside weekend entertainment. Food draws praise from a few who credit new management and a new chef, though one traveller suggests phoning first, having arrived to find it closed. The complaints are specific: one party waited an hour and a half for basic food, felt pushed behind later orders and said the manager would not come out to speak to them, and another reviewer reports being told to leave for eating a cookie brought from elsewhere while sixth form boys were left alone. Both said the treatment came from someone on the phone mid service.

“The woman who runs its is very rude and loves to talk to younger boys but kicks the girls out of the cafe??? Customer service is awful she is always on the phone when servicing customers and dismisses the things that they say however allows sixth form boys to do whatever they want and eat whatever they want in there but kicks the girls out for eating a cookie from another place.”
