We go here regularly for the quiz. It’s a brilliant night out. The beers are great and the service is spot on. The pizzas are lovely and I’m really picky with pizza. Totally recommend.

A great place to have a beer after a walk with your dog as the place is dog-friendly. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Pizza was ok in my opinion but the beer was good.

The West Kirby tap is a bustling and well run pub, with lots of good beers on offer. The staff are lovely and Natalie was super helpful during our visit on Saturday. There are several of their own brewery, Spitting Feathers, beers and lots of great guest beers. We usually grab a pizza here, which are excellent and about 12 each, but the kitchen was closed today. It was no problem though as they allowed food in from the brilliant restaurant, Grand Ave, next door. The pub is always dog friendly and welcomes well behaved dogs. A must visit if you are in the area.

Great find! Fabulous range of beers! Atmosphere was good and became electric when the fearless James started to teach us the basics of Salsa!! What a pro, we were soon gaining confidence and graduated at the end of the evening doing freestyle salsa. The process was good fun, with much laughter throughout, we thoroughly recommend the pub AND the Salsa!

Would highly recommend this place for food and drinks. The pizza and dough balls were delicious and they had a great selection of beer. We smashed a glass during our visit and Amy and the other staff members couldn’t have been more understanding and helpful about the situation, even replacing the drink at no charge. The place had a great atmosphere, a lovely wood fire and I will visit again for sure. Dog friendly too which was perfect

A great choice of cask ales from this Spitting Feathers tied house. Top class friendly service and the beer prices are pretty reasonable, in fact if you buy 5 pints - the 6th is free. What you waiting for?

Sound pub with friendly staff. There's a little seating area in the front which is decent and they are dog friendly. Pizzas were were nice and a good selection of drinks available. Would pop in again when in West Kirby.

Amazing pizza, friendly staff and ample seating, this place also has some great live music. With a fantastic choice of both cask and bottled beers there is something for everyone. There is plenty of seating and standing area too.
