The Merton......"built on the site of a clap clinic you know?" This is the kind of place you loved when you were 16-19 but is it still worth visiting? With outside seating overlooking Bootle Magistrates Court, it's very pleasant in the summer. Regy even drank his first pint of Wifebeater in here - but how was it when we visited?
Decor: 2/5 - Millions of cue-sized holes decorate the ceiling above each pool table. they've been there for years. There's more Liverpool photos than Everton photos.
Staff: 2/5 - It used to be staffed by lazy young people, now its staffed by old people who took (at least) 5 mins. to find Grolsch" on the till.
Ale: 2/5. - Yes they do swing-top Grolsch bottles but the draught has always been of a poor standard.
Toilets: 1/5 - Urinal hasn't been changed in at least 5 years and is now sellotaped together. Cubicles are grim also.
TV: 2/5 - A small big-screen (if thats possible) and not enough normal screens to fill the place.
We visited when a Liverpool match was on but there was still not much of an atmosphere. There's 2 pool tables at £1 a game. The DJ stuff was still in there so we assume they still have good dance nights. Still one for the youngsters we think.
Overall: 5/10
