A smart, modern, open plan bar with plain wooden panelling, bare brick walls and a log burning stove owned by Spitting Feathers brewery. Seating on the pavement outside. A wide range of beers, mainly from microbreweries both near and far are served. The food offering is bar snacks and freshly made pizza. There is live music on Saturday night during which the pub tends to be very busy and a quiz every Tuesday evening. Close to West Kirby shops and transport connections, a short walk to the beach and for those trekking to Hilbre Island, tides permitting. Cask Ale loyalty card scheme - sixth pint free.
