    Hidden Gem
    A hidden gem. Tucked in behind the Empire theatre its no wonder it plays on the famous patrons who have sampled the local ale. There are photos of A list to Z list stars and everything in between. The pub is so much more than this though, it feels like a local. Cosy and welcoming. The Scouse is a must.

    A great find
    We visited after it was recommended as we were leaving the O2 Academy nearby. A lovely pub full of character, very friendly and a great atmosphere. We will make this a must visit when we next see a show in the theatres in Liverpool.

    A Superb Pub By Lime Street Train Station.
    Ma Egerton's is a brilliant pub that offer's a superb drinks range and is without a doubt one of the best pub's in the city centre.This fantastic pub was built in 1846 and takes its name from Mary Egerton this pub's longest serving land lady. This fantastic pub has a theatrical themed interior with many picture's throughout the whole pubs interior relating to star's of the screen and from the theatre and there has been many famous stars who have been to here as the Empire theatre is in front of this superb pub. We visited here fairly early in the afternoon and it was very busy.When we went to here we had a few pint's of Moorhouse brewery beers which where brilliant and well priced considering the pub we were in.A fantastic pub in a fantastic area and so easy to find from Lime street train station its only a few steps away. (This is my third review of Ma Egerton's). Opening Hours. Monday-Sunday-12.00-23.00. Public Transport. Train Station. Lime Street Train Station.

    Don’t let one person spoil your night
    Came here for the scouse to try for the very 1st time tonight, and wasn’t disppointed. Really friendly waitress who was running around the packed pub! Also the bar lady who served me was courteous and welcoming. But the male staff member wearing the Xmas jumper didn’t look like he wanted to be there and I received a few daggers (stares). Was having a good time until I went to get a drink and was waiting to be served and that same bloke decided he’d ignore me and serve a fella who just walked thru the door. So we left to spend our money elsewhere (lost a star for that), Great way to end two great days in Liverpool after coming all the way from the other side of the world PS don’t wear a Xmas shirt if you don’t have the Xmas spirit

    Proper festive vibe
    Having just been in Liverpool Christmas Market for an hour or so ,had a beer and a hot wine there ,overpriced ,market looks good but it lacked the Christmas vibe ,playing 80's pop tunes ,very weird ,I can put up with the inflated prices but lack of atmosphere ,not acceptable so my twin brother and I saunted over to Ma Egerton's and the contrast was like night and day ,pub beautifully decked out for the Christmas period,staff happy to see you ,just a great vibe in here . We were here on a freezing cold Thursday December afternoon ,pub busy ,a quick study of their real ale's and we both opted to have a pale ale each from Moorhouse Brewery ,these were served in excellent condition ,we chilled out and soaked up the great vibe in this busy and popular pub. My pale ale was really good ,a golden ,well balanced pale ale ,hints of caramel ,a delicious aroma and aftertaste with a delightful hoppy finish to it,a classic British pale ale indeed. We both really enjoyed our pale ale's in here before we moved on and although our visit was only fleeting as on every other visit to here we had a great home. Ma Egerton's Stage Door is easy to locate on Pudsey Street. Opening hours are; Monday to Sunday,open from midday. Well worth checking out if you're in the area.

    Quaint and cozy pub with good grub
    Cozy and vibrant little pub with great decor of past film and music stars. Food is made fresh, scouse and crusty bread £9 and delish. The staff are very welcoming . Big Thankyou to Marc for charging my phone and speedily serving us before we left for the theatre. Will definitely visit again
    Hi Angela Thank you for your lovely comments. Really appreciate you taking time to post your review and we look forward to seeing you soon at Ma’s. Cheers Sue

    Best barman in Liverpool
    We booked a table for 6 before going to see Wicked. The food was fantastic. Drinks were reasonably priced. But a big shout out to the barman with the sliver jewellery. We absolutely loved him. Funny, helpful and an all round top bloke. Cannot recommend highly enough.
    Hey Teresa, Thanks for taking time to post such a great review. I have passed on the message to Mark who attended to you. It does mean a lot to us when people do take time to do this when they have had a good time at Ma’s Cheers from all and we hope you will be back

    How a pub should be run
    Great place for a drink, we went after watching a show. Friendly atmosphere, locals were warm and welcoming along with the staff. Clean, great tasting beer at a good price point.
    Hello there. Thanks for taking time to post your lovely review. We do really appreciate when those who have had a good time at Ma’s do this. We hope to see you again and we will keep the standards you enjoyed! Cheers

Prime Minister Boris has laid down the roadmap out of the pandemic for the hard hit hospitality sector with pubs being allowed to reopen on the 12th of April with outside service only and from the 17th of May inside and outside service allowed and by June 21st more or less back to normality so once again it will be great to visit pubs such as Ma Egerton's Pub.
A very cool pub indeed, two roomed ,a cool looking serving bar, nice decor and furnishings and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub both inside and outside, a very traditional back street boozer ,the type of pubs I love.
My twin brother Stephen and I were here just before the 3rd national lockdown descended, track and trace in operation, hand sanitisers, table service and contactless payment, we were allocated a table were we ordered pizza's which were absolutely delicious and filling and pints of guinness which were served in pristine condition, made to feel so welcomed in here as we always have been over the years and we can't wait to revisit here again.
I believe this pub will reopen on the 17th of May, hope I'm wrong, hope its the 12th of April but no matter when it reopens I will most certainly be there as its such a warm, welcoming and fun pub ,famous as well .
Ma Egerton's Pub is easy to locate on Pudsey Street behind The Liverpool Empire Theatre and adjacent to Liverpool Lime Street Railway Station.
Most definitely well worth checking out when the 3rd and final lockdown is lifted.

My twin brother Stephen and I decided to drop into Ma Egerton's Pub after a long train journey back from Newcastle Upon Tyne were we had just enjoyed a great week seeing the sites and visiting the many pubs to be found in that vibrant city.
This pub is superb, two roomed ,a small but eye catching serving bar, pubby decor and furnishings, tv's to enjoy the sport and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub both inside and outside, it a really good pub.
We were here on a Saturday afternoon, pub was getting busy with a great atmosphere, the Liverpool v Chelsea match was about to begin so we ordered beers each, these were served in excellent condition being iced cold and sparkling, we just kicked back, chilled out and enjoyed the footy while sipping our beers.
I must say the vibe in this pub was really good ,staff in here are excellent and make sure everyone is having a good time ,service is exceptional, beers are superb, we stayed here for a few more beers,enjoyed the footy and the atmosphere and when we are back in town again we will most certainly revisit Ma Egerton's Pub.

Opening hours are;
Monday to Saturday, 11am till Midnight.

I've just finished a Groupon deal for a sharing pizza with 2 sides. Oh my word what a find! The breads and dips were beautiful, the garlic bread was crispy and buttery but the Sammy Davies was so fresh and tasty, better than most restaurants I've been to. The staff are immediately your friends. I'll be back. Lovely place and staff ❤❤❤

We spent two lunchtimes here this week and dined on the Tommy Cooper pizza and 2 side portions. The second day we had a fantastic bowl of Scouse each. Both were excellent, my favourite was the Scouse. Full of flavour and not lacking in content! Complements to the chef who wasn't for divulging her recipe....(can't blame her! Cheeky to ask I say!) Friendly folk both drinking and working, slightly hidden away on the other side of Lime St Station this place but 100% worth seeking out and I can't recommend the food enough.

Our first contact with a local Liverpudlian, five minutes after arriving at Lime Street Station: we stopped for a moment just to take a look at Ma Egertons (like, "what might that pub be like?"). Comes this fellow, about the same age as we (not so young anymore), and says: "you definitely should go there".
Well, that´s what we did pretty soon, and repeated this a couple of times during our four nights stay in Liverpool (The Liner being our hotel).
One of the highlights was having a good time listening to and singing with the local Ukulele band (Thursday evenings!) - really enjoyable, nothing forced, just a dozen or so musicians having a good time and willing to share it with others. Don´t miss it!

The man who works behind the bar is quite possibly the rudest person I've had the displeasure to encounter. You wouldn't belive that we are the patrons and he is the server. Firstly we entered the bar and went to order asking a question about the song being played the server said "I'm not a dj im a bar tender what do you want". Secondly I held the door open for the server he shuved his way passed with no decorum, this is after I have heard him speak with other patrons advising "everyone in here is rude why is it so busy" this to me proves his rudness and arrogance. The double standards in this place are rife please avoid. I am from liverpool and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone living here or traveling in. I have given 2 stars due to the alcohol being sufficient but the service is diabolical.

Watch out for the barman (who is covered with tacky silver jewellery), makes out that the card machine isn’t working when making payment so that you will pay with cash so that he can short change you. We are Liverpudlians, not tourists.

Then, after being ripped off you can sit outside and be entertained by the groups of intimidating smack-heads walking up and down who camp out in a doorway just a few yards away. Never again!

Hello fellow Liverpudlians. We have had issues with card machine so not a ploy. We charge every customer the same so if you felt you’d been “ripped off” we hope this was raised and rectified. Mistakes can be made. No tourist tax at Ma’s btw. To make personal comments on someone’s appearance isn’t really something to go in a review? Your choice we suppose. 🫤 Cheers.

Stopped by after football.
Very friendly despite my scarf and accent.
It was quiz night and there was a great atmosphere. Don't give the quiz lady any lip though....you will get rinsed.
Proper old school pub. Wood, onyx and brass rather then chrome, cocktails and smoked glass.
You can almost feel the history and the big nights there.
Looking forward to going back this week.
