Beefeater Stag & Rainbow, Liverpool

I don’t often go out for meals, especially with being a fussy eater, so when I do I like to go somewhere that does a variety of food, nothing too spicy or strange. At the beginning of October, Mike took me to the Stag and Rainbow for a meal. He chose this one because other pub restaurants are integrated with the pub and drinkers and diners are mixed. Luckily, the restaurant section at the Stag and Rainbow is completely separate and treated as thus. Upon arriving, we were asked if we wanted smoking or non-smoking. The smoking section is mainly near to the toilets and the non-smoking is nearer ... more

This is somewhere I've visited on two or three occasions as it is very close to my parents home in Liverpool, but I believe that each visit has ended with us saying we won't go back there again.

The frontage is delapidated with the top of their sign missing and the sign telling you about their services lying on the grass at the front of the building. Inside there is peeling wallpaper in the dining room and a very nice set of bars on the bedroom windows. Great idea if there is a fire eh? I was unfortunate enough to book into this place without seeing it and after a long journey I thought , it's only for one night I will ... more
