White Star — Restaurant in Liverpool

The White Star is a proper Liverpool gem — a classic pub full of character, history, and heart. Tucked just off Mathew Street, it’s the kind of place that feels instantly welcoming, whether you’re a local or just passing through.

The beer selection is solid, with well-kept ales and lagers at reasonable prices. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxed pint in surroundings that tell stories of the city’s rich past.

What really makes the White Star stand out, though, is the brilliant service. The staff are friendly, fast, and full of that unmistakable Scouse humour — sharp, genuine, and always good for a laugh.

Counter: there is no accessible height counter.

Toilet: there is no accessible toilet. The mens toilets are downstairs but would be too small for a wheelchair. The women's toilets are up one flight of stairs. There is no gender neutral bathroom.

Seating: inside and outside there are low tables that can be used by...
