About Lime Street Central
Seldom does a pub this close to a major train station feel like somewhere you'd actually choose to stay. Lime Street Central pulls it off — industrial-chic inside, big screens tuned to the football, and a pint of Guinness that reviewers single out by name. The Sunday roast is what people talk about most, and with good reason: it's the kind of full-flavour plate that has locals telling the chef to his face it's the best in Liverpool. The small plates and vegan options draw nearly as much attention, and the steak and ale pie keeps showing up in people's orders. Breakfast runs too, with a sandwich board outside and the smell of food hitting you at the door. Staff like Courtney and Eddie are mentioned by name, which at a busy Bold Street pub says something real about how the place is run.
Lime Street Central is the neighbourhood spot done right — unhurried, unpretentious, with a wine list that gives it an edge over most of its category.
In the last 90 days, Lime Street Central has drawn 31 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
