LIVERPOOL MEET - UPDATE

[westiegirl]

I remembered the name of the pub I went to in Liverpool, at the docks. It's called the Pumphouse.

Pumphouse, Liverpool, Merseyside, L3 4AA - pub details # beerintheevening.com

It's a few years since I've been there but I just remember it being bright and large and very close to the Tate Modern, compared to the pubs in the town centre which were very crowded, even on a Saturday afternoon (went on a hen day/night in Liverpool earlier in the year).

Anybody local know this pub and whether it is any good?

 

[Mrs Depp]

Oh I haven't been to the Pumphouse for a couple of years Sarah. It does still look nice though, plenty of room and hopefully talk-friendly.

Shall we make it The Pumphouse then everyone?

 

[MadamDotty]

Sounds good to me, we don't anywhere too crowded & noisy (well not until we arrive that is )

You're right MD!

 

[htpink]

Anything suits me! Have we decided on accommodation yet?? Actually if we are going to a bar at the dock i think i'll book the travel lodge at the dock!

 

[htpink]

Change that - the Travel Lodge is over a mile away and the Travel Inn is booked up!

I've booked in at the Express Holiday Inn £80 per night. See ya there!!!!

So sorry guy's gonna have to bail out this trip..... severe lack of funds due to fact I'm not working at the mo.....:cry:

Sure you'll all have a fab time.... Liverpool is great.....

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express last time I was there - it's a lovely hotel..... right next door to the Beatles Story Museum....... our window was right about the entrance...... waking up in Liverpool to the sound of the Beatles..... surreal...lol

Love

 

[Mrs Depp]

Aw so sorry you can't make it Mich. :cry: But understand about funds being low at the moment. :cry:Hope to meet you at another meet soon.

Hehe Hels I used to love that programme! Mum used to let me stay up to watch it as I was only about 8 or 9 when it first started.

 

[Summerskye]

I've just booked for the Holiday Inn Express, Albert Dock too. Just for the Saturday night at the moment .. although I'm sure I can add the Friday night if anyone else fancies a 2-nighter

I know the Pumphouse well and it's a great location to meet up. If anyone wants a great start to the night out - one of the best pub bands in the country, The Amazing Kappa, plays every Saturday night in the Cavern Pub in Mathew Street. Usually starts around 5.30 pm - and it's free to get in

 

[Mrs Depp]

Ooh I'd love to see Kappa again! Count me in!

 

[htpink]

That sounds a good start!!! I need an itinerary!!!

 

[Summerskye]

How about we start off around 5.30 pm in the Cavern Pub (which is at one end of Mathew Street), boogie to Kappa for a while, then just head on down the rest of Mathew St where there are loads of pubs/bars to drop into along the way.

It's only walking distance to the City Centre from there which is absolutely crammed full of bars and clubs too

 

[Mrs Depp]

What time is everybody thinking of arriving? I'd like to make sure I'm there to meet everyone. if everyone's staying in or near to the Holiday Inn then maybe we could meet up in one of the pubs around the Dock?

I'm considering ....need to read back and see where you are all staying and if I can get a room!!!

 

[IreneH]

I'm still struggling with the trains. For some reason that weekend part of the journey would be by bus

Irene xx

Lacey, Hels and Sharon have both booked rooms at the Holiday Inn Express in Albert Dock

Irene, is there a problem with the trains? Typical isn't it, the amount of money we pay to travel, the least we should expect is to be able to travel in comfort and not have to change trains 25 times!

 

[Summerskye]

I've looked into trains (about £60 return) and flights (can't find any at the moment!), so have decided to drive instead.

I know the route from London to Liverpool well, and there's a massive pay-and-display car park at Albert Dock which is easy to park in so it may even work out cheaper .. and I can arrive/leave when I want too.

It'll probably take me about 4 hours to get there, so I'll easily be there by early afternoon I expect

Maybe we could all meet up in the Pumphouse pub on Albert Dock?
