Merseyside has 23 Wetherspoons pubs to choose from and though we try to champion independent boozers, there’s no denying that Spoons is a major player in the UK pub scene.
Loved by some and loathed by others, Spoons are widely known for reasonably priced pints, traditional fayre, trademark patterned carpets and cheap pub grub. With every corner of Liverpool city centre seeming to have a Wetherspoon site, and dozens more around Merseyside, we have decided to create a guide to the chain’s best-rated pubs.
Using Google ratings and your reviews, here are all of Merseyside’s Wetherspoon pubs ranked from best to worst. Where venues have the same Google rating, they have been listed in alphabetical order.
