Beer drinkers of South Liverpool eagerly awaited the opening of the Tap, or, to give the pub it’s official title ‘The Little Tap Room on Aigburth Road’, only for it to open in early March just before Boris closed all pub doors due to Covid. However, owners Aggi and Si (who is well known to drinkers from Sanctuary on Lime Street) were undeterred. Not wishing to disappoint regular drinkers who had enjoyed the Tap’s brief opening the couple were quick to organise a home delivery service
The Tap has an excellent selection of beers and spirits, sourced from both small and independent breweries. Cask and keg beers, draft cider and an excellent choice of bottled beers and spirits are all available.

Covid 19 has naturally dominated business in pubs but there has been some good news along with the bad. To comply with government guidelines pubs must ensure customers register themselves upon entry, and to improve social distancing many have extended or gained new outdoor seated areas. (From Monday 14th September, venues such as pubs and restaurants will be legally required to request contact details of everyone visiting, hold it for 21 days and provide it to NHS Test and Trace. They face fines of £1,000 if they fail to comply*)
Stamps in Crosby has a new roof terrace while others such as The Dispensary and The Pen Factory offer an outside table service. My personal thanks to those micropubs like Cask, The Little Taproom Aigburth, The Four Ashes and The Ship & Mitre who, during lockdown, offered takeaway cask beers, and continue to offer this service. Pubs have also changed their opening times, so best to check on their social media, as they can change by the week.
