The Lantern Review

A busy local full of lively people big screen TV for big sports nights , several scattered around the place for day/evening sports

Nice pub, little area in the back with fireplace very snug. Staff friendly and smile

Proper old school pub. Great atmosphere, good selection of drinks.

Traditional pub on Lark Lane with a great atmosphere and amazing staff. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

Great pub in lovely area. Friendly atmosphere and my fiancee says the best capucinno she has had in a long time

Safe distance in effect good waiter service plenty of outside seating

The Albert is a great example of a historic pub that doesn't really care that it's historic and is just getting on with selling beer to people. It's fairly priced, not that many people order food, bar service is always quick, there's a nice beer garden and they don't mind dogs walking through the pub to the garden if you're out walking the dog and fancy a pint on the way home. There's a host of regulars and it has a feeling that if you turned up every day, there's probably several interesting story lines happening between the regulars, bar staff and other Lark Lane characters at any given point. I've ended up having a drunken singalong with strangers in the garden here, I've sat in corners writing with colleagues, I've been for the pub quiz, I've been for beers countless times. A proper local pub replete with everything a local pub should have,

Traditional pub and local legend. Great friendly and vibrant atmosphere. The beer is kept well too!

The Albert since it's redecoration, is looking very smart, with a mixture of the traditional & the new. The beer garden has greatly improved too. Unfortunately they no longer serve food. I would also suggest they utilise the space for a B&B, as I was told they did have rooms available at one time..& the building has character too

Good craic and I appreciate the wide selection of alcohol free beers!

Cheap drinks, nice atmosphere. Bizarre plug socket in the ceiling 15ft above our heads. What more could you ask for?

Lovely pub, very friendly staff, clean and stylish

I loved this traditional Victorian pub. If you are visiting the area definitely look out for it and call in for a pint.

Lark Lane's very own lunatic asylum. Go see the live music for a bedlam medley.

Drinking there for 50 years, through many re-incarnations, some good, some awful but this is definitely one of the best. Would like more draft but love the range of crazy gins and rums especially rhubarb gin - try it.

Nice old fashioned boozer in trendy Lark Lane. Recommended. Good selection of lagers and casks. Nice rear lounges and a decent place to watch football if it's your thing.

Great place to have a bevy before festival in Sefton Park

Shares honours with Keith's Wine Bar as being at either end of the alcoholic axis of Lark Lane. Scouse Bohemia in a pint glass.

An Excellent Lark Lane staple for as long as I've been around.
Always friendly staff, easy atmosphere no fuss traditional pub.
Have spent many a Christmas Eve here! Recommend!

Nice place characters galore, will be coming back for another pint soon

Excellent staff food good but portions a little small

Been coming to this pub for years always great atmosphere & in this current situation we had 2 good seating areas to sit at too

Fantastic pub we went in here as a group of 10 while away for the weekend. They put the big screen on for us to watch the wolves game! Great service, clean and friendly staff!!!

Very spacious expensive and toilets could do with a good clean

A great pub full of local characters and reasonably priced ale, and it's only a stones throw from Sefton Park.

A friendly popular local with character and a drinks range to suit all tastes at reasonable prices.

I have never been to Lark Lane so happened upon this pub by pure accident. Lovely warm atmosphere. Staff warm and friendly. Homely feel with lots of beer and spirits on offer.

Traditional historical very popular and friendly pub

Great "local" in fab. trendy Lark Lane. Ideal for a drink after a walk in Sefton Park and the perfect place to watch Liverpool live on TV. Really friendly staff and customers.

Classic old man pub but you don't feel odd walking in! Nice staff, sports are always on and the beer garden is amazing. Usually busy but really good place to grab a pint on Lark Lane.

Recent had a refurb but hasn't lost its character. Still the gun of Lark Lane.

Good value and generally has a couple of good ales on

Best place to drink on Lark Lane. You get all sorts in here and they all seem to be dog friendly!

The Albert Lark Lane Nice old style pub .
Worth a visit !

Amazing staff and lovely atmosphere, great Door staff

Beers good, Lark Lane is lovely. Pub is a proper boozer, what's not to like.

Great little Victorian pub and very cosy.The staff where very friendly and the security guard even went out of their way to open the double doors to allow my dad to park his mobility scooter inside where it was safe.The Doombar real ale was just like it should be.

Love this place staff and customers alike so friendly

Boss pub, it old school, staff are wicked and the beers are OK

I originally said it would only be a 5 star if they had a pool table... however, having been there several times now, it definitely warrants full marks. Lots of beers on tap, loads of different rooms to sit in and great atmosphere
