Yet again, had a good couple of hours in there Friday (and it was packed). Works both ways, never  had an issue with him.

Tempted to pop in there and see what all the fuss is about. Not been in there for about 5 years but it always seemed a decent boozer.

Good pub. Every time my dad comes to visit he wants to go there, and Dave greets us, shakes hands and asks how we've been. Never had a problem with him.

I enjoy it, and I'll drink there whenever I feel like it.  ;)



I've always believed in taking people as you find them (oo'er missus).

I've never had any bother with anyone in there, be it staff or members of the public.


What makes me laugh about this thread is the amount of people who want to stick it to the Dispensary or kick the shit out of it's manager, and probably never even drink there.

How about drinking there and growing an opinion of your own. Not someone elses off another website.   ::)

As I've said before, I've experienced his shitty attitude, but there's enough decent ale in there, and enough other decent staff, to not have me avoid it forever.

Plenty to like about it outside of that knob'ead.

haha...bunch of lemmo drinking fuckin tarts..........personally Im glad there are still alehouses like the Dispensary - run by miserablearse characters like Dave - around.............reminds me of the days bevvying around that area when every landlord was a moaning arle cnut...eg, the Gashouse on Duke St - when Billy Carty had it.....makes Dave look like Philip Schofield by comparison....and Joey Ando in the Munro around the corner who only ever cracked a smile if Everton won....by 3 clear goals.....or Psycho John in the Central , who'd be shirt off and toe to toe at the first hint of a sideways glance......fortunately though, town caters for all kinds of tastes these days, so if you want a Kumquat juice spritzer served by a smiling tip-hungry bellend you're spoilt for choice

:lmao

The days of a good old fashioned nutty boozer are long gone. The likes of the Hillside, The Bluebell (someone mentioned the Eagle), you can`t have that type today, people get too outraged over the smallest of things. I was in the Jaw Bone the other week for the first time in years and that place seems quite mild from what I remember it to be.

The people who want put Dave`s head on a skewer and parade it through the outraged streets of Britain, go in there yourselves first and try and form your own opinion.

It's a hard life running a pub, I know. I can relate with some of the soft drinks/slowly sipping stories here and agree to a certain extent to a man under constant pressure to turn a profit day in and day out will lose the principle of being a friendly host to one and all that enter his establishment. Following Ladies into the bathrooms is way out of order which anyway you look at it.

Some of the tales on here and TripAdvisor are shocking, I believe I have been there more than once over the years and haven't seen any of that..but then again I'm a gannet and love my ale (pub life!) so there was no reason for a problem....and pissed so either I didn't notice or didn't give a fuck.

Simple answer, read and believe what you want or just try it and make up your own mind. Pubs need characters to a certain extent....I reckon Dave is loving the publicity.

I would if I got so many write ups on TripAdvisor  8)

Just to clarify ONLY ME , quote

"One of the owners (the little one) used to stand at the bar wearing a .357 Magnum in a shoulder holster. Never saw any trouble in there..."

They guy you are referring to , was called Bobby Fischer   (Not to be confused with the famous chess player, same name)
He was indeed a member of dads Club, BUT  never was a owner or director of the club!
Although He did try (Unsuccessfully)  to give this impression to others, usually when dad was away on business or holidays!
The Riverside Rifle & Pistol Club (Liverpool) was Founded and owned by original member , Mr Vic (The Gun) Williams

Never had a below par cask ale in there and the landlord always wishes us well when we leave.

I'm all for tough talking, no nonsense landlords, but following women into toilets to give them stick is way out of order.

Never had no issues myself in there, but I go in with a group of six lads, a mix of coppers, Firemen and civil service lads - so he probably likes us cos we put away our ale in vast quantities.

Named as one of the Echos top pubs...

http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/liverpools-top-24-pubs---6502831

The warm and welcoming Dispensary – or, as Dave sometimes calls it, the Dizzy – was named Camra’s Liverpool Pub of the Year in 2010 and 2011, and the Good Beer Guide singles out “the landlord’s impeccable attention to beer quality”.

Its seven hand pumps offer an ever-changing range of brews light and dark from breweries large and small.
