It's interesting that the reviews on Trip Advisor are mostly 5 (Excellent) or 1 (Terrible).
The beer lovers love the dispensary, this is a good example of a good review:
Visited this place twice now. Yes the landlord doesn't like the inappropriate use of mobile phones, doesn't give tasters, doesn't provide a public toilet, prefers to profit from the high turn-over of an ace product rather than high prices on a product of marginal quality, and he does like Iron Maiden. If any of those things disturb you, stay well clear.
The beer in this establishment puts the Dispensary into our global top 10, no, top 5. It is outstanding and I'm currently racking my brains for an excuse to get back there soon: Liverpool's Pre-Raphaelite paintings and beer from the Dispensary, a match made in heaven - Bill MC
although (ironically) under no circumstances mention you are there because of good reviews on trip advisor;
We got into conversation with Dave the Landlord I foolishly said I used Trip Advisor for choosing restaurants/ pubs/ hotels when away from home He suddenly flew into a rage ... and Barred us from our Favourite Pub in Liverpool - (Roy L)
