It's good, I like it for a prematch pint as the usual places are normally very busy by the time I get to Anfield. The fact they have thin bars to rest you pints on instead of tables means it can fit a lot more people in and is pretty spacious for a pub. Loads of big screens and normally a live band playing LFC related songs.
Not sure if it's worth coming over from Manchester for though, you're better off going to Liverpool city centre and McCooleys if you want to watch the bar with reds.
