'Unique' Liverpool pub The Bridewell named CAMRA Pub of the Year 2022

A city centre ale house has been named Liverpool Pub of the Year.

The Bridewell, in Campbell Square, has been awarded the accolade by Liverpool and District CAMRA. The pub, which beat hundreds of others to win the title, was announced as the winner this week after months of deliberation by judges.

The Four Ashes, Lion Tavern, Liverpool Pigeon and The Roscoe Head were also highly commended and made it to the final five pubs. The Bridewell was confirmed as the Pub of the Year on March 13.

Partners Fiona and Dominic Hornsby took over the lease for The Bridewell back in 2019, with the aim to create a traditional pub, drawing on the history of the Campbell Square building. The pub has been praised for its “great atmosphere” on TripAdvisor, with many reviewers claiming The Bridewell is “the best pub in Liverpool”. One recent reviewer said the venue is “one of Liverpool’s most unique pubs”.

Announcing the news online, Liverpool CAMRA took to Twitter and said: “Liverpool And Districts CAMRA are pleased to announce that the winner of this years' branch Pub Of The Year contest is @The_Bridewell. Congratulations to Dominic & Fiona & everyone at the Bridewell, for winning this prestigious award.”

The Bridewell retweeted the post and added: "Thank you so much to everyone who voted for us - it’s boss to win against such great competition".

The Bridewell was named the winner after a lengthy judging process, during which pubs were nominated based on their WhatPub scores before Liverpool CAMRA branch members voted on the final five.
