About the Pub
Refurbished and reopened in 2012 under its previous name, built in the 1820s for ferry passengers to Liverpool. The ferry terminal is long gone but there are excellent views over the Mersey. Off the beaten track but well worth the effort, one central bar services two rooms. The focus is on food with excellent quality reasonably priced meals served daily to 9pm. The house beer, HMS Conway 4.0%, is from Lees. Real cider is from Rosie's. The pub is cut off from the centre of Rock Ferry by the bypass so Rock Ferry station is 3/4 mile away on foot. Ample car parking on the road outside.
Historic Interest
The pub dates back to at least 1822 when it was named the Rock but soon changed name to the Refreshment Rooms. For a short time in the 1880s it was known as the Royal Navy Hotel. Owned by Birkenhead Brewery it was used used by the ferry passengers to Liverpool until the ferry route closed in June 1939. One of the old photos is from 1903. The pub was renamed the Admiral in 1959, selling Whitbread Special Cask Bitter in 1980. After a period of closure it was refurbished and reopened as the Refreshment Rooms in 2012.
