About the Pub

This multi-roomed, low-beamed pub, dating from 1759 suffered from a fire in 2010 but has been restored without losing its unique character. The name comes from the fact that it was once used by sailors who were having their outward bound ships reloaded with munitions. Overlooking Egremont Promenade, the pub has fine views over the River Mersey to Liverpool. Three rooms lead off the main central bar area - for more information click on Historic Pub Interior in Features. Renowned for its Draught Bass, it also offers three guest ales usually including a beer from one of the local breweries. One real cider sometimes available. Good value quality home cooked food. Quiz night on Wednesday. Local CAMRA Pub of the Year 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2024. Merseyside (County) Pub of the Year 2021 and Merseyside & Cheshire Regional Pub of the Year 2022.

Historic Interest

The building dates from 1759, originally called the Black Horse. The Magazines Bowling Club was founded by 1840. Listed in Bagshaw's 1850 Directory as the Magazine Hotel, although still referred to in 1865 as the Black Horse in the records of Argyle Brewery (Oxton Road, Birkenhead) which held the pub on a lease. Argyle Brewery transferred the lease to Birkenhead Brewery in 1866. The freehold of the pub was put up for sale by auction in 1878. The pub later became a Bass house. The black and white photos show the pub in 1979 and 1992 and earlier.
