About Ma Egerton’s Stage Door

Ma Egerton’s Stage Door, right by Lime Street station, is one of Liverpool’s most historic pubs and dates back to 1846. It’s named after its longest-serving landlady, Mary Egerton, who ran the pub from the 1930s and was also a registered theatrical agent, entertaining the likes of Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Charlie Chaplin, Laurel & Hardy and Harry Houdini., many of whom you can see on their Hollywood Wall of Fame. And today it’s still a popular haunt for performers at the Empire and other nearby theatres. Food is served here right through day from noon to 11pm (10pm Sundays) and you can eat in the bar or the lounge area as you please. The pub is famous for its traditional scouse but there’s also a range of pizzas to choose from as well as soups, salads, cheeseboards and sharing platters. Ma Egerton’s has a quiz night every Monday, hosted by Shameless actress Tina Malone, as well as regular live music events. It can also bee booked for private parties and events.

Stepping into Ma Egertons felt like stepping back in time. Perfectly situated just behind the Liverpool Empire Theatre, this historic pub is full of character, rich theatrical history, vintage charm, and a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere, making it the ideal place to start an evening at the theatre. The five of us, ladies of different generations, shared delicious platters, olives and hummus, along with Prosecco, beer, and red wine. The menu isn’t extensive, but everything we tried looked and tasted fantastic. We also spotted other diners enjoying the homemade pizzas and famous Scouse with crusty bread, both of which looked wonderful. The staff were exceptionally friendly, attentive, and welcoming, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. If you’re looking for an authentic taste of Liverpool, hearty comfort food, and a warm atmosphere before a show, Ma Egertons is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back!

Ma Egertons was the perfect choice for a pre-theatre meal to kick off my mum’s 85th birthday celebrations. Located right behind the Empire Theatre, this historic Liverpool pub is bursting with theatrical character, vintage charm, and nostalgic warmth. The absolute highlight was their spectacular, authentic bowl of traditional Scouse. It is a rich, deeply savoury stew served with proper crusty bread and pickled red cabbage at a great price. My mum absolutely loves it and declares it the best in Liverpool—her seal of approval is not easily won! The staff are all exceptionally friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm-hearted. If you want an authentic taste of Liverpool, brilliant comfort food, and a warm welcome before a show, this legendary pub is an absolute must-visit. We will 100% be back!
