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.

Great Liverpool pub. Fab pizzas. Fab staff. Definitely book a table if you want to eat. We had a great couple of hours pre show at the Empire.

As usual, absolutely excellent food. Staff again, always lovely and helpful. I always come here for food before the theatre and it was the first time for my friends. We all had scouse, very tasty and nicely presented. Everyone loved it. Will be back again. Thank you

Booked for a pre theatre meal. Pub was very busy due to it being the Christmas period but the staff were really helpful and assisted me with seating my elderly disabled mum. Staff kept checking in to ensure we were ok and had everything we needed. It would have helped to have a slight tilt to the step but staff helped with doors etc. great night we will definitely go again. Food was lovely and hot I would highly recommend the scouse.

Went in for Scouse and a Guinness, my elderly parents are a regular here and rave about the Scouse, so we all booked. I wasn't disappointed, the food is out of this world, will definitely be back, friendly staff, warm atmosphere and excellent location straight out of Lime Street station. Five stars all the way!

Another visit to the Empire Theatre meant another visit to Ma E’s. Pre booking is always advisable as it gets very busy very quick! 3 of us this time, we got 1 build Ute own pizza, 1 Charlie Chaplain, swooping out 1 ingredient for something different, cheesy garlic bread and Scouse. As always the food arrived within 10 mins, it was piping hot, and delicious. 2 Coronas, 2 bud and a large Jameson & Diet Pepsi along with the food cost around £50. We’re at the Empire at least twice a month and ALWAYS choose to eat at Ma E’s beforehand, even though we live 5 mins away! The staff are always lovely & chatty, can’t say a bad word about the place. 10/10 every time.
