Lion Tavern, Liverpool

This is yet another magnificent mid-Victorian pub that is both Grade II listed and on CAMRA's National Inventory of pubs with historic interiors. As if this isn't enough, there were eight ales on when I visited a week or so ago. One of the ales on was Young's Bitter, but I wasn't yet so homesick for this apparently rarely seen ale in Liverpool, and went instead for the George Wright Brewery Marynka. Other notable ales on were Salopian Polygraph, a 7.4% monster, or Salopian Boomerang, at a mere 6.9%. I saw a couple of pasties in a container, but otherwise no sign of food. This is still a multi room pub, and if visiting you should have a good look round all the rooms. The tiling on the rear of the servery is really exceptional, and rarely seen bell pushes remain in the back room. This is another pub that's well worth a visit, both for the decor and ambience and for the ale selection.

Very expensive. Which is a shame because its a really nice pub. An 8 for the pub itself but minus points for the prices.
