The Empire, Liverpool

Oldish interior, style and customers. Lots of wainscotting and publike bench seats and tables. A mass of Beatles related photos cover the walls, although the Cavern Quarter is a fair way away; is that the sound of a band wagon creaking under the weight? There’s an interesting statue at one end of the single room plus a few photos of old Liverpool at the other. Usual boring range of kegs plus the more unusual Manns Chestnut but no cask ales. A few youngish scallies who had escaped from the nearby trashier places mingled with the oldies. Apart from the beer not much can be said for or against this place, just average.
