ROB Camra left this review about Carnarvon Castle
A narrow frontage opens into a corridor pub with the bar on the left hand side with seating directly opposite which means it's difficult to get past when it's full of bar leaners, which it was. At the rear it opens out a bit into another room. Full of old boys and a few old girls at 12 lunchtime on a Monday. They specialise in toasties and a few were coming in just for a takeaway toastie for their lunch. A fairly pedestrian range of beer, but my Timmy Taylors Boltmaker was in good nick. Lots of friendly banter going on with the barmaid. It's a proper locals local in the middle of the city centre.

You'd probably walk on past, but this would be a mistake. Somehow surviving the shopping centre construction, its a survivor.
Small and narrow inside but full of locals. Open early and offering a wide selection of full english or toastie breakfasts at a very good price.
5 real ales on cask. Alas, my TT Boltmaker was a drain pour and I was wary about making a fuss. It was changed with an apology and pump clip reversed, swapped with a courage directors which (like how these stories usually go) was excellent.
A very enjoyable visit and I will remember the value breakfasts if I am ever passing again!

proper Scouse pub this and well worth a visit for those trying to get to know the real character of the city. ok the beer choice isn't that exciting but it is friendly, has a great atmosphere and always seems to be full. loads of old fellas with their wives in here and it is a convenient place to stop before/after your shopping.
