Now called Liverpool Brewing Co Brewery Tap.
As the name suggests it now concentrates on their own beers with a selection of keg taps along the wall behind the bar and, more importantly, a number of handpulls on the bar.
Upstairs is now a Nepalese street food place called MoMos.
3/4/17:
Now open and surprisingly quite good. There are 6 handpumps in two banks of 3 and a decent variety of beers. Hogsback, Titanic, Big Bog, Hobgob and a couple of others made up the handpump selection. The place is on two floors with the small pub-like bar being on the ground floor and a basement bar. There are 2 caged cabinets on the ground floor bar that display a load of bottled beers you can buy. I've no idea what the basement bar looks like.

Almost 3 years on from my last visit to Sanctuary, it sounds from the last few reviews that it has changed hands a few times in between. It is now being run by Liverpool Brewing Company.
All 4 of the real ales on were from Liverpool Brewing - Dark North, 24 Carat, Cascade & Syren's Call. Although it looks like they also have guests, often from Team Toxic. Indeed, some of their beers were available on keg. A 5th handpull had Lilley's Mango Cider.
The Sanctuary is a nice escape from the other rowdy hostelries nearby, having a feel similar to a micropub. I remember having previously paid a visit to the toilets downstairs, but we've never sat anywhere other than the pleasant ground floor seating.
Handy for Lime Street and Central stations, it's certainly worth a visit if you have any spare time. Oh and they do now accept card payments. Just as well, as I was only carrying a pound coin!

Visited on Saturday evening. Only two cask ales available (according to my friend who did the ordering) - Red Willow Breakfast Stout and Black Lodge Dizzy New Heights. The Dizzy New Heights was very pleasant, although two cask ales is a far cry from the seven claimed on WhatPub and the bar's own Facebook page - and from reading Al Bundy's review this does not appear to have been a one-off. As he has also mentioned, it is cash only here - which could catch people out who have become used to not having to carry cash over the last 18 months! Keg beers also available, though I didn't investigate as we were just staying for one.
Split over three floors, with the ground floor (where the bar is) being naturally busiest, the upper floor empty, and the basement level seeming to be the overflow area of choice. The basement is a bit dark and dingy, rustic perhaps, and is also home to the toilets.
Not as good as on my previous visit, and loses a point off my rating accordingly.
