Carnarvon Castle, Liverpool

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.

A nice little pub thankfully overlooked by the pissheads. A thin, narrow pub so can be belly to belly when busy.
