The Cornmarket, Liverpool

This is a plush 2 roomed pub hidden away behind James St Station and easily missed. Its a lovely interior that unfortunately has a poor selection of real ales. However it is a pub worth seeking out. There are 2 entrances at either end of the pub but if there's a function on one maybe closed. Its too grand for me to describe so I won't.

An old stomping ground when I worked in the city centre, lunch time pint and food then back to the desk. Warm atmosphere all day, weekends see an older crowd in the afternoon, but a lovely place to sit chat and drink, with livelier bars just a stones throw away if you want to up the pace.

Another of Liverpool gems a lot bigger than it looks nice beer garden you could soon walk past this place

Built in 1796, you could quite easily walk past the Cornmarket without noticing the pub was there. There are two entrances down two side streets. The main room features carved wood panelling from the Reina Del Pacifico liner which sailed from Liverpool to South America. The pub was a favourite haunt of ship's captains and Blue funnel staff from the nearby India Buildings. The pub still retains a conservative ambiance, staff are very friendly and the pub has a relaxing atmosphere. Food is served hot buffet style at lunchtime, four ales on handpump on our visit. I went for Milk Street Brewery Cobble Wobble.
