The Monro, Liverpool

Even the unheralded pubs of Liverpool have something to offer. This has a ruin bar kind of feel. All distressed plasterwork and things hanging from the ceilings. I did like the ship busts standing either side of the bar. Friendly service - with the bar staff asking how my day had been before serving a lovely Neptune Aries.

Since my last visit, it has been whacked through into next door and given a very traditional Irish style pub interior, though the holes in the ceiling seem a bit excessive? Not to worry, it carries a lot of atmosphere and now a vast range of real ales as well. I was initially a bit underwhelmed by the selection but I then continued to the far end of the bar where there were some more options. A good pub now, one to consider for your crawls of the area.
