The Nook, Liverpool

Closed.

Set in the centre of Chinatown just down from the huge Dragon Gate. In a few years time this may be cherished as an unspoilt example of a down at heel 1960s Liverpool boozer including a genuine Formica topped bar, but currently it is just sadly deficient although maybe worth visiting as a curiosity. A three room layout, bar, lounge and a corridor type area, all redecorated but in an older style. Nine dreary kegs but the sad stumps of 4 hand pulls remain, a silent reminder perhaps, of former glory as a Higson’s house. Mainly older customers and staff, some preferring tinned Carling to the bulk version on the bar. Friendly locals, well as friendly as 10 pints of cheap lager will make anyone, certainly a pub with character. The plaque outside describes its place in Chinatown history.
