Peter Kavanaghs, Liverpool

What a find this was. Hadn't been before on previous visits to Liverpool, but worth seeking out. We were glad it was quiet as we spent some time wandering round looking at the artifacts around the walls and suspended from the ceilings. One ceiling full of suspended radios, another with chamberpots and another with musical instruments. The beers we tried were great too. Cambrinus Herald and Cambrinus Endurance. No food though. Monday appears to be a bad day to eat around here. Will come back next time in Liverpool though.

Victorian/Edwardian interior with an eclectic collection of miscellany, a little like drinking in a junk shop. Many people rave about the interior and the beer. The cask beers, from Greene King (Abbot) and various microbreweries are usually good to fair, the interior is interesting but there just seems something missing. There are several small rooms plus a larger split level affair with lots of seating, more stuff, some interesting photos, posters etc and a piano. It is a bit of a local’s pub, with over exuberant regulars congregating round the bar but they are friendly enough. It is a fair walk from some of the better pubs but for the curious it could be combined with a trip to the Philharmonic and Belvedere.

a very characteristic pub well worth seeking out
