Ye Cracke, Liverpool

Ye Cracke has a prominent Bass sign out the front, but they weren’t actually selling it during a recent midweek evening visit. The interior is bare boarded throughout and has avoided the interior design sledgehammer so lots of different rooms and partitioned seating areas remain. There’s a couple of bars, the one in the front right has five unused hand pumps so I decided to leave the lone old boy in there alone to use the main bar that was busy during my recent midweek evening visit. Three of the four hand pumps in here were in operation drawing Spitting Feathers Special, Wainwright Gold and Wensleydale Brewery’s Kiss From a Rose. I ended up sat with my pint under some art for sale in a room towards the rear. This is a friendly and popular pub that is worth a punt, just make sure you watch your yourself on the way out because the steps are steep.

A locals backstreet pub of some character and well described by Blue Scrumpy below. My visit was on a quiet mid - afternoon and found the landlady very welcoming, as were a couple of present locals, and chatty, yet you could sense she could also be quite formidable, she ran through my list of pubs I was/had visiting/visited in Liverpool and gave the thumbs up to most but described a couple as crap, or words to that effect, she's certainly a character. The beers on offer were not run of the mill and I had a decently kept Beartown Creme Bearlee and would have happily stopped longer if time permitted. Good Pub.
