Three Pigeons, Warrington

This is another of Warrington's pubs that is blessed with a Regionally Important Historic Interior, so I called in before the match even though I knew there was no likelihood of getting any real ale. It was fairly busy, as may be imagined given how close to the ground this pub is situated. There was quite a press (nearly said scrum) around the bar counter that serves a sort of drinking corridor, so I made my way round to the front room and was served fairly quickly. This pub feels like a real blast from the past, as I must have been in countless pubs like this in the 70s and 80s, but the vast majority of them have either closed and been converted to flats or convenience stores, or have had the walls ripped out and become drinking barns. Definitely worth a visit on that score. Even though it means drinking something other than real ale. Date of visit: 1st February 2018
