Crown Hotel, Liverpool

Much improved after the refurbishment. It looks like they may have refurbished the clientele as well. Both the upstairs and downstairs area now look back to their stunning best. Not at all like the flea bitten down trodden mess that we visited (briefly) a couple of years ago. Last time Ms CAMRA walked out in disgust at the lowlifes at the bar and the crappy décor. This time she was happy to settle down and have a drink. Still not the most inventive selection on the bar, but my pint of Rev James was in very good nick. Worth paying a visit again now.

Called into this 2019 Good Beer Guide pub and found 7 beers on the bar. Wooha Sunshine IPA, Laine Mangolicious, Cotleigh Tawney Owl, Robinsons Trooper, plus Doom Bar, Landlord and Summer Lightning. Chose the Wooha which was fine. Looked a popular choice for folks with cases coming or going to Lime Street station.

The Crown Hotel is a great looking pub that is right outside Lime Street station,so very handy for a last half to end my pub crawl on. Once inside the bar faces,there is a square shaped room to the front,the seating here is comfy bench type and small stools,there is another room to the rear which is carpeted and has a very ornate ceiling,the seating in this room is bench type chairs and small stools. There was a decent choice of real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Rudgate Dick Firkin which went down well,the other beers noted were Doom Bar,Old Speckled Hen plus one more. The pub was very busy on my early Saturday evening visit. Pub visited 28/5/2016
