Doctor Duncans, Liverpool

Doctor Duncans is a large pub with a narrow bar area to the right of the entrance where the serving counter faces high tables across the large front windows. Premium and Craft keg were available alongside Carlsberg and the five hand pumps were drawing Bear Town Brewery’s Indoctrination, Best and Crème Bearlee alongside Neptune Brewery’s Spring Tide and Odyssey. Split level seating with green panelled walls runs up the left hand side of the pub and part way across the rear. To the right of the bar is a very impressive room with green and brown tiling around the walls and up a thin supporting pillar. It’s worth visiting this pub just to have a look in here. In the right rear is more seating with a bit more tiling, including a fire place which is situated next to a dumb waiter and lots of eating utensils. The service was very friendly and I liked the surroundings so I don’t see why I wouldn’t pop back in again if passing.

A large multi-roomed pub with some nice tiling and mosaic on the floor, there were a couple of cask from Beartown plus Titanic Black Ice. A decent enough pub worthy of a visit.

Several years since my last visit to Doctor Duncan's, this was our first stop of a crawl around some of Liverpool's pubs. The interior remains very much as I remembered with the narrow front bar, the magnificent tiled room to the side and cosier carpeted areas to the rear and left-hand side of the bar. We chose to sit in the green tiled room, which felt a little chilly on our winter afternoon's visit, despite the radiators blasting out plenty of heat. Cain's Bitter is a regular beer here. Also on were their Formidable Ale & Raisin Beer. Guests were Lancaster Kaleidoscope & Neptune Equinox. Bar staff were friendly. Still definitely worth a visit on any tour of Liverpool's pubs and can easily be twinned with the Ship & Mitre.
