Central Commercial Hotel, Liverpool

Above the entrance of the Central is a very impressive domed skylight and across the ceiling is a long Walker’s Warrington Ales sign. In the front windows to the right of the entrance is a snug with red banquettes, that are found throughout, and a couple of tables. Mid-way up the right-hand wall is a U-shaped serving counter that supports standard and premium keg alongside four hand pumps, three of which were in use drawing Ossett’s White Rat, Bombardier and Little Tales Beer Co’s Alchemist. To the left of the entrance is some raised seating with banquettes along the front left window and up the left-hand wall. At the rear are more seating areas, again with banquettes, and on the rear wall is a fireplace. All of the walls area panelled with etched mirrors and there are also etched glass partitions throughout the pub. During a recent midweek evening visit the televisions throughout were airing muted Premier League football while some oldies played in the background. The service was polite and my pint of Ossett was very good so I’d have no issue returning to this ornate pub again.
