The Dealers Arms, Liverpool

In the left-hand side of the Dealers Arms is a small tile floored bar with some brown banquettes in the wedge at the front and a serving counter up the right that faces the pub’s side entrance. The television was airing Deal or No Deal which was being watched by the polite barman and his friends/family who were sat on these banquettes. At the rear is a carpeted seating area with green banquettes that are laid around the walls in an L-shape. The larger bare boarded right hand bar has panelled and tiled walls throughout and at the rear are a couple of high tables on some carpet. Along the front window is a dart oche for the dartboard on the left-hand wall at the end of the serving counter that supports standard keg alongside Birra Moretti and Cruzcampo. Deal or No Deal on the television in this bar was muted in favour of some background music. I’ve been in worse pubs, but the lack of cask ale will put some off.

now been comprehensively refurbished and is clean, disinfected, has working lightbulbs, fresh air and decent seats. The beer’s still crap though.
