The Engineer, Liverpool

The Engineer has a tile floored bar area with pew seating up the right and a serving counter up the left that supports Guinness, Red Stripe, Brixton Lager and another keg product alongside four hand pumps that were drawing Salopian’s Golden Thread, Purity’s Gold, Colbier Brew Co’s Minor and Lilley’s Elderflower. Stairs by the entrance lead up to a plank walkway that runs across the top of the serving counter, from here accessed can be gained to three sperate green brick painted seating areas. In the rear left is another seating area that houses a television that was airing muted Sky Sports whilst some background music played. This is an old brick outhouse / garage that completely retains its outhouse / garage brickiness. At the rear is a skylight covered beer garden that is shared with the White Hart, both pub’s being owned by the same people. It’s different in here so I’d recommend a visit, if only to have a look.

Tagged onto the White Hart but a separate pub in its own right and certainly got its own interesting style. Four Handpumps offered up Westwood Cheshire Cat and Southern Cross, Ossett Silver King and TT Landlord. Great pub.

We made our way through the white Hart and on past the beer garden and into the Engineer. It was busy in the White Hart and in hindsight it would have been easier to walk around the corner and go through the entrance on Arrad St. The word has it that this space was used recently by a local retired engineer, prior to becoming a pub. I liked it in here somewhere different a bit like the Bride Well. I especially liked the 1970's copper top tables. Four cask on handpump, Carnival Brewing Co Never A Frown, Chapter Brewing Blindfold off, TT Landlord and Titanic Chocolate and Vanilla Stout.
