Another Liverpool pub that I've been to before but somehow missed reviewing for this site. I'd forgotten how beautiful it is, one of many in Liverpool, and said as much to the lass who was serving me. She agreed with me on both points, and I'm glad she hadn't become blasé about it, as can happen with the grind of a long shift behind the bar. Speaking of which, there was a decent and varied line up, though mostly well known national brands: Landlord, Titanic Plum Porter, Salopian Shropshire Gold, Doom Bar, Bass and a new one to me, Attic Centro Session IPA. I swerved the Attic and went for the Bass, and I'm glad I did, as it was not only the beer of the day (NBSS 4.5, £3.90/pint), but probably the best Bass I've had since I started doing beer scoring. Not to mention one of the cheapest pints in Liverpool, and it's right next to the station. This has got to be a must visit if you're on a train that stops at Lime Street.

There’s a nice etched window at the end of the serving counter of the Crown Hotel, but all the others are clear allowing passers-by to peer in to see middle aged men all sat separately in silence, well this was the case during a recent midweek evening visit. The extremely slow background music didn’t help with the ambience. Banquettes run under the front windows and part way up the left and right panelled walls. On the right-hand wall is an attractive tiled fireplace that is hidden behind a high table, more high tables are found in the centre of the pub around an ornate supporting column. An L-shaped serving counter supports premium and craft keg alongside seven hand pumps that were drawing Titanic’s Plum Porter, Oakham’s Citra, Wainwright, Liane Brewery’s Doublon, Dark Star’s Hophead, Doom Bar and TT Landlord. The Porter was on good form but the barman poured a comically short measure before disappearing off somewhere. I had to ask his colleague to top it up once he’d seen me above his screen… you’re at work, put your fecking phone down! There’s a dining room at the rear with the same wooden flooring, wood panelling and impressive ceiling. Worth a look, but don’t expect the service to be attentive.

Handy for Lime Street Station, a quite attractive and ornate pub but once inside the feel, as Ian aptly describes below, is one of a transient nature and the pub atmosphere is lacking. Seven handpumps on the bar of nationally available beers probably mirroring its general custom, Black Sheep Bitter, Doom Bar, Tribute, Landlord, Dark Star Red Dwarf and Hophead leaving one stick vacant, worth the tick but one I'm not likely to return to.
