Walking in through the entrance I got old house vibes, especially because the layout would have been the same as my grandparents old house. So I’m not surprised to see that this place has recently been converted, although it is very well done. The wooden floored bar area is located to the right where there’s seating in the front window and a serving counter is found on the right wall that faces the old doorway that has been turned into a double sided beer shelf. A flight of stairs run up the left-hand wall to the toilets on the first floor. At the rear is a long room with a stool lined beer shelf up the left and seating up the right with copper topped tables. Daytime viewing was muted on the television, lord knows why because nobody was paying any attention to it. Thankfully the music was a lot more upbeat than Flog It. At the rear is a step down to an enclosed L-shaped patio with seating. The ceilings inside are dotted with hanging oddities such as satchels, copper items and old teapots, how very quirky. Premium keg was available from the bar that also supports five hand pumps that were drawing Blackjack Brewing’s Jack in the Box, Ossett’s Bitterly, Neptune’s El Dorado, Black Lodge Brewery’s Elephants and Acrobats and a Lilley’s cider. The service was polite and I enjoyed my visit so I’d pop back in again.

A recent opening in a very traditional style, which makes it feel like a proper pub. Called in twice during a recent visit to Liverpool. In the afternoon it was peaceful and we sat in the suntrap of a beer yard to the rear. Later in the evening it was much busier and had a great atmosphere. I tried 3 of the 4 ales available and all were in good nick. I suspect we'll be coming here pretty often in the furute.

Yet another excellent Liverpool boozer, four beers on, Black Lodge Out By The Lake, Titanic Cappuccino Stout , neptune Water Lanes and Nelson, the fifth handle was offering Lilleys Rhubarb Cider. Apparently a newish pub conversion, if so it's very authentic, a must visit.
