The Cornmarket, Liverpool

Hidden down an alleyway (Old Ropery) off Fenwick Street, this isn't a pub that many people stumble across. It's now one large room, but used to be two separate pubs. There's a well presented beer garden at the rear, which is why we headed for here on a very sunny Monday afternoon recently. The pub itself is quite ornate in an understated sort of way, with loads of interesting things on the walls. Sadly the beer selection isn't great with only Wainwright available on our visit. Still it was very warm so I had a pint of Estrella. It was so pleasant in the beer garden with both sunshine and friendly and chatty punters that we ended up staying for another. Well worth seeking out.

The Cornmarket Hotel was originally built as a boarding school in 1792 which survived the blitz in 1941 and is now a public house and used to be 2 separate pubs till the 1960's with the Bulls Head being the other. Found this pub OK on my Friday evening visit and certainly made a pleasant change from the nearby noisy pubs.The pub is quite spacious with 5 cask beers and a beer garden to the right on entry.Certainly worth a visit only if it is only to admire the oak panelling in the room on the left which was originally the cigar lounge oak panelling from a 1930's Liverpool cruise liner.

a really good pub, if not particularly good beer. it has one of the shiniest floors i have seen in a pub and loads of nice areas to sit. they were all packed today but I had a good chat in the beer garden. food appears to be canteen style and the smell spread all around the place.

An excellent pub with two sides; the smaller side in Moor St in only open on weekdays so was not visited. It connects through to the main side in Old Ropery which has a quite splendid interior. There is one large room, sectioned off with polished wood and glass and liberally strewn with shipping memorabilia. One long bar down the side, with some interesting half booths opposite, and at the far end a piano, which the barman periodically used to great effect. At the back is a beer garden. A good range of beers, including Ubu, Wainwrights and others and condition was excellent. One of those increasingly rare pubs where you feel at home as soon as you walk in.

This is a plush 2 roomed pub hidden away behind James St Station and easily missed. Its a lovely interior that unfortunately has a poor selection of real ales. However it is a pub worth seeking out. There are 2 entrances at either end of the pub but if there's a function on one maybe closed. Its too grand for me to describe so I won't.

An old stomping ground when I worked in the city centre, lunch time pint and food then back to the desk. Warm atmosphere all day, weekends see an older crowd in the afternoon, but a lovely place to sit chat and drink, with livelier bars just a stones throw away if you want to up the pace.

Another of Liverpool gems a lot bigger than it looks nice beer garden you could soon walk past this place
