Doctor Duncans, Liverpool

Several years since my last visit to Doctor Duncan's, this was our first stop of a crawl around some of Liverpool's pubs. The interior remains very much as I remembered with the narrow front bar, the magnificent tiled room to the side and cosier carpeted areas to the rear and left-hand side of the bar. We chose to sit in the green tiled room, which felt a little chilly on our winter afternoon's visit, despite the radiators blasting out plenty of heat. Cain's Bitter is a regular beer here. Also on were their Formidable Ale & Raisin Beer. Guests were Lancaster Kaleidoscope & Neptune Equinox. Bar staff were friendly. Still definitely worth a visit on any tour of Liverpool's pubs and can easily be twinned with the Ship & Mitre.

I read that this place had been refurbished recently but any changes must have been subtle. Still a beautiful eye catching interior. the real ale choice is only okay these days, it must be said - a lovely White Rat alongside Rev James, Doom Bar, Hobgoblin… yawn. Still, it probably remains in the ‘must visit’ category if just for the architecture.

This very ornate pub has recently been taken over and as such the real ale choice has improved markedly. Gone are the staid constants of Black Sheep, Spitfire, Cumberland, Wainwright's etc and now a more interesting and changing set of ales are offered - Salopian, Titanic and George Wright being examples. Much better than the boring Duncs of old.

one of many truly ornate pubs in Liverpool with several different rooms with unique character. it's really impressive and without seeing the outside you probably wouldn't guess this was a recent conversion to a pub. beer choice wasn't that great but I believe it has been recently taken over so hopefully on the way up.

Passed on my way to Lime Street Station. I had read about this one, so thought it prudent to visit. Nice interior, especially the tiled room off the main bar. OK pint of Black Sheep. Photos at my blog - - http://bit.ly/2csv7Qs
