Doctor Duncans, Liverpool

Cains' premier tied house based in half the ground floor of the former Pearl Insurance building, also the nearest consistently decent pub to Lime Street Station. Most of the Cains range usually on sale at the front bar counter, often served by young, attractive, dusky maidens, who actually do a very good job. The ale is consistently good. Three drinking areas, those at the front were “customer facing” in Pearl’s day so they are very ornate, the back/side room is a bit plainer and has a vaguely chemist shop theme, in homage to Doctor Duncan I guess. Pulls in all sorts of customers being close to the station and so much more superior to nearby pubs.

Multi-roomed Cains house, serving the full range, including seasonals.
