The Belvedere, Liverpool

With the nearby Cracke not sticking to its published opening times and with the usual dismissive attitude from the owner, we concluded our evening in Liverpool in the Belvedere. This is a tiny mews pub with a small bar area and a side room either side of a narrow corridor. There is a unisex toilet in the corner, which has recently been refurbished and is a noticeable improvement on what was there previously. New owners appear to be friendly and welcoming. They have retained the real ale selection, which is now listed on a large blackboard opposite the bar. Ales were Castle Rock Army of Me, Carnival Ribbons of Distinction - Nelson & Spitting Feathers Session Beer. Craft beers were Vaux Double Cross, Polly's Trouble On Central & Mobberley Loco Juice. There's always an interesting crowd in here offering equally interesting conversation. Well worth seeking out.
