Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Drunken Duck
This pub is now called the Drunken Duck. It was one of few open beyond 11pm on Saturday evening. A couple of bouncers on the door allowed me in without a reservation and directed me to a seat.
Unfortunately, they don't currently have any real ales or cider, having previously been known for its cider. Instead, the keg selection was Guinness, Orchard Thieves, Amstel, Birra Moretti, Fosters, Camden Pale & Helles, John Smith's & Rekorderlig.
The bar is on a slightly lower level than the entrance. There are further areas beyond the bar, which I couldn't venture to. But the pub was certainly quite busy with a typical late night younger crowd. Not really my kind of pub. But at least it was open and the atmosphere is lively.

The John Duck is just down from the Big Jug.
Once inside the bar is to the front right and down a few steps,the seating here is normal tables and chairs,this room extends to the rear where there are more steps down to a pool table on the left side and some bench seating and normal tables and chairs.
There were three real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Firebrick Pagan Queen which was a nice drink,the other beers were Jennings Cumberland and Hobgoblin.
There was a TV to the rear showing the Everton v Arsenal game.
I thought this was a decent enough pub to have a drink in.
