Prominent and rather grand-looking former Wilson's house by Mersey Square. Opened out some years ago, yet plenty of comfortable seating around the bar area. Had sold only keg beers for many, many years until mid-2014, then again in 2019, when it dipped its tentative toe in the water to try a real ale. Such was the positive reaction to cask, that following a thorough refurbishment in late-2014, a further beer was added. That flirtation with cask ale ended in early 2022. Often has a lively atmosphere.

Historic Interest

For the football Euro 2020 final (held July 2021), the pub had a brief name change to The Southgate. In 1937 house let to Walker & Homfray's Brewery by the Palatine Bottling Co, originally a Stopford's Brewery house; latterly conveyed to Wilsons Brewery in March 1968.
