Situated on the main shopping street with outside seating on the pavement, close to the seafront attractions and the Floral Pavilion Theatre.

Historic Interest

Dating from 1891 as the Railway, a Birkenhead Brewery pub, then a Bent’s (from 1967 Bass) brewery pub, later leased to Higsons. Selling Higsons beer in the 1980s. Described in 1990 as a large street corner pub with basic bar and quiet back lounge, by that time selling Stones Bitter and Draught Bass by handpump. The Railway closed in November 2017 for over a year and reopened in March 2019 with a change of name to the James Atherton. The pub was renamed again on a temporary basis as the Three Bellends in October 2020.
