Free house situated close to the business district, the Vernon retains the feel of a street-corner local. The single long-roomed bar serves three drinking areas including a back room with frosted glass windows advertising the Liverpool Brewing Company which used to serve the pub. The main bar has wood panelling, several large columns and a small snug area. Two regular house beers.
The Vernon Arms still retains some fittings from both Victorian times and the inter-war period. The public bar at the front has a corner door into a vestibule with two doors – a disused one on the left leads to the former snug but only a small part of the partition remains. The room with its sloping floor has old dado panelling, but the bar back fitting with its cupboard is a modern replacement as is the bar counter which is not in exactly the same position as the original. The very decorative plasterwork ceiling is held up by an iron column with decorative capital. The only original fitting in the bar is the fixed seating in the upper right area. Along Vernon Street there is a disused entrance which has an inner lobby with floor to ceiling colourful Victorian Mintons tiling and a short passageway leading into the pub with a dado of more colourful Victorian Mintons tiling. A door at the rear leads to a second room which retains its fixed seating and has some 1930s looking bell pushes in a wood panel above but the baffles look later work. Note the 1930s looking ‘Ladies’ and ‘Gentlemen’ red lettering on toilet panels in the area between the two rooms.
