A 'local in the heart of the city', this small, cosy pub won the local CAMRA Branch's Best Community Pub Award in 2012, and Kitty McNicholas, who has worked there for 24 years, won their Bar Person of the Year Award in 2014. The pub is very handy for all public transport, and attracts people from all over the city, and visitors as well, with lively conversation the theme of every day. Tastefully refurbished in late 2012, it retains its traditional atmosphere, and photographs and newspaper cuttings on the walls lend insights into the pub's history and local characters. Watch out for the sloping floor in the front bar area! In the small back room, there is a wall length mural, aptly depicting the world globe, and a brass plaque commemorating the inaugural meeting of CAMRA Merseyside that was held there nearly 50 years ago, in 1974.
Built in 1888 as a datestone at the top of the building attests. The interior now consists of two rooms, a bar at the front and a much smaller room behind. There has been some re-working as the two entrances would have originally led to different spaces. The black and white tiling at the entrances no doubt dates from a major renovation in c.1984 The bar counter only dates from then and the old-looking bar-back fitting is an import. There is a bar-back-like feature facing the servery which may indicate the original position of the servery but locals say it was at the rear?
The pretty friezes in both rooms, at least, are original, but the Victorian-style fireplace in the rear room is also an import. The fixed seating and short partitions/baffle date back to the 1920s. Note how the front room floor slopes towards the street - there is a drop of some 4 feet from back room to front door - it seems that those building the pub simply followed the lie of the land. On the wall is a plaque recording the inaugural meeting of Liverpool Branch of CAMRA on Jan 18 1974.
