Hidden in a residential area not far from the Woodside ferry terminal and offering some of the best views of the Liverpool waterfront, the Swinging Arm is a casual quiet boozer by day and a busy venue by night. A great little live music venue catering to rockers and bikers of any age, size and shape.

Historic Interest

Previously, the Royal Hotel operating from at least 1864, a Peter Walker pub from 1917, later selling Tetley beers in the 1980s.
