When I first encountered T'English Lounge, it was for one reason only - pub quizzage. Now, there's…read morea strange phenomenon that comes with local drinking. Have you ever found that once you have your local, and your pub quiz, you kind of feel like you're cheating on it if you attend another pub quiz? Well, I had this situation with the Crescent. Large's pub quiz only came around once a month so it's wasn't that bad. And I wouldn't be a good little Yelper if I didn't use it as an excuse to check out this pub. Situated on the edge of the Northern Quarter conveniently close to the Arndale and Shudehill, The English Lounge is a cosy, traditional-looking boozer that serves down-to-earth pub grub and provides a bit of respite from the quirk and hipsterville of the NQ and the ostentatious tackiness of the Printworks posse. The homey cosiness of the place is exemplified with dark wood, leather sofas and quintessential Englishness - bookshelves in a pub anyone? I'm to be found at the Cityco meetings here and I always enjoy popping in. Sometimes I'll treat myself to a little wine beforehand and chat with some business owners, and that's always been lovely. The wine that is, not the business owners. Although for the most part they're alright, as it goes. There are all sorts of vouchers and offers associated with this pub so you could save a pretty penny too, especially with the meal deals. The food's on until 9.30pm and it's run by lovely people - aces, no? Note: no wifi! Laptops to be left at home...

Just south of Liverpool City Centre, and close to the two famous Cathedrals, is this gem of a pub…read more With a cosy, traditionally-styled interior consisting of two small rooms, a small bar area and a snug, the only problem is that it can get very busy. Getting a seat on a Friday or Saturday requires an early arrival. (And the snug - well named - is usually occupied by regulars). But the combination of friendly service, five well-kept real ales, and the absence of TV and other distractions makes this a beer drinker's heaven. (I had a nice pint of Jennings Bitter on my last visit.) As the website proudly announces, it is the only pub in Liverpool/Merseyside to have appeared in every edition of the Good Beer Guide (which means for over thirty years), which is some accolade. There's a Quiz night on Tuesdays with a free buffet, and a Cribbage night on Wednesdays. Although I've not eaten here, they serve very traditional bar food - sandwiches, snacks, burgers, chilli, curry, a traditional breakfast etc - all with chips. There are always a couple of veggie options, too. If you are short of time, you can ring ahead to order in advance, though it would seem a pity not to linger a bit, here. If you want something different to eat, Liverpool's Chinatown is only a few minutes away. The Roscoe Head can be a little tricky to find: walking up Leece Street, it's on the bit of Roscoe Street on the left, opposite the ruins of St Luke's church, behind the old Post Office. There are bus stops 50 yards/metres away on Leece Street, and it is a 5-10 minute walk up the hill from Merseyrail's Central Station.

Actually no there is a pub in Manchester which is just a hallway and the bar is no bigger than a shoe rack. As I dropped in I was sure I was guaranteed a quiet pint as nobody really goes in here not in the afternoon anyway but with it being so small I couldn't get away from the bar maid. Don't get me wrong, lovely old dear who is planning an all inclusive to Turkey this summer but when the conversation is being held over the threshold of two separate rooms you know there is little point trying to continue with the idea of that quiet pint. Good ales on draught including a drop of 'Roscoes' specially brewed by local distillers The Liverpool Organic Brewery - although I was told she thinks they've pulled a fast one and just stuck a different label on the barrel, tasted good to me mind you.

The Crow's Nest in Crosby village is an interesting little pub. Located just over the road from…read morethe popular Birkey pub, The Crow's Nest could not be more different to its neighbour in terms of the clientele it attracts. From the outside, the pub looks quite traditionally designed, if a little dingy, and on entering the pub you will usually be met by several groups of middle-aged men who are no doubt regulars who have been drinking there since they were old enough to buy their own pints. The people in there are generally friendly enough, but if you're looking for a place full of young people then I'd advise you to go over the road to the Birkey. However, if traditional pubs with a bit of character and a range of guest ales on draught are what you look for in a pub rather than how busy it gets of a Friday night, The Crow's Nest could be the place for you.

It is ideally situated, just off the main road and has a large car park. The outside of the pub is very impressive. It is a grade 2 listed building and was once owned by the Holt family of Joseph Holt's brewery (and is still ran by them to this day). The inside is equally as impressive with the restaurant being very nicely laid out. The food menu is your typical pub grub. I ordered the Joey burger, and whilst I wasn't wow'd by it, it was OK. Most of my family went for more traditional dishes such as Cottage Pie or Steak and Ale Pie - they all looked and tasted good. The dessert menu was good also - the Oreo cake was a winner with my niece and i may have (definitely) scoffed a chocolate fudge cake. I would recommend this place for a bite to eat if you're local.
