The only pub within walking distance of my flat and thank goodness for that. This poet (without…read moreeven knowing it) loves Peter Kavanaugh's. As soon as you walk in, you're transported into your eccentric Uncle's attic. Everything you could think of adorn the walls (including chamber pots), and as you wander over steps and stairs to get to various areas of the bar, you find more and more cool things to look at. Someone, who I'm guessing was a regular, told me that the murals on the wall were painted in the late 20's as a repayment for a bar tab the painter couldn't afford. Whether it's true or not, it's the perfect story for the pub. The decor is extremely warm, with its deeply colored murals, blazing fireplace and leaded windows. I just simply feel good whenever I'm here. The regulars are colorful, hard drinkers and the bartenders are about the same. They all seem to truly enjoy their home away from home. Make sure you tip, though! The owner of the bar has a few rules to keep her place in line and are common courtesy acts you should be doing anyway. I hear they have great food, but the only bits I've ordered were crisps munched on over a really fun quiz they host each week, made even more enjoyable by the patrons and host shouting things at each other from various nooks and crannies of the pub. So if you're looking for a unique time with equally unique people to boot, Peter Kavanaugh's is where to go.

A very good selection of whiskeys and ales reflects this as does the straightforward division of the place between bar that seemed to be strictly for the gents and any women know their place round their corner in the lounge. I couldn't be totally sure if they did food apart from spying an A4 print out advertising world cup hot dogs. There was a delicious aroma coming from somewhere though, I was just slightly sickened when I assumed it was coming from the rather sad and shrivelled solitary roast chicken that was sat in some sort of heated cupboard.

Think traditional English pub, think Lion Tavern!!! These are the type of pubs that are…read morequintessentially British that majority of us are proud of. Mainly because there is nothing like them anywhere else in the world. Paris is famous for its cafes, we are famous for pubs. When that tourist steps into the Lion Tavern for example they are no doubt probably thinking wow!!! There is a sense of warmth about the place. Now this in itself is an acquired taste environment. The smell of alcohol which might be great for some people is rather off putting for others. In places like these it seems to be stuck to everything. We might as well make these humble abodes whilst stocks last, for I believe they are a dying breed these pubs. Why I may hear you say, inevitability is the reason I reply. The future lies with the youth, and as Anthony points out the majority of the crowd here is old school. When old school is over in the next 20-30 years the place will have to shut down. Cider and cocktails is the future in the health conscious modern society. The sheer fattening capacity of beer and a more educated and globalized modern consumer is slowly but surely shying away from it all. Never the less it is here today and much merriment can be had with a group of friends in a warm welcoming environment at the Lion Tavern. Better make the most of it while it lasts.

However, to do so would be at your own peril. The place is amazing. I've read countless reviews before in which people rave about a certain establishment for its 'large selection of drinks' but all this usually means is that they have a few alternating pumps. They have nothing on the Ship & Mitre, which boasts a drink selection so astronomically baffling that they've stuck up three menus to contain it all. The choice is staggering. Fancy something brewed by Trappist monks? You can here. Fancy drinking noxious cider that's bred in some guy's garage in Somerset? Fair enough, if that's what floats your boat. Whatever you opt for, you'll come away impressed. It's just that kind of pub. And that's before I even start on the fruit beers...

Love me an English pub, and this is certainly a typical one. It's near Liverpool city centre, so…read morewalkable to just about everything including the docks. Given it's solid location, it was surprised that it was super busy both times we popped in. It's cozy inside with plenty of seating. As with many places in the UK, it's an order-at-the-bar type of thing. Meaning, no one is coming to a table to serve you. We grabbed a few pints and decided to head out back. There you'll find this huge courtyard like space with a giant tent above it. So it's technically outside and open-aired, but completely covered. Sprawling tables and benches are about that everyone shares. A great communal atmosphere! On our second visit here during our time in Liverpool, we grabbed a bite to eat. They have a good size food menu including shareables/bar snacks, classics, burgers, and sandwiches. Sadly they were out of the salt & pepper chicken we hoped to order, so instead we went with fish and chips. A GREAT second pick because it was truly your classic English dish - the fish was battered but not overly like they tend to do in the US. Love the chunky chips (fries) too. Decent prices, great atmosphere, perfect location. Stop in!

In this pub last night, one of my friends remarked "is there no surface in here that is flat?" -…read moreindeed, it feels as though you're on a boat due to the wonkiness of the whole place. We agreed that most of the wooden surfaces are likely to be warped due to the years of soaking up spilt alcohol. It's a nice pub, pretty much standing alone in the midst of some sort of time warp battle. To the front of it you can see the docks and all the old architecture (what remains, anyway). Directly behind is a building site that appears to have been neglected midway due to lack of funds or something. And then further away you can see all the new developments that have sprung up in the last 5 years thanks to the Liverpool One project. The pub isn't attached to anything anymore, so it has the effect of being a boat moored in ambiguous waters. Inside, there are two small bars and two main drinking rooms, with additional area upstairs if the pub gets too crowded (which I can't imagine it does). The prices are what you'd expect and the decor sparse, with the exception of various nautical memorabilia and a swathe of pictures on all walls depicting various mariner's scenes. Altogether a nice little pub lost at sea.

The Baltic Fleet stands detached from everything else, like a tram left at the wayside. Its…read morelocation between the city centre and the docks means you're hardly going to stumble across this pub and will most likely have made a concerted effort to try it out. I know I did. The Wapping Brewery is located in the cellar, which means the pub gets first dibs of a fine selection of ales. I tried their summer cider and almost lost the use of my legs. No fruit machines or pool tables blight this place which is a grand idea, but I was curious as to why they have no jukebox. On their website they note how they consider this minus to be a plus but the silence just made the pub feel like it was about to shut. As Liverpool's last surviving sailortown pub, the Baltic Fleet has a strong seafaring theme, right from its fearsome name to the maritime decorations on the walls. Sitting inside with the wind blasting down the dock road outside can fool you into thinking you're onboard a steamer crossing the icy North Atlantic. Or maybe that was just the cider.

Named after the shipping company that pushed the Titanic out to sea and left it to fend for itself against the big, nasty iceberg, the White Star pub was also a favourite of the omnipresent Beatles, who were apparently shunned from the nearby Grapes for being too scruffy. The back room was where they would receive post-gig wages from then-manager Allan Williams, who would later find infamy as the man who gave them away. There's a booth with brass plaques and photographs, but thankfully that's about it. It's refreshing not having it crammed down your throat like every other bloody place in the surrounding area. Owing to the herds of post-war prostitutes that swarmed the city, the White Star pub didn't get ladies toilets until 1987. Don't worry though women (I know they hang on my every word), the place has facilities for you now. You just have to climb stairs to get to them. Blame the hookers for that one.
