although I'm not much of a drinker, I've always liked the look of that place. I like the old fashioned type pubs. Once went in one around Mount St in town. it was a small place, but full of character and served great scouse.Quote:

8 years ago there was The Travellers Rest and the Edge Lane now at the Old Swan end theres no pubs at all, from 5 to 0 in a few years ....**** shame.
Didnt the dryden re-open again for a short time last year?Quote:

Yes it re-opened but only for about 6 months, it's being knocked down to make a car parking area !! which was what was supposed to happen to the Travellers Rest 8 years on and its still a pile of bricksQuote:

The Eagle - Vauxhall Road / Blackstock Street.
Closed this morning but looked like it was about to open for trading. Still very tidy and clean looking.

The Glasshouse - Vauxhall Road.
I think it's a safe bet to say this pub's gone for good.

The Grapes - Knight St / Roscoe St. City Centre
Open for trading last week, not the tidiest looking pub, but you can't always go by outside appearances with pubs such as this.

The Clarence - Everton Road, Everton
Another ex-Higsons house that's seen better days.
http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i3...TOXTETH-MA.jpg
Dick Jennings - Hill St / Mill St. Toxteth
Another pub shuttered up...
And lastly... A pub I'd never seen until today, and with what I'd say is a rather unusual name...
http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i3...ACEVAUXHAL.jpg
Non Pareil - Marshal Place, Vauxhall.
Can anyone shed any light on the story behind this pub / pub name.
Hope you enjoy this little walk around a few old Liverpool ale houses.
The Botanic Pub.....the barrel has run dry...

Ross. The Glass House is still very much open and trading :PDT_Aliboronz_24:
The Non Pareil meaning 'having no equal' was once one of my locals.
Drank in all of those you've pictured.
Hic!

Yes, Eddie Brack.

The Grapes is still very much open, I know the manager. It's still busy most nights.

You won`t drink in there any more Ged, looks like its closed for good
I know Joe, I pass it every weekend. It was the half way house (the Lynch's had it), then Dicky Lewis's then the new half way house but currently closed again.
I wonder how many halfway houses there are in Liverpool? For a couple of years I drank in the one in Woolton. Got banned in early 70's for having a hurdle race across tables in the large back room - the one that became the restaurant. Thought it a bit mean of the landlord but the fact that we were both nude might have had something to do with it.
:PDT_Aliboronz_24:
Went back after two years as I heard that the manager who'd barred me had long since left. Went to the bar in the back room (not yet a restaurant) and queued for ages to get a drink. Increasingly frustrated as people the bar maid recognised, who arrived long after me, got served first - she was actually passing pints over my shoulder to people behind me. Eventually I let my frustration show and a guy came up behind me and asked me what the problem was - he was the new gaffer. I said something about the 'silly cow' behind the bar giving preferential treatment to customers arriving long after me.
His response was '...that silly cow is my wife'.
Back in the place for 15 minutes after two years absence and barred again!
:disgust:
The old Piano Bar on Derby Lane has been totally done out and refurbished , now called The Regency, very nice too !!
Kevin.

Barred outta the bar :)
The half way house in Woolton and the Piano bar in both its old guise and as the Regency can be found on the pub pages of my website below.

The Mere on Heyworth St, A fine half timbered building over a hundred years old. Notice the 2 figures over the entrance
http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i3...OADLYDIATE.jpg
Scotch Piper Inn - Southport Road, Lydiate
Reportedly the oldest inn in Lancashire, photograph taken in March.
Been in there, it's tiny inside and the bogs are in a seperate block across the car park, well the gents is for sure. Bikers used to frequent the place, maybe still do. A great farm, cafe and craft shop a few hundred yards past it called Lydiate Farm.
Lovely picure Ross. Pity the cars are stuck in the way to spoil the view.
Must be 30 years since I've been in there. Beer used to be run off from a tap on the barrel, into a large white enamel jug. They'd then fill your glass from the jug. Is it still the same?Quote:
