The best BLUES pubs in the city.
bluekipper.com - Everton Top Toffee Ale 'ouses 2001/2007
The Wharf gets my vote and that's where I go for the away games and that's where I was yesterday.
I was in the Crown on Lime St on Friday afternoon - Harrison Line reunion. Quite a coincidence as I had a pint in there the night before I joined Harrison's in 1973. Totally remodelled inside.
Amazed at the prices - Liverpool really is the capital of cheap beer. Unsurprisingly, the place was packed.
Kevin ,have they covered up the marvellous platerwork on the ceilings? It should be listed, skilled plasterers did the work many moons ago and they were forbidden to smoke whilst working. When the gaffer came around they used to shove their cigar butts in to the plaster. If you can still the ceiling ,you will spot the cigar butts because,they have gradually reappeared over the decades, look like little thumbs sticking out of the surface.
Sorry - if I'd stayed there much longer I'd have been in a good position to view the ceiling, but these days I know when to go home!
The ceiling was still on view when I was in there in the summer, a nice little haven upstairs in there as well. Check out the ceiling in Dr Duncans too which I help repair and paint back in 1979, very intricate detail.
We were told there was plenty of room upstairs, but none of the beers on handpump will pull that far, so we stayed at ground level!Quote:

New figures show there are now more drinking establishments in the city than 12 months ago, bucking the national trend.
During 2008, 12 Liverpool venues closed ? but another 15 opened, meaning there are currently 948 pubs and bars in the city.
Across the country, the pub trade is suffering a slump, with around 36 licensed premises shutting every week.
It means the number of closures have gone up by more than one-third since December last year, rising from 27 a week in 2007.
But figures compiled by industry analysts CGA Strategy show Liverpool appears to be bucking the trend.
Across England, only 403 new pubs opened in 2008, while 1,803 closed.
Pro-pub campaigners claim the smoking ban and supermarkets selling cheap booze below cost have had a devastating effect.
Chancellor Alastair Darling has admitted the smoking ban was responsible for many pubs going out of business.
But Fiona Watkin, landlady of Thomas Rigby?s, in Dale Street, said the number of tourists brought into the city by Capital of Culture helped boost Liverpool?s pub scene.
She said the smoking ban was just one aspect of the problem facing many pubs.
She added: ?The VAT cut was one thing, but then they put up the duty on alcohol.
?We have had four cost price increases since January and we have only put up our prices twice, so we are absorbing the cost.
?The smoking ban has not affected us really because we have a beer garden.?
Campaigners claim traditional community pubs are suffering the most.
