In fact, ‘recommended’, is not credit enough. He typed up and emailed me a list of all the best bars within walking distance of Seel Street near our apartments (an excellent area full of great bars all within stumbling distance of each other). Seems a shame not to share it, so here it is, only slightly edited and added to by me.
I’ll start with a warning my friend gave me as the opening to the guide, because it made me laugh.
“I'd recommend staying clear of the Albert Dock - overpriced, no atmosphere and pretentious. Also, stay clear of concert square. Basically, you can't miss it - Walk-a-bout, Yates, etc. Head here for a fight with a pilled-up skin head, and access to a great selection of STD's.”
Ok, so on to the places worth visiting:
The Philharmonic - A cracking victorian pub that is quite simply stunning. It features an elaborate entrance and great selection of beers and ales on cask and keg. When I visited they had BrewDog’s Alice Porter and 5am Saint on cask as well as plenty of Cains beers. I decided it was a bit too early in the evening for a 6% Porter and opted for a 5am Saint. In great condition and excellently served, a perfect first beer.
Interesting fact #1: The men's toilets are famous for their original, ornate marble urinals, Women are permitted to visit as part of organised tours. The building is a Grade II* listed building. Don't believe me? Check Wikipedia
Fly in the Loaf – This is a great pub with a wide selection of world beers. Six different cask ales available at any time and always a well stocked beer fridge with excellent choices such as Brooklyn Black Chocolate stout and Orval to name but a few international favourites I’ve spotted.
Pogue Mahones – You guessed it, an Irish bar. But don’t be fooled, this one’s a little diamond in the rough. Worth stopping in to have a chat with some of the drunken Irish blokes - had some interesting conversations in here myself.
The Shipping Forecast – An excellent relatively new bar with a great selection of beers. Can highly recommend this one if you fancy somewhere a bit livelier. Keep an ear out for the actual "shipping forecast" playing in the gents loos.
Interesting fact #2: If it looks closed from the front then you may have to go in through the side entrance (a red neon arrow showing the way). They do this because it stops the riff raff from Slater Street/Concert Square from staggering in.
Santa Chupitos – Not really a place for a beer but deserves a mention as my favourite independent cocktail bar anywhere, wipes the floor with some of the tired cocktail holes in Leeds. The Cocktails are really unique and there’s an amazing atmosphere. The Cocktails are between £3-£8 but they are well worth it - truly unique and interesting with great quality ingredients such as freshly squeezed exotic fruits and high quality spirits. Follow them on Twitter.

Thomas Rigby's – A great pub with a cracking selection of beers and ales including decent keg such as Brooklyn Lager and Fruli on tap, and a wide selection of regularly changing cask beers. I’ve had Okells IPA and Rudgate Ruby Mild in here and they were both in tip-top condition, reminds me a little bit of The Grove in Leeds with its traditional multi-room layout.
The Baltic Fleet? Not exactly pretty, classy or well-located, but the house beers are decent and everyone loves a brewpub, right?
ReplyDeleteFly in the Loaf would be my definite must-drink for Liverpool.
Love spell doctor has brought my husband back to me after 6 months of separation. My husband left me and wanted a divorce because of a young girl who is young enough to be her daughter. Your love spell has reunited my family once again after mourning and tears that I am now a single mom, but my teas has turn to Joy with your amazing return lover spell.
DeleteI am grateful for everything. Anyone experiencing heartbreak and needs their lover back should contact lovespelldoctor0@gmail.com and that will be the end of your problems in that relationship.
The Fly in the Loaf is a top pub, easily one of the best I mentioned.
ReplyDeleteI've never been in the Baltic Fleet but will definately have to give that a try.
I rarely get chance to get over to Liverpool but it has an amazing amount of good bars within walking distance in the centre, which is what I've tried to cover here.
Glad I could help out. Another addition I'd make to that list would be The Officer's Mess recently opened on Victoria Street.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.theofficersmesspub.com/wines-ales/
Their website doesn't list all their drinks unfortunately. However, I recently enjoyed a Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout there.
The Baltic Fleet is tucked away on the dock road so very easy to miss when doing a pub run in the town centre. Very good winter though.
By the way, that's a different Neil above, not me. he's the guy who reccomended all these pubs in the first place.
ReplyDeleteThanks mate!
Excellent timing - I'm off to a stag do in May in Liverpool and have been looking for tips - most of these were on thelist but its goodto find an up-to-date review with pics! thanks!
ReplyDeleteno worries mate. be sure to click on the map at the bottom and save it somewhere. That way anyone with an iphone/smart phone will know how to get to any of em!
ReplyDeleteWhat about The Dispensary, good selection of ale (including Stringers and George Wright)and friendly atmosphere. Also the Everyman Bistro, just under the theatre. Great (reasonably priced) food, some cask and a decent list of wines by the glass.
ReplyDeleteWith all of you on The Fly In The Loaf, dragged Baron Orm there to make him sample European beer after the Beer Festival.
The Dispensary used to be good but is impossible to drink there due to an idiotic landlord who let a few Camra awards go to his head. Smells of bleach all the time too.
DeleteEvery 6 months my friends and I do a real ale pub crawl visiting 18 of Liverpool's finest pubs in 12 hours.
ReplyDeleteWe have dubbed it 'The Real Mile' (it's more than a mile, but that sounds better than 'The Real Miles').
Here's the map from our last event if any of you fancy 'Walking the Mile'.
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?msid=212214485963393953646.0004ad833278ad6a54660&msa=0&ll=53.393899,-2.976737&spn=0.008778,0.027637
Every Liverpool pub crawl should start at the Brewery Tap outside the Cains Brewery. I have labelled them in the order you should visit them.
There is a bit of a walk between pubs 1, 2 & 3 but the Brewery Tap and The Baltic Fleet are places not to be missed. Plus it's best to get these long walks out the way first whilst you're still pretty sober!
Enjoy the list!
Cheers,
John
Shows no one has a clue about Liverpool. Everyone hates Cains with a passion. Ethically worst company in Liverpool and worst beer according to their own brewers. Go to Liverpool for Cains? STAY AT HOME AND BUY TESCO LAGER...
DeleteThe Phil is run as a chain - and it is easy to see.
ReplyDeleteThe phil is a chain so their selection is available anywhere. Yes, get on a train for the phil... duh.

My husband changed dramatically towards me, doesn’t communicate anymore.He disrespects me and accuses me falsely of infidelity because of wicked gossip …but I’m simply AMAZED at the results of Dr. Todd who did reunion love spell for me. Everything is going so well and EXACTLY how he said it would be. Even though it took 3 days to fully progress, it was so worth it because things are just about at perfection! How he took my situation and completely turned it around to give me exactly what I wanted is beyond me, but something I will never question and just be completely grateful, God Bless Dr.Todd for turning sorrow happiness.
