Bard

Opened in February 2018, this is a small pleasant shop conversion serving quality cask ales and craft beers.
In my experience, always busy.

Bath Springs (John Kemble)
|
In 1999 I visited the John Kemble, a two room boozer with a plain bar and a nice (but deserted) lounge. In 2003 it was very different, pleasantly decorated and knocked round with just one bar. Now closed.

Kemble Street / Bond Street
|
| Clicks (Plough) |
This one bar pub with a nice layout with raised areas and a tiled floor has been badly neglected and was very tatty and grubby when I visited, although one area was being refurbished. LSTV. Now closed and converted to flats.

This large old house was converted to a pub in the 1980s I think. A very nice interior and excellent ales.

Deanes House (Legs of Man)

An enormous old house converted into a multi-room pub and nicely decorated. A bit lacking in atmosphere when there isn't a match on. A function room is available upstairs.

Dog House (Imperial)
|
The Imperial was a plain corner house with two bars plus a lounge and a pool room standing in splendid isolation in a formerly built up area. It was kept clean and tidy but was perhaps a little tatty in places. There was a bar, a small lounge, plus another room served from a hatch in the corridor.
It closed in 2006 and after being boarded up for some months it re-opened in 2007 as the Dog House. Not yet visited under the new name.
Noted to be closed once again by December 2008, and subsequently demolished.
Last visited 2004.

Bridge Road / Station Road

Eagle and Child
|
This pleasant plain two bar pub spent a period closed in 1998. It has original leaded windows. The lounge side is nicely done out, with plain wood walls and a partially tiled floor, and is well looked after. LSTV. Don't leave your bike outside! Now closed.

Mermaid Tavern (Red Lion Hotel)
|
The Red Lion was a traditional pub with two sides round the island bar plus a large front room. Some original features remained, including mosaic floor and stained glass windows. The rooms have odd shapes, to fit the street corner.
It closed in 2015 having earned a reputation in its final years for anti-social behaviour.
The building was used as an Indian Restaurant for a few years before this too closed.
Re-opened as the Mermaid Tavern in July 2022, with a very pleasant remodelled interior occupying only half of the original space.

Stage Door (Nelly Kelly's) (Victoria) (Old Mill)
|
The Victoria was the roughest pub in Prescot, they tell me.
Nelly Kelly's was a typical plastic "Irish" bar and my notebook recorded "Music too loud, barmaid deaf/stupid, short measures."
I am pleased to report that the Old Mill is a total transformation: It has a very nicely done interior with partially knocked through seating and games areas. They serve an excellent pint of Hydes Bitter and a seasonal Hydes brew is also available.
A revisit in August 2004 found no real ale available, but returning in 2018 I found Hydes brews on handpump once again, and very good. No cask in 2022, but "it's coming next week".
In 2023 I found that, being adjacent to the new Shakespeare Theatre, it is now called Stage Door. The cask Hydes ale was excellent.

Wellington

A large very nicely decorated building with small rooms partially knocked through, and original wooden panelling. The exterior is fun, almost baronial in style. The beer was excellent, and the all day food looks good.
