New in 2021, I think, this is a rather good modern bar which has a large comfortable interior with attractive slightly quirky decor.

Arthur Guinness (Jalons) (Grog House) (Dirty Nellies)
|
The Grog House was a rather fine, slightly odd, bar with a gentle Irish theme. Arthur Guinness is similar, and very popular on a Saturday afternoon.

Evil eye was a pleasant trendy burrito bar.
Beeswing is a very good, popular corridor bar with more seating in the back yard.

Smithdown Road / Harwarden Avenue
|
| Belle Vue |
A plain, scruffy and grubby bar side with customers to match. The enormous lounge is much nicer looking but was completely empty. There is also a back room, completely unfurnished, which contained one bike when I was there. The exterior has been redecorated since my visit. Now closed.
Last visited 1999.

|
Black Bull
 |
A very impressive mobile pub, complete with wooden floor, solid walls and a canvas roof, serving four or five Theakstons real ales including the special Black Bull Bitter. Including it in the guide is a bit of a cheat but it does turn up at the Liverpool Show in Wavertree so I'm going to count it. Highly recommended, much better than your usual "beer tent".
Last visited 1999.

Black Cat (Craft Taproom)
|
I never visited the Craft Taproom because it didn't seem to keep to published hours. The Black Cat is a rather fine multi-roomed pub serving quality ales, cask and craft. Live music features.

Brookhouse (Finch & Firkin)
|
A very large pub with two bars in three large rooms with very high ceilings, nicely done out with wooden floors, old wooden tables and very comfortable sofas. Until October 1999 the on-site brewery provided Firkin Ales for this and other local branches but sadly these are no longer available.

| Chequers |
This large open two-bar pub is in a former bank (Chequers - get it?), although you wouldn't know it from the inside, nicely done with a wooden floor except for some raised seating areas. There's a pleasant beer yard at the back.
Now closed, I'm told.

Perhaps too big to be a micro-pub, but it's like one. Quality real ales, their own and others, are served in this intentionally tatty shop conversion. The brewery is on the mezzanine above the counter.

Opened as a Cains house on 25 August 1999, this place served a good pint of real ale. It has a flat frontage in a row of shops, while inside is one bar plus a side pool room. More recently it has an Irish theme and serves a fine pint of Guinness.

This used to be branded as a wine bar, and I noted a busy place with a number of small rooms, and not much sign of wine drinking when I visited. Inevitably decorated with some Beatles memorabilia, but not to excess.
