Birkey
 
 |
This large two-sided pub is very pleasantly done out and was busy with friendly locals eating free sarnies when I visited it during a Sunday afternoon football match back in 2002. Much quieter but just as pleasant on a Tuesday in 2018.

A nice large open simply decorated one room pub with tables outside to the front and rear. One of the two guest ales was sour on my most recent visit, but it was quickly replaced by a fine pint of the other.
Noted closed in 2018.

A wonderful preserved interior with a tiny snug and a small bar at the front, and two lounge rooms served from a hatch. Very nicely decorated with the usual pictures and plates, but not to excess.

Edinburgh "Bug and Bite"

 |
A very well preserved traditional interior with a small front bar and two back lounges which are served through hatches from the back of the bar. I'm told the nickname is a reference to a clinic on the site which had poor hygiene standards! I've also heard it called "The Bug".

119 College Road / Sunnyside Road
 |
Endbutt

 |
The outside is an impressive half-timbered building. The inside is nicely done in traditional style and well cared for. The food is good and cheap, I'm told.

This small shop conversion is a rather well done upmarket cafe/bar.

George Hotel

 |
A rather splendid wood-panelled interior in this enormous knocked through one bar pub. Lights, glitter balls, etc. threaten a lot of noise later on, but it was comfortable and peaceful when I visited at five on a Friday in 2014, and pretty deserted on a Thursday in 2021.

La Barbacoa "The Barbie"

This up-market modern-styled bar/restaurant was very empty on a Thursday evening. The solitary hand pump with a Castle Eden clip was dispensing cleaning fluid.

Liverpool Pigeon

Reputed to be the first "micro-pub" in Merseyside, this place is a former shop in a parade. Inside there is one parquet-floored room with a tiny bar counter in the corner, from which a range of excellent ales is dispensed.
Oversized glasses for a full pint.
Reported closed in 2023.

Suburb 24 (Exchange) (Village)

I visited the Exchange on a Sunday afternoon to find the pub almost deserted despite plenty of TVs showing a Liverpool match. Not visited since it was refurbished and renamed as Village.
After a period of closure it was refurbished and renamed again in 2021.
