Banjo
|
Refurbished and re-opened in early 2000 after a period when it was boarded up, this pleasant open one bar pub in a bull-nosed building was spotlessly clean and still smelled of paint when I visited in February 2000. Returning in 2003 I found it was still looking very nice, and the green decor matches the pool table!
Reported closed in 2014.

Bradley's Wine Bar (Pacific) "Maxie's Bar"

Now closed.

Brick (Prince Albert) "Red Brick"
|
This clean and tidy plain boozer has a small counter in a large knocked through room with a wooden floor. There was a nice model of a Liverpool Tram above the bar but it seems to have disappeared.
2007: Nicely redecorated outside in a cream colour and renamed - You can't call it the Red Brick any more.
2010: Noted closed in November.
2018: Back in action, clean, tidy and well looked after.

I believe this is now closed.

Carisbrooke Road / Harlech Street

Chepstow Castle

A plain nicely decorated knocked through one bar pub with friendly staff. The music, too noisy when I visited in 2004, was much quieter in 2018 and again in 2024. Very busy before and after Everton matches.

Halfway House (Half Way House) (Dickie Lewis's) (New Halfway House)

Visiting when it was part of the Dickie Lewis chain, I found a plain spotless two-sided boozer, nicely decorated and well cared for. More recently, as the Halfway House, the description remains the same.

Walton Road / Archer Street
|
Hangman (Bank Hall Hotel)
|
The large signs outside gave the impression that this was a cafe - so much so that on my first visit to the area I didn't bother to go in! On my second attempt, in 2000, I found a friendly pub full of boisterous locals playing pool. The dingy interior was somewhat faded but still retained some fine glasswork, tiling and ceiling plasterwork. The John Smith's tasted off - presumably the regulars all drank lager. Three years later I returned to find it is just a cafe now. Closed.
Last visited 2000.

Bankhall Street / Brasenose Road
|
Harlech Castle
|
This rather nicely decorated and well cared for pub with wooden ceiling beams has two sides around a square counter. In 2009, on a Saturday evening at six the music was deafening - We made our excuses and left. More recently it was a lot more peaceful.

In 1999 I described this large one-roomed pub as plain and rather smoky. Returning in 2003 I found it had been very nicely redecorated. The "school hall" parquet floor is nicely polished. LSTV.

A plain, pleasant, well looked after curved public bar, plus a lounge served from a small counter at the end of the bar, and a small back room with only a tiny hatch. By the time of my second visit, in 2003, the lounge and back room were out of use. Now closed and demolished.

Player's (Orry's)
|
Orrys: This "Cafe Wine Bar" is very nicely done out, looking trendy and up market. The front room is noisy and busy with plenty of TVs for sport while the back part is more relaxed and comfortable. Function room upstairs. The whole place can get a bit lively after Everton matches.
Player's in 2018: More recently it's a plain well looked after boozer.
2024: Looks like it's closed.

Royal Oak

This large pub with a four-sided counter has plain pastel-coloured decor and a nice tiled and wooden floor. LSTV. It can be rather grubby after a home match - Watch out for the broken glass - but is much more pleasant at other times.

County Road / Spellow Lane

Saddle Inn
|
What a gem! A traditional pub building containing an extremely well looked after two room pub with some fine original features including tiled corridor walls and a wood and stained glass partition. The lounge is served from a hatch across the corridor. In 2003 this was standing alone in waste ground, now houses surround it.

Stanley Arms (Sportsmans) (Dickie Lewis's)
|
A very large knocked through two-sided pleasant pub, popular with Everton fans before matches despite once being owned by former Liverpool player Ronnie Whelan. A large beer garden includes a football pitch and swings for the kids.
I am guessing that its last name was probably also the original name? Now closed and demolished.
Last visited 2004.

Westminster Road / Leighton Street

Stanley Park "Blue House"
|
A plain functional and slightly grubby two bar boozer adjacent to Goodison. Very much a toffees' pub, even the pool table has blue baize. I'm told it closed in 2008.

Tramway

A plain, well cared for and spotlessly clean two bar local. The model tram over the TV seemed to have been purloined from the "Melbourne Hotel", their own one was at the other end of the bar!

Victoria Hotel
|
As we approached on a Wednesday evening in 1999 this large corner house appeared boarded up. As we got nearer we realised the steel shutters were down on all the windows. Closer still and the door was seen to be open. Not a very inviting appearance! Returning four years later we found the same shuttered exterior. The interior, on the other hand, is nicely done out with a clean and tidy bar side, and a posh lounge side.
Now closed.

Wetherspoon's Thomas Frost
|
A large open pub with a long mainly-glass frontage on to County Road. Wetherspoon's usual fine beer. On at least one occasion they have run out of real ale on a Saturday evening, but that was a good few years ago.
I must add a note of congratulations to the staff for providing very prompt and efficient service on a number of recent visits despite the pub being packed after an Everton match. More recently I discovered it is equally busy after a game at Anfield.

Two-sided pub with a very pleasant bar with an LSTV, and a larger lounge side with a disco. Very lively and a great atmosphere in the evening on match days. This spent a period closed but is now back in action, only on match days I think.
