Eagle and Child "Bird & Bastard" |
Now closed. This large pub had a history of trouble going back to fights between US and British servicemen during the last war. (Other sources say the tensions were between black and white G.I.s) More recently, it was well known for serving free scouse to get round the Sunday licensing laws. It also spent a period of time as two separate operations in the one building. Closed down for the last time in about 1995, and demolished June 1998, the site is now a small retail estate.

This large pub by the roundabout had a nicely decorated lounge, looking a little worn in places. The hand pumps never seemed to be on, and later disappeared.
Now closed, and converted to food outlets.

Knotty Ash
|
Historically the "posh" pub in Knotty Ash, but when I visited in 1998 I described it as being somewhat faded.
2003: It has been totally re-modelled since then, however, and if you ignore the awful pastel green and blue exterior and go inside you'll find some extremely nice decor with a pale wood floor in the bar side and traditional carpet and wooden panelling in the knocked through lounge.
2009: The outside's got its proper colour back and the interior remains very pleasant throughout.
Closed in 2011.

A terrific small multi-roomed pub with wooden beams inside and a beer garden at the back. A real locals' boozer.

Toby Carvery Stoneycroft (Queens Drive)
|
Absolutely enormous food-oriented place with a pleasant well-done interior. Despite the name, there is an area inside for drinkers, and a number of people had come in for a pint. The three handpumps offered Doom Bar, Doom Bar or Doom Bar but it was in good nick so who's complaining?

Wheatsheaf

A nice old pub, well preserved, with etched windows advertising the long defunct Knotty Ash Ales. Very nicely decorated throughout. The lounge side has no direct access to a counter. Tables out front.
