"A great old-fashioned pub." Miscellaneous Tip by planxty

Readers of my other pages will know that I am fond of a pint now and again and I am passionate about old-fashioned British pubs and the appalling rate at which they are closing. See my Dead Pubs society travelogue on my London page for an example of this. It was with genuine pleasure therefore that I happened upon the Crown Hotel directly beside Lime Street train station.

As the photograph hopefully portrays, it is architecturally a beautiful building in, I am led to believe, the Art Nouveau style. I know nothing about such things but I have it on good authority that this is what it is. Recently (in 2008) it was refurbished by the brewers Mitchell and Butler and they seem to have done a good job. Inside, it is no less impressive, although my photographic attempts there foundered somewhat, so you will just have to take my word for it.

The staff were friendly, the pint well served and although I did not eat here, the menu seemed to have some good deals on food.

Definitely worth a visit.
