The best pub in Liverpool according to ECHO readers

The ECHO video team have been interviewing people on the streets of Liverpool this year to get their opinions on the best aspects of Liverpool and the Liverpool City Region.

Video reporters Alice Walker and Ian Croll compiled a list of questions including best area, best park, best restaurant and best pub.

When interviewing people in the city, there was one pub that came out on top above all the others.

Some incredible venues were mentioned, such as The Dispensary on Renshaw Street in the City Centre and The Liver Vaults on Gilead Street in Kensington.

But the pub that was recommended the most by interviewees was Peter Kavanagh’s on Egerton Street in the city centre.

Built in 1844, the ECHO previously reported how the Egerton Street boozer, which became a licensed “beer house” in 1854, has also been known as The Liver, The Liver Hotel, The Grapes, Peter’s Hotel and Peter’s during its long history.

It was given a famous and classical refit back in 1929 when Peter Kavanagh, himself, commissioned Scottish painter Eric Harald Macbeth Robertson to produce murals based on the work of Charles Dickens (scenes from The Pickwick Papers are in The Pickwick Room – the front room) and William Hogarth (scenes of drinking and merriment are in the Hogarth Room – the back room).

The pub has been beloved by people in Liverpool and beyond for generations. Of course, there were plenty of other venues that got a mention.

The full list of recommended pubs are as follows:

Peter Kavanagh’s
The Dispensary
