My roving reporter Steve has sent me a text to say that the famous Vernon pub in Dale Street, Liverpool, has reopened with 6 handpumps after a long closure. There were five beers on offer when he visited: Adnams, Brains Rev. James, Skinners Cornish Knocker, Baltic Fleet Wapping and Baltic Fleet stout. His verdict: well worth a visit. It's about 5 minutes walk from Moorfields Station.

The first pub I ever went to in Liverpool. It was sad to see it close. I walked past it two and a half weeks ago and it didn't look like reopening was imminent, but I'm obviously wrong. Nice that Wapping beers feature too.
ReplyDeleteI agree and I'm glad they haven't gone for the obvious, such as Deuchars, Theakstons, etc. I hope to get there soon.
ReplyDeleteGood news RedNev. We are overdue a Liverpool crawl I reckon.
ReplyDeleteHurrah! Good news indeed. Let's hope it's well supported. Fond memories of that sloping floor, which I hope is still there, akin to that of 'The Globe' - another one of RedNev's faves.
ReplyDeleteA favourite bolt-hole for me when I worked in Dale Street, and Bankers could still walk the streets without being subject to verbal abuse!
Good news indeed. I knew this was reopening and, like you, am glad they've avoided going for the usual suspects.
ReplyDeleteTHis is fantastiic news! I just hope that they haven't lost the old atmosphere of political skull duggery. It was dripping from the walls
ReplyDeleteTM - and anyone else - I'm always up for a Liverpool pub crawl.
