The Grapes on the corner of Roscoe Street Street is something of a hidden gem, although I do remember going in there a very long time ago and being served keg Higsons from an electric pump hidden behind a handpump.<br /><br />TM: yes, we're lucky in Liverpool in that so many decent pubs remain and are unspoilt. Lots of memories too.Neville Grundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10923209266005338452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285162121291357473.post-65960871328596383722014-01-15T12:10:31.261+00:002014-01-15T12:10:31.261+00:00So many of my old haunts Nev.

It stinks and the real ale is foul. Shame, as it has historic significance.

It's still mainly used by Empire Theatre/Carling Academy punters and people waiting for a train. The 'little' Grapes on Knight St should be on this list but let's keep that a secret for us discerning drinkers.Tom Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285162121291357473.post-38925158704646775652014-01-15T09:11:16.084+00:002014-01-15T09:11:16.084+00:00I went in a pub in Liverpoool once on quiz night. ...I went in a pub in Liverpoool once on quiz night. |The first question was "What you looking at?"<br /><br />Further questions included "Do you want a passport or driving licence" and "Do you want some drugs?"<br /><br />Cooking Lagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830924433230427226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285162121291357473.post-75826577680388085072014-01-15T09:08:39.737+00:002014-01-15T09:08:39.737+00:00Is Ma Egerton's the pub round the back of the ...Is Ma Egerton's the pub round the back of the Empire?
