Highlights

This isn’t a scripted, flag-following tour. It’s a relaxed pub walk led by someone who fell in love with Liverpool and never left. We visit carefully chosen pubs full of character, take the time, and let the conversations unfold naturally. Along the way, you’ll hear stories about the city, its people, and the kind of details you won’t find in guidebooks. It’s small, social, and easygoing by the end, it feels less like a tour and more like being shown around by a local. Drinks aren’t included, so you’re free to enjoy as much or as little as you like at each stop. All four pubs accept card payments.

Itinerary

  1. We begin our walk in a backstreet pub set within an 18th-century former warehouse in Liverpool’s historic Georgian Quarter. Since opening as a pub in 1981, it has become a long-standing hub for the city’s arts and cultural scene, attracting artists, musicians, academics, and students for over four decades.

    30 min

  2. A Liverpool institution famously linked to John Lennon and the city’s bohemian past. Ye Cracke has long been a meeting place for artists, musicians, and students — and still feels wonderfully untouched by time.

    30 min

  3. Hidden just off the main streets, The Belvedere is a beautifully preserved Victorian pub with stained glass, tiled walls, and a peaceful, timeless atmosphere — a quiet contrast to the city outside.

    30 min

  4. One of Liverpool’s most unique pubs, famous for its rare snob screens and richly decorated interior. Every corner has a story, and it’s the perfect place to end the walk surrounded by history and character.

About Liverpool

Liverpool is a maritime city on the River Mersey in north-west England, known for its docks, two cathedrals and as the birthplace of the Beatles.

Liverpool grew into a major world port in the 18th and 19th centuries, and the Pier Head still shows it: the Royal Liver Building and its two neighbours, together called the Three Graces, stand side by side above the Mersey. Behind them lies the Albert Dock, a former warehouse complex of red brick and iron columns that now holds galleries, shops and the Merseyside Maritime Museum.

Top-ranked sights in Liverpool: Liverpool Cathedral, Strawberry Field, Penny Lane.
