The latest edition of the Good Food Guide’s 100 Best Pubs ranking has been released, with no Liverpool venues making the list.
Despite this, we know our city certainly isn’t short of fantastic watering holes and have taken a look at the latest edition of drinker's bible The Good Beer Guide to celebrate ten venues that deserve recognition.
While the Good Food Guide’s ranking focuses on venues that serve food, we have looked at pubs in general.
Take a look below at ten of the wonderful pubs featured in the Good Beer Guide and see what CAMRA thinks makes them special.
9. The Vines, Lime Street
CAMRA said: "Rebuilt in 1907 as a Cains pub, the Vines, like its sister pub the Philharmonic, is one of the great show pubs of the country, and is rated three stars on CAMRA’s National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors. The harvest-themed plasterwork in the smoke-room was created by sculptor Walter Gilbert 1908. The plasterwork and glass in the other room are the work of Henry Gustave Hiller. Refurbished in 2023 after a period of decline, it has reintroduced cask beer." | The Vines via Instagram
10. The Dispensary, Renshaw Street
CAMRA said: "This lively city pub is a haven for real ale drinkers of all ages. The attractive bar area has Victorian features, and there is a raised wood-panelled area to the rear. Originally called the Grapes (the old sign is behind the bar), it was completed redesigned as a Cains tied pub, but now is leased out as a free house. An outside food stall and tables are available." | User calflier001 via Wikimedia
