Today (August 1) marks International Beer Day, offering the perfect excuse to enjoy some tasty pints and visit Liverpool’s best boozers.
The Good Beer Guide, which surveys 4,500 pubs, is considered to be the ‘definitive beer drinker’s guide’ for those seeking the best pints in the nation’s pubs and is published annually by The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA). More than 70 pubs in Merseyside feature in the latest edition.
In honour of International Beer Day 2025, we have scoured the list and picked out 13 of our favourite pubs in and around Liverpool city centre. Take a look through our photo gallery to see 13 of the Liverpool pubs listed in the CAMRA guide – and find out why they were included.
13. The Red Lion, Slater Street
The Red Lion is a cosy pub in the heart of Liverpool. CAMRA said: “This traditional pub was converted from a terraced house in 2020 by the same owner as the Green Man in Lark Lane and the Vines (aka Big House) on Lime Street. Hanging knick-knacks, low lighting , bare walls and wooden panels all help create the atmosphere, and there is an interior courtyard and a games room." | The Red Lion
