Raise a glass to these gone but not forgotten Liverpool pubs.
Liverpool is home to a number of fantastic traditional watering holes, however, many much-loved venues are sadly no more. These pubs either stand empty or have been demolished but for many will always evoke happy times or a sense of community and belonging.
Yet, with the cost of living crisis showing no signs of ending and energy bills still skyrocketing we are in danger of losing more.
Over the years, we’ve seen many much-loved pubs close their doors but they’ve not been forgotten. Here, we show you some of the city’s favourite pubs that are no longer open for a pint.
