Pub · Liverpool
A proper Georgian Quarter local on Roscoe Street, this one earns its place with families for the afternoons rather than the evenings — go before the after-work crowd and there's plenty of room, with buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu sorted. The upstairs patio is the pick on a sunny day, and free parking takes one worry off the list. Prices are honest, portions of the pub snacks generous, and the peanut butter filled pretzels get properly rhapsodised about. Staff are warm and unhurried, happy to talk you through the cask ales. Two honest caveats: it's small, so it gets tight and loud of an evening, and Sunday nights bring a live jazz band that's brilliant but not a toddler setting. One visitor calls it a "hidden gem" — on a quiet afternoon, that's about right.
