The Aigburth Arms pub in Liverpool has undergone a major renovation, reopening with a fresh look and new amenities. The pub, known as the birthplace of the sci-fi sitcom 'Red Dwarf', has been transformed with updated flooring, lighting, toilets, bar, furniture, and a new children's play area. The beer garden has also been expanded, making it an even more popular spot for locals and visitors.
Louise Delaney's start to life running the Aigburth Arms was far from easy. The 43-year-old from Huyton took over as manager at the pub on March 20, 2020 - the day that then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson told the UK's hospitality businesses they must close to help the fight against coronavirus . Looking back at that time, she told the ECHO : 'I opened the pub and then closed the pub in the same day - so that wasn't great.
Baby Lister was found here and the show was written on beer mats in the Aigburth Arms - it's great.' The venue has also just reopened following an extensive renovation . £150,000 was spent by owners Blind Tiger Inns to transform every single area of the pub, from the flooring to the lighting, toilets, bar and furniture. It now has an added children's play area, as well as more seating available in the beer garden.
