The city centre institution has been named Merseyside's best pub by a national paper
Being named the best pub in Merseyside is no mean feat. When it comes to pubs, our region boasts strength in depth that other areas could only dream of - as the ECHO's recent series on best pub crawls has highlighted.
The Roscoe Head is a fine pub and deserves its praise from The Telegraph. One of the oldest in the city, it opened as a pub back in the 1830s and its name commemorates Liverpool historian, poet and leading campaigner for the abolition of slavery - William Roscoe. Landlady Carol Ross' family have worked at the pub for the past 40 years and Carol herself battled for a decade to take it out of the hands of companies who may have closed it, as The Telegraph noted.
"The tradition is being kept. Ten years ago, that was when we did our biggest refurb and customers were asked if they wanted music then and the answer was a stern no.
