They gained a bit of a reputation in the city, for one reason or another
Long before the era of craft beers and designer cocktails, the people of Liverpool were well-acquainted with the experience of sipping room temperature beer in dimly-lit, smoke-filled pubs.
Eagle and Child One pub, the Eagle and Child, in Huyton was a name that always seems to crop up when the subject of rough pubs is mentioned. Situated on Liverpool Road, the "monster-sized" pub had an equally intimidating reputation. "I was in there once and they had a mouse racing track set up with everyone betting on these mice. It was all going well until some nutcase tried to eat all the mice for a bet and all hell broke loose. I never went in there much but apparently that was a normal night."
Jackie Dawson said: "Horrible dirty looking place, needs sorting out! It's an eyesore and gives a bad impression of our lovely city if you get off the train at Lime Street it's the first pub you see!" The Belgrave Hotel The Belgrave Hotel, on Bryanston Road in the St Michaels area of Aigburth, has remained tinned up and shut ever since a notorious underworld killing in 2011. Bahman Faraji, 44, was shot from point blank range after being lured outside the pub in the quiet St Michael's hamlet.
With its mock-Tudor style exterior, the Punch and Judy had a long and unusual layout with no less than three front doors. It was described on the Merseypub.com website as a popular and friendly, if "down market two-bar boozer," that sold cheap beer at £1.20 a pint.It's thought the pub took its name from the regular Punch and Judy shows that were staged by Lime Street Station by several generations of the Codman family up until the late 1950s.
The Inglenook pub on Ullet Road in Toxteth was built in the late 1960s close to the busy Aigburth Road. Anyone who had passed by the suburban, leafy Liverpool road would have been tempted to stop by the pub with its massive beer garden and seating at its rear.
