Lion Tavern, Liverpool

It's hard to argue with the two previous reviewers, especially while sitting in the pub and drinking Liverpool Moorfields Mild (NBSS 4), but the pub lacks the little bit extra that gets a 9 or 10. The interior is one of the best, the beer is great, but there's a little bit of a smell, and the exterior is a little shabby. I know times are hard, and don't worry, I'm beating myself up as I write this. A definite 8 though.

A proper pub with a selection of rooms and a real old fashioned bar and, most importantly, excellent beers on offer. Just splendid.
