Established since 1846, this listed building is one of the city's oldest public houses. The pub was a favourite of John and Cynthia Lennon in the 1960s, and the Beatles are portrayed on the hand painted mirror in the lounge area. Still very popular today, the pub's atmosphere is lively and friendly. Visitors will find many aspects of this old pub interesting, including the War Room, which is a small area once used for discussing manoeuvres during wartime. It is still home to heated debates today.
