  • Here is the collection of all the City Centre pubs in Liverpool. As it stands 2015 there are 96 still survive. There were over a hundred watering holes a few years back but like so many others fall victim to supermarkets, cheap off licenses, high rent, the smoking ban or torched or demolished. Liverpool has some superb pubs, so next time your in town leave the missus shopping & nip in for a quick half to keep them alive....

      I left Liverpool in 2001.
      Were the Skylarks band still playing at the Lennon’s bar?
      I loved the Shenanigans, and liked the Magnet, the Jacaranda and a few Irish pubs such as the Peter Kavanagh’s.

      Thanks very much Lyn for your nice comment!.... This vid was done in Jan 2015 and in just over two years quite a few of these have either closed or been demolished sadly. Music wise i had to use Liverpool band Shack as it just fitted perfect to a nicely chilled video. You from Liverpool yourself? Dave xx

      @LynSmithmusic Před 7 lety +1

      Hiya Dave. Yes, from Liverpool and there every couple of weeks, but based in Colchester at the mo. Devastated to hear a lot more have gone, but sign of the times, same all over the country. Nobody goes to pubs really, any more, they sit indoors and play video games and watch Netflix with a bottle of wine from Bargain Booze LOL sad. Very sad. I've decided to do an art exhibition about it. if you know anyone who would like to be interviewed (hopefully in one of the ones that has not been demolished) about any stories, funny, sad, just interesting, about old pubs, let me know. Coming to Liverpool every couple of weeks or so to a bit more research each time. You video is just wonderful though, Dave. I've never heard that song before, which makes the vid more interesting. It is so beautiful, as you say, chilled out. (fillin up now! Getting too emtotional he he bye for now. L

    I worked in the Cunarder next door to the city pets shop from 1982 to 1984 , great times , then again I was only 22 in 1982 ! Best thing about working in a pub in those days were chatting the girls up , free drinks , good tips and a juke box full of decent songs ! The star and garter in st John's precinct was another good pub . I actually managed that for 2 weeks in 1983 😊

      Best place for pubs is if you head towards the Bombed out Church ( Hardman Street ) and they are in and around there. Dale Street is also good for pubs, you will find them on a map on your phone. Good luck, have one on me ;)

    Since this Video was released in 2015, The Beehive in Paradise Street has beer refurbished, inside and out, and changed its Landlord and name to the Futurist in 2023. This, as an ex regular guest when in town, I know for sure. Seeing as it is now 2024, that's 9 years after this compliation, I expect this list of wonderful Liverpudlian Pubs has become sadly even shorter!

    • @BillyBigTop
      @BillyBigTop  Před 8 lety +1

      +Aubrey Reynolds A lot of people ask me this, I would say a pub is more of a traditional free house, plus the decor makes a big impact as well and also depending on age can define a pub! most new pubs today are bistros that specialise more in food than drink! IE old blind school....

    Bogus count. There are far more pubs. You showed one in Slater street and two in Matthew Street and Great Charlotte streets, for example, when the whole streets are lined with pubs, even in view on some of the pictures (you showed O'Briens and didn't mention the Jacaranda next door which is in the picture). Odd.

    • @BillyBigTop
      @BillyBigTop  Před rokem

      There called bars, since when was the jacaranda ever a pub? Hence the name jacaranda bar! If you don’t know the difference between a bar & a pub I’d lay off the Carling 😉
