Topic: Help needed - finding a pub in liverpool

[Port_vale_lad]

Bit of help needed here.
We came down to liverpool a couple of months ago for a stag weekend,had a cracking weekend as well.We ended up on the sunday afternoon in a great little pub right in the city centre (i think) and i cant find it again,even spent hours on the google street view and still cant find it.If anyone from round liverpool can help me out it would be greatly appreciated.

The pub in question has like a large outside out the back of said pub surrounded by a large wall,Inside the pub was all wooden benches and seats and im pretty certain loads of guest ales as well(cant be 100% about the guest ales as was really pissed by then but we were drinking something funky) anyway the last pub we were in was the hogs head so it cant be far from mathew street

The reason im asking is we have another jolly boys outing planned for a birthday in a few weeks and would love to find it again,im sorry for starting a new post but surely if anyone knows where im talking about its someone on here,Pretty sure il know the pub if i see it

Wouldn't be the Crocodile would it? Just round the corner from what used to be the Hogshead. Pretty big area outside and down the side.
It is on Harrington St i think and apparently near to the Pen & Wig lappy bar (someone told me).

How big was the smoking area, and what kind of seating did it have?

Its quite big,sure it just had white round tables,could of been metal seats
cheers for the list will look them up

[Big Red Richie]

I've got a quite extensive photo archive of over 700 Liverpool pubs.

I'll start throwing a few pub outside courtyards/ smoking areas at you.



Shout when you spot it.

Rigby's/ Lady of Mann, share the same courtyard.

[gregor]

Sounds like Rigby's to me.

Big red richie - cheers for the help mate,but im more confused now than ever
ran through some google images and going off the list of pubs you posted i was 100% sure it was rigby's.but that bottom photo you posted looks nothing like what i remember,has it changed in the last couple of months?Was sure the courtyard at the back was surrounded by a white wall

[Jonathan Hall ☆☆☆☆☆]

Possibly the cornmarket?

Not a massive outside but is surrounded by three walls.

[Livbes]

Sounds like Rigby's to me.

Same here.

[gregor]

To be honest, even if you can't find the place you're after then Rigby's isn't a bad place at all to spend a sunny afternoon.

[Jonathan Hall ☆☆☆☆☆]

Sounds like Rigby's to me.

Wooden tables though not white (unless they've changed them), not that i can remember what the tables are like in The Cornmarket. Mind Cornmarket doesn't have a lot of ales...

[Big Red Richie]

Not a massive outside but is surrounded by three walls.

Sounds spot on.

[rednich85]

Peacocks?

from the drunken memories I'd say it sounds like the cornmarket too

[Big Red Richie]

Three from Rigby's.

[Big Red Richie]

Cornmarket.

I used to have a flat above Rigby's, nice place to live.  There's a courtyard out back and the pub itself is nice n cosy.

I usually drink in the Vernon these days.  Nice little place a few doors further up that shows most of the Liverpool games.

Ended up in the Vernon last season for the Villa game I think.

Usual place let me down and really liked it in there.

Great little alehouse

[MainStandIsBoss]

The floor in the Vernon is that slanty though it is hard to know if you are pissed or just have bad balance....or usually both

[Red Beret]

Yeah the floor does make you feel like you're on the Titanic a bit!  But the back room's good and all.

CSI RAWK never solved my "Guitar on William Hills, Aigburth Rd mystery though.
