Due to open this coming Friday if they get the place cleaned up in time.

Another good ale pub back in the fold.

Mmmmmmm !

Or just one ' M', will do

Good news indeed!

It looked as though it was open last Saturday when I went past maybe they were just doing a clean up.

Still cleaning the place up. Been shut since 2004.

There's an article on the Echo website, but I can't paste it for some reason.

See if you can lift it.

Can't be arsed. Opening for Ladies Day, and since loads come out of Moorfields it could be a cracking start for them if they do open on time.

Oh and i've put the M in for you...

If only walls could talk. There's been some trade union agreements, Japanese bank deals and council officer promotions conceived, contrived and conspired within those walls in years gone by.

I'd never have said it had been closed that long.

I remember the last time i was in there and it doesn't seem that long.Where does the time go?

Ryde-On · « **Reply #12 on:** March 31, 2009, 05:25:32 pm »

Got a few mates interested in this now....can't wait for Friday!

Ryde-On · « **Reply #13 on:** March 31, 2009, 05:25:55 pm »

I know it's no longer the same owners, but they used to do dead nice food in there too.

Too right. Was our regular stop for pre-match scran for midweek games.

I walked past on Saturday and it looked derelict mind. Some serious work to be done there.

Apparently gonna be Tuesday now....they haven't got the water turned on yet!

ianfb25 · « **Reply #16 on:** April 4, 2009, 01:50:07 am »

Thought it still looked fucked this morning like!!

Big Red Richie · « **Reply #17 on:** April 23, 2009, 09:24:24 pm »

I was in the Vernon earlier today.
Looks ok, although I was never one of it's regular patrons before it closed in 2004 ( ? ) so I can't remember what the interior looked like before it's previous demise.

The ale was fine enough though.

I only came in to reprimand you in the case of any horrendous puns.

Ok. As you were.

Walked past the Vernon last week, looked nice inside but they only had 1 pump on which put us off going in. Ended up in the Railway (which has also been done up) and had a lovely pint of Hobgoblin.

Will definately check the Vernon out next chance I get. Probably won't have a choice really seeing as my mate used to drink there before it closed and never stops banging on about it.

GoldenGloves25 · « **Reply #21 on:** April 25, 2009, 12:06:41 pm »

Was in there last nite with the inlaws, its been what three years since it shut. Exellent little pub in town, had some dark matter ale. spot on. Nice to get away from the whoppers about that part of town.

kesey · « **Reply #22 on:** October 19, 2009, 02:31:21 pm »

Finally got round to going yesterday. Drinking Oragnic IPA which was nice. There again for 3.00 a pint I should fuckin think so.

AlphaDelta · « **Reply #23 on:** October 21, 2009, 05:24:10 pm »

Not a fan of the place, ale too expensive and cant get used to that wonky floor - plus if you sit at a table, everytime a train goes past underneath the place it feels like your having convulsions! Best place on Dale Street is the Ship & Mitre!

Top pub, loads of good real ales always available. The Ship was also the winner of Camra's Liverpool & districts pub of the year 2009.

If it's the Liverpool Organic IPA then it is due to being 6.5% and not the average 4% most beers are. Costs a shed load more of excise duty.

Gang of Mancs in there when the match was on, apparently.

CHOPPER · « **Reply #27 on:** October 6, 2023, 10:59:37 pm »

Been told it’s closing down January 6th.

Terrible news.

Red Beret · « **Reply #28 on:** October 6, 2023, 11:58:49 pm »

This is the one on Dale Street yeah? I thought it had already closed down and reopened in the past few years? Will be a shame to lose it, and rather odd too - it's a fairly active area for pubs.

Wabaloolah · « **Reply #29 on:** October 10, 2023, 11:54:59 pm »

Oh no, was in there bank holiday weekend when in town and it's always one of the pubs we go to, always got a great welcome in there.

A real shame

AlphaDelta · « **Reply #30 on:** October 11, 2023, 09:18:46 am »

Shame that, its always busy in there, decent little boozer and quirky with that sloping floor.

ToneLa · « **Reply #31 on:** November 15, 2023, 07:30:17 pm »

A confusingly sloped wooden floor and a high ceiling. The counter itself is dead level, but your table slopes with the floor. The excellent ales include a wide range of guests, with six available when I visited. After being closed for five years, they re-opened in April 2009 with almost no changes apart from a good redecorating job. The food, basic pub fare, looks good.
Having noted the place boarded up during the first lockdown I was pleased to find it open again in July 2020.
Last visited December 2022.

I was chatting to the man behind the bar last night. HOPEFULLY not closing now. They always have looked after the beer well and pull a nice pint.

Hope that's right....mad that it's even under threat...always been - and still is - one of the most popular boozers in the business side of town

Is it a sign of getting old, growing to like wonky floors?

Yep someone who has worked there in the past (or now) is taking it on.

It's one of the stalwarts for the local CAMRA LocAle scheme and hopefully they will be trying to have on more.

Time will tell.

CornerFlag · « **Reply #39 on:** January 17, 2024, 10:52:15 am »

Never been in but always past it on the bus on the way to work, always notice the gold writing on the second floor. Seems like the sort of place that should be kept going regardless, looks just like how any traditional boozer should.
