| Casa Del Cocodrilo (Famous Elephant) |
John Smith's / 1664, Foster's, San Miguel |
The Famous Elephant:
Before its refurbishment in late 1998 this was a large lively one bar pub with a nice interior and some fine ale. Afterwards the nice interior remained but the ale had gone - The pub was now aiming at the younger market, with plenty of lager and only keg bitter, although there were still two hand pumps on the bar.
In 2007 this became Casa Del Cocodrillo, a rather posh restaurant/bar, retaining and improving on the interior. The elephant pub sign remains outside, I'm told it is listed.

| Cello's (Chardonay's) (Cafe 49a) |
John Smith's / 1664, Foster's, Miller |
Although branded as a cafe bar this is really just another pub with a Friday night disco. The inside is like a barn, with iron roof beams and a wooden floor. Three different names, but the place remains exactly the same, with an odd lack of atmosphere.

Boddingtons, John Smith's / Budweiser (US) |
A rather plain interior, lacking in atmosphere. Reputed to be the oldest pub in Liverpool - The building is dated 1641.

| English Rose |
Falstaff, Tetley |
The interior of this curved building seems much smaller than the outside would suggest. A pleasant lounge and a bar with LSTV and dart board. A large room forms the "cool cubs club" play area. Feasting Fox food.

Originally a function room behind the Famous Elephant, then an Italian restaurant called Il Bambino Elephanti, and now a Twin-Peaks themed whiskey bar and grill, I'm told.
Not visited.

| Negresco Deco (Coach and Horses) |
John Smith's / 1664, Foster's, San Miguel |
The Coach and Horses was a large pub which seemed to drift over time from up-market to a pool hall full of kids.
Negresco Deco, on the other hand, is a very posh piano bar/restaurant with dark, atmospheric decor and a nice black and white tiled floor in the bar area.

Partly knocked through but retaining a separate front room, the interior of this one bar local is nicely done out with wood panelling.

Boddingtons |
A very pleasant quiet one bar pub. The fake decor is particularly well done. Hidden downstairs is a large, nicely decorated disco/function room which has a late licence on Friday nights, when it is busy with a mixed clientele. The above was written in October '98. A more recent Friday night visit found the downstairs closed and the upstairs with a disco and a late licence very lively and popular.

Cains, guests |
Nice decor perhaps a little over cluttered with horse brasses and the like in this busy friendly pub with one bar plus two small side areas. Friendly staff serving fine ales.
