LISCARD

Pub	Beer	Comments	Location
27 Club		Sports and social club. Not visited.	Manor Road / Grosvenor Street
Boot	Boddingtons, Trophy	A nice large one bar pub. LSTV. "Friar Tuck's Fayre" food looks good value. Last visited 1999.	Wallasey Road / Liscard Grove
Bowls and Snooker Club		Not visited.	Manor Road / Belgrave Street
Old Manor Club		Not visited.	Withens Lane / Brookthorpe Close
Pool Inn	Cains, Greenalls, Tetley / Carling	A nicely done out two bar pub with an unusual double-sided gents. Last visited 1999.	Poulton Road / Poulton Bridge Road
Primrose Hotel	Cains, Greenalls / Foster's, Heineken, Stella	Nice old decor and an enormous fireplace in this two room pub. Last visited 1998.	Withens Lane / Greenwood Lane
Queens	John Smith's, John Smith's / Foster's	The interior decor is a throwback to the seventies while the clientele are a throwback to the stone age. The staff were unable to provide a lemonade with any fizz in it for my driver when we visited. Last visited 1999.	Liscard Village
Royal Oak		Refurbished in June 1999. Refurbished again in 2006 but reported as CLOSED in 2007. Not visited.	Liscard Village
Saddle	guests, Tetley, John Smith's / Foster's, Stella	A large traditionally styled knocked round bar at the front, and two restaurant rooms at the rear. The pub is well cared for, as are the real ales. Last visited 2004.	30 Withens Lane / Trinity Road
Stanley's		Not visited.	83 Seaview Road
Tower	Worthington	Nice enough but a bit noisy in the wood-floored bar side. The lounge looks pleasant as well. There is a pleasing lack of brewery promotional material on the walls. The Worthington Creamflow was flat when I visited. Last visited 1999.	Mill Lane / Liscard Way
Wellington	Boddingtons, Flowers	A large knocked through pub with umpteen pool tables. Nice wood panelling and a tiled floor. The signs "Girls Toilet" and "Boys Toilet" indicate the target age group. I desperately wanted to criticise this youth oriented pool hall but it's actually very nice! Last visited 1999.	Wallasey Road / Liscard Way
Wetherspoon's Clairville	usuals	Formerly a NETTO supermarket, I'm told, this large open pub is nicely decorated in slightly quirky modern style. Last visited 2004.	Wallasey Road / St Albans Road
