Blackburne Arms

Our Take

Georgian Quarter gem that earns its place as one of Liverpool's finest traditional pubs through sheer consistency and character. The outdoor space is a genuine sun trap in warmer months, while the well-kept real ales and no-nonsense pub atmosphere make it the kind of place locals return to weekly rather than occasionally. Situated in the heart of the Georgian Quarter between Liverpool's two cathedrals, afternoon sessions here come with some of the city's finest architecture as backdrop — though the crowd is too unpretentious to mention it. The kind of pub where ordering just a pint and sitting in the garden for two hours is not just acceptable but actively the point. Liverpool's answer to the neighbourhood pub that everyone wishes was on their street.
