The Corner Tavern could not be more typical of the pubs in and around the Prescott road and…read moreKensington area. From the outside it does not look to promising and it is the same old story inside this public house. The atmosphere is quite flat in here and as with most Kensington pubs people who are not from the area normally receive a lower level of customer service than those who are. This kind of attitude is like a throwback to olden times when people were scared of outsiders and indeed change in general. The service here is slow and the beer is not the best in the world but then again the prices aren't too bad so you get what you pay for I suppose. On the whole this pub is not somewhere I would recommend unless you are in desperate need of a pint and don't mind a frosty reception.

This could and should be the best pub in Old Swan. It holds a major position sitting on one of the…read morebusiest junction and you cannot fail to notice it when passing through, strange then that this potential giant has been closed as much as open over the last ten years. Despite numerous make overs it is devoid of character, possibly one of the most expensive pubs in 'The Swan' and sadly just doesn't seem to do the business.- Suggestions on a beer mat please!!!!! All points are awarded for past memories and a great building which could be a great pub.

Which Old Swan came first? Was the area named after this pub? Or did the area name come first and…read moreall the pubs clamoured to nab the name first in order to make themselves seem more central to the neighbourhood? Whatever the reason was (none of the ones I've mentioned), the Old Swan's name makes it seem drained of originality. This is an average enough pub with a good menu and a ceiling claustrophobically low. I wouldn't want to come here post-dusk but in the daytime it can provide a handy distraction from outdoorland.

The Old Swan pub is situated on the crossroads in the heart of the Old Swan area. i don't know…read morewhich was named after which but its irrelevant. The pub looks quite large from the outside, and this is probably the case as far as floor space goes, but inside seems a lot smaller due to the low ceilings. The staff are friendly and have good knowledge of what drinks and food are on offer. The bar is extensive and the food menu is inexpensive and caters for a range of tastes and needs. The seating is comfortable and makes you want to stay a little longer before heading outside again. The pub is decent enough but it just doesn't stand out from the many similar pubs in the area. Its a good place for a quick quiet drink but I personally wouldn't consider it for a nigh out.

Knocked through into one big chamber means there's more room for people to gather and make a din, I suppose. Don't get me wrong, while not exactly a family-friendly tavern of whimsy, the Flat House still didn't feel all that dangerous, unlike some of the other pubs on the West Derby stretch. Stood at the quiz machine with my back to the rest of the pub felt odd though, like standing facing away from an erupting volcano or the Pamplona Bull Run. I had to keep turning round to make sure none of that stuff was happening. Luckily, it wasn't.

Situated off the beaten track of Picton High Street (emphasis on the word 'beaten') means the…read moreEdinburgh can remain a comfortingly traditional pub, as opposed to nearby boozers which feel like poorly-renovated smack dens. With its ramshackle furniture cluttering the back room, green leather benches skirting the walls and resident little doggy scratching its rear on the underside of the tables, there's a gratifying rusticity to the Edinburgh. The place feels well lived-in, yet in good nick. The fact the said leather upholstery isn't patched and slashed to buggery makes me think that this is solely a haunt of the non-thuggish.

Secondly, it's the local of the first murderer who ever shouted across the room asking me what a cockatiel was. What a whimsical place. To be fair, the Glasshouse is a scruffily pleasant pub. Sure the locals are all mad, the toilets smell like a camping site shower-block and the CD will skip more than a small girl with some rope but I liked it. Maybe it had something to do with the flurry of mirrors lining every wall, making the place seem enormous and giving me plenty of opportunities to flirt with my reflection.
