Hidden amongst a backstreet row
of Liverpool’s shops is the Swan. Its blue front and tiles makes it stand out
from the other buildings, though its metal shutter used protect the frontage
when it’s closed doesn’t exactly give the game away as to what kind of area it’s
in. It’s a small locals’ pub which is popular with rockers who aren’t exactly
welcoming to visitors, but it does have eight real ales on in great condition. There
is also a beautiful mural on the staircase which leads into the toilets. There’s
also an upstairs bar with a second jukebox, as well as bottled Belgium beers and
whiskies. The jukebox was a bit heavy metal for my liking, and on a longer trip
I might have offered my own playlist; but it was just a whistle-stop tour for a
quick half as we wanted to squeeze in a couple of other venues before our
return train home.
