Asset of Community Value

Mock Tudor exterior and retains a number of good Birkenhead Brewery etched windows (some original). Retains two rooms but the left hand one could have been two rooms original as it retains two 1930s fireplaces and right hand one has 'Bar Parlour' and 'Smoke Room' windows. There is a stone and 1930s brick fireplace with a stone (garland?), some 1930s fixed seating, inter-war leaded 'Lavatory' window in gents' door but the bar counter looks modern. Opens at 4pm.
