Please tell me where the Vat & Fiddle is in relation to Lime St station as I'm going to Liverpool in about 2 weeks.
Not sure I'd choose it over the Vat and Fiddle which is only a short walk away from the station anyway and more of a "proper pub", but the Beerheadz just outside Nottingham station is certainly very conveniently located for a quick drink

There's no real ale and it attracts a rowdy middle aged clientele who like cheap lager and bad karaoke!
Is there such a thing as good karaoke? I thought karaoke was bad by definition.

It's in Nottingham, hence my comment comparing it to Beerheadz...
Like you, I last went in 15 years or so ago. It was awful and I vowed never again. Will give it another go in view of your report.
The first quote had been talking about the Crown in Liverpool, then you came back with your post and well I just put the Vat and Fiddle in Liverpool. Must cut down on Zeplin as I think I'm getting Dazed and Confused.Not sure I'd choose it over the Vat and Fiddle which is only a short walk away from the station anyway and more of a "proper pub", but the Beerheadz just outside Nottingham station is certainly very conveniently located for a quick drink
Cracking pub. So much choice around Nottingham station these days. Vat and Fiddle, Canal House and Barley Twist all excellent!It's in Nottingham, hence my comment comparing it to Beerheadz...

Is the Vat and Fiddle the white pub that you can see from Beerheadz?
Thanks - sounds like a trip to Looe is called for!!
After drinking in all those pubs, that’s exactly where you’ll be heading to!
Just opposite Lime Street (in St Johns Lane opposite the gardens behind St George's Hall) is Doctor Duncans. A while since I went in but the beer used to be good (Cains as was); the architecture is even better, being a former insurance building resplendent in amazing tiles and wood panelling.Yes, it's definitely not in Liverpool!
I now regularly go to The Crown on the corner of Lime Street and Skelhorne Street. It's a lot better since it had a refurb 12/18 months ago. There's always an interesting selection of real ale. I'd avoid Saturday though because it can get very busy.
Just along from The Crown is Sanctuary opposite The Vines "big house" . Sanctuary has 4 or 5 real ales and several craft beers.
As for The Vines - what a shame! It's a lovely building and was actually recently given Grade II listed building status; but it is owned by a family who run several "faux Irish" pubs. There's no real ale and it attracts a rowdy middle aged clientele who like cheap lager and bad karaoke!
