The Denbigh Castle
The Denbigh Castle is a characterful pub on Hawkins Hey, one of Liverpool’s most distinctive streets. Dating from 1815, the pub has come full circle, starting out as The Denbigh Castle before trying a few different names then reverting back to the original in 2020 when it was refurbished by the current licensees.
It’s an absolute gem of a pub with a clutch of awards from CAMRA and Liverpool City Region Tourism. It’s quirky but traditional with well-kept beers and five handpumps. You’ll find a good range of cask ales as well as German and Belgian beers. There’s a vegan wine list and a wide range of spirits including a nice line in Scotch.
There’s plenty going on: stand-up comedy, talks from local footballing legends, quiz nights and live music. Food isn’t served here but you can pick up some top-notch Spanish sandwiches and tapas from Castro’s next door to enjoy with your pint.
Open: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun
