The Monro

The Monro has had a full restoration as of summer 2024 and is now back in all its new-old-fashioned glory. The Georgian listed building has been taken over by The 1936 Pub Company who also runs other Liverpool heritage favourites like The Red Lion, The White Hart and The Green Man.

Inside it’s like 1920s Dublin except there’s no fug of smoke. Everything is done very well and The Monro has gone back to being a proper pub, rather than a gastro pub although you’ll still find a few snacks and pies to accompany your pint.

There’s a lovely homely feel – just walk in and any tension lifts. It’s the place to come and sit for hours, putting the world to rights over some beers or finding a quiet nook to sit down with the newspaper crossword and a good drink.

Some things never change, but the Monro has – back to a comforting, rose-tinted past.
