Yew Tree

Alright, so you're after a decent pint in Churchtown? Head to the Yew Tree on Lord Street. It's a proper local pub, not one of those fancy cocktail places, so you can relax. They've got a 4-star rating on the review sites, and loads of people (like, over 300) have left reviews, so it's not just me saying it's alright.

It's a solid choice if you're walking the dog, as they're welcome. Plus, when the sun decides to show its face (rare, I know!), they have some outdoor seating, which is always a bonus. It can get a bit lively on match days, especially if Liverpool or Everton are playing, so bear that in mind if you're after a quiet pint, but usually it's a friendly atmosphere.

They're open from midday to 11pm most days, but close a bit later on Fridays and Saturdays, and you can give them a ring on 01704 211512 if you need to.

Just a heads up, parking around there can be a pain, especially on weekends – you might need to park a street or two away near the shops.
