'Haunted' tucked-away pub which 'served Jack the Ripper Suspect and Noel Gallagher'

The Poste House is one of Liverpool's most historic pubs and one of the many backstreet boozers dotted throughout the city.

The intimate venue is set over two floors on Cumberland Street and is completed with a charming interior, pubby décor and furnishings including stained glass windows. It is said to be one of the oldest LGBTQ+ friendly establishments the city has to offer with it being built in 1820.

For more than 200 years, a range of questionable clientele have found themselves within its nook and crannies tucked away down the discreet alley connecting Dale Street and Victoria Street. The pub, more affectionately known as The Postie, supposedly served the likes of Jack The Ripper suspect James Maybrick, singer Bob Dylan, lead vocalist of Blondie Debbie Harry and Noel Gallagher. Another hearsay about the venue is that it's haunted.
