Among the more upmarket restaurants and cocktail bars of Liverpool's business district there's still one proper pub where they "take care of their beer."
The Slaughter House has been a mainstay on Fenwick Street for years now, perhaps even hundreds of years. The pub is familiar, cosy, and offers something perhaps more authentic in nature than the more expensive cocktail bars and restaurants the area is known for, though those places aren't in competition with the pub, according to those who work there.
Tom Dalton, who's worked at the pub since it was taken over in 2007, said the pub's unique place in the area is why they "work so well." He told the ECHO: "If you go out near here and spend £100/£150 on a meal that's a lot of money, but you come in here and you're getting two drinks for under a tenner.
