Liverpool is full of amazing pubs and bars that make a huge contribution to the local economy and the city's reputation as a city with an eclectic and vibrant nightlife.
Some of these pubs are popular drinking spots for tourists and visitors while others, particularly those further away from the city centre, cater for more local clientele. But like any large city with a long established pub culture, some pubs have a reputation as 'rough' or 'dodgy' drinking holes.
Whenever you ask natives of the city to name such a pub, often the same names will crop up again and again. Over the years, the Liverpool Echo has reported on many notorious pubs and how they earned their reputation in the city.
