The Irish House

Inside

The bar is the centrepiece: a big, solid wooden counter that runs through the main room, with seating spread around it. Large screens are placed so they can be seen from most spots, which tells you how busy it gets on match days. It suits a quick pint as much as a long session. Come on a quiet afternoon for a relaxed drink, or on a big match day for the atmosphere.

An Irish corner of town

Ranelagh Street has several Irish bars within a few doors of each other, including Celtic Corner and Lanigans, so it is easy to move between them. The street runs between Central Station and the shopping streets, and Lime Street is a short walk away, which makes it a handy stop if you are arriving or leaving by train. It is an easy place to start a night out in the city centre.

Nearby

The Central Station Hotel is practically next door. The Vines, one of Liverpool's grandest Edwardian pubs, is about 100 metres away on Lime Street and well worth a look for its interior, and the Adelphi Hotel is across the road from there.
