Pubs with Bruce
I've been a beer lover all my life and I love to travel. Combining these is the ultimate experience. As I've traveled, I've immersed myself in the history and folklore of the places I've visited. Join me on my beer journeys. Okay, it's not as good as actually being there, but who knows? You may be inspired to enjoy travels (and beers) of your own.

Liverpool. Dating back to 1815 when it was a small beer house owned by William Williams, who was listed in the Gores directory as the Victualler. It is located on Hackins Hey (next door to Ye Hole in Ye Wall), one of Liverpool's oldest streets. Later renamed Walter's and Jupiter's, it returned to its original name in 2020.
There are a couple of interesting stories about the pub. The first surrounds it's infamous "death chair". Dating back to the 17th century, it got its macabre title after several people reportedly died shortly after sitting in it. Fortunately it is no longer at the pub. The second story is that there are a series of tunnels which run underneath the pub and nearby Dale Street.
It is now a two room pub served by a single bar. My beer of choice was a bitter from Kirkstall Brewery in Leeds.
