Victoria Cross in Liverpool

Ah, Victoria Cross – it's one of those unassuming pubs in Liverpool that just hits the spot for a laid-back evening. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the staff are absolute gems, always up for a chat and making sure everything runs smoothly, which really adds to that homely feel. The drinks are spot on, with cracking prices that won't break the bank, and it's brilliant for catching the latest sports action on their TVs – I can picture myself there with a pint, cheering on the team. It's clean and comfy too, which is always a plus after a day of wandering around town. On the flip side, it's quite a compact space, so if you're not keen on it getting a bit crowded, you might want to pop in during off-peak hours. And while it's great for drinks, it doesn't seem to shout about food, so if you're hungry for more than a quick bite, you could end up heading out. Overall, it's a solid choice for anyone after a genuine, no-fuss pub experience in the city centre – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area!
