A pub near the old waterfront
The Pig & Whistle stands at the corner of Covent Garden and Chapel Street, one of Liverpool's oldest streets, running down towards the waterfront. Wikipedia, citing a 2021 Liverpool Echo article, records that the premises were an 18th-century boarding house and brothel before being converted into the Pig and Whistle pub in 1875.
CAMRA describes a respectfully refurbished traditional pub with a cosy bar, a side room with games and a Liverpool mural, and an upstairs room for events. The freehold is owned by Heineken UK.
