If the men in your family don’t have a Christmas day pint…..is it even Christmas?
It’s the scouse way isn’t it? Done the presents, devoured your full English, dressed up in your best shirt and new jeans and check out which Liverpool pubs are open for a Christmas day pint….or two. Inevitably the fellas are always late back and your mum has a little fume because the turkey’s going cold, but hey, it’s Christmas!
We’re firm fans of this scouse tradition here at The Guide Liverpool and so we’re rounded up 11 Liverpool pubs to enjoy a festive bev on Christmas day…..
