The team behind the pub said it prides itself on “character and a community vibe”\"TheThe new venue is replacing Peacock on Seel Street<\/p>\n

A Liverpool city centre pub is reopening under a new name and concept. Seel Street\u2019s Peacock, which forms part of St Peter\u2019s Square, closed to customers a few weeks back. However, it is not all bad news. The venue, a go-to place for many, especially students, for two decades, shut to make way for a new venue. The space<\/a> will now be known as the Crooked Crown.<\/p>\n

It comes after a major refurbishment that has allowed the pub to be made larger after owners Pub Invest Group bought the former solicitors\u2019 office next door. The venue is said to have \u201cthe look and feel of a classic pub\u201d to reflect the changes in the city\u2019s hospitality scene, with more people opting for venues with more of a \u201clocal vibe\u201d, according to the team.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Pub Invest Group said: \u201cWe\u2019re not going to throw the baby out with the bath water. We\u2019ll still have a key student night on a Tuesday and upstairs will definitely appeal to a younger crowd who want to dance the night away.<\/p>\n

“But people don\u2019t necessarily want to visit just busy clubs and bars as were the mainstay of nightlife in Liverpool for many years, so we\u2019ve created a pub filled with character and a community vibe, evoking a traditional feel with a bit of a slant.<\/p>\n

“It won\u2019t take itself too seriously, but the Crooked Crown will be warm and cosy, and the sort of place where staff will get to know who you are and you can just relax, unwind, and enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pictures inside the new venue are currently unavailable but the team said the two-storey interior has been styled with dark wooden panelling and furnishings and conventional colours like rich earthy greens and burgundy tones; and the bar has been extended and set back to make the most of the additional floor space.<\/p>\n

Pub Invest Group have moved staircases and re-introduced fireplaces. As well as outdoor drinking areas, there\u2019s now an authentic stone patio area accessible from inside the venue.<\/p>\n

Cocktails will still be on the menu, but the Crooked Crown will specialise in cask ales, IPAs and lagers sourced where possible from Merseyside-based breweries, and the food menu will focus on typical pub grub but served tapas-style.<\/p>\n

Throughout the week live music and pub quizzes will take place, with the target audience said to be \u201cmusicians, creatives, and professionals\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The team behind the pub said it prides itself on “character and a community vibe”The new venue is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":341983,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,393,4884,179,2349,15650,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-341982","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-liverpool","12":"tag-liverpool-city-centre","13":"tag-liverpool-pubs","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115023218381352605","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/341982","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=341982"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/341982\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/341983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=341982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=341982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=341982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
