Liverpool, first night

St George's Hall, Liverpool, originally uploaded by Rev Stan.

There is something not quite right about Mosh a) devising the route of a pub crawl in my old University town and b) choosing pubs of architectural interest rather than the price of the beer.
And so our first night in Liverpool started with a trip to The Vines on Lime Street with it's interior (and exterior) pretty much intact after just over 100 years of serving up booze.
Then on for a curry. Well an Indian restaurant called Mayur on Duke Street. It is definitely not a curry house but does proper Indian food rather than the usual greasy slops. They even did me a gluten-free naan.
So strip out the fact that there was technically only one pub in the 'crawl' and it wasn't serving doubles for a £1, and the curry house didn't have red carpet and flock wallpaper and you've essentially got a classic night out from my student days.
Oh and the piccie is the beautiful St George's Hall, decked out in festive lights and the name of the city, just in case you weren't sure. This building was boarded up and virtually derelict when I was student, so glad to see it's looking a bit more loved. I'm hoping it is going to be open to the public so we can see the inside.
