Hard Times and Misery, Liverpool

If you’re ever in Liverpool, or more specifically Maryland Street, then be sure to keep your eyes open for a unique experience set in a 19th century coach house. Hard Times and Misery is a quirky pub that many describe as a ‘home from home’. This description fits neatly with the pub's snug size; there is a bar on the ground floor, then more seating just a staircase above.

Hard Times and Misery is hidden in plain sight, with no signage, but this makes it all the more intriguing. One customer said: 'Hard Times and Misery is Liverpool’s best kept little secret’. It is the perfect place to tuck yourself away and sample some of the best craft gins and real ale that the UK has to offer.

Hard Times and Misery is run by friendly owners, Jen and Greig who love real ale and the craft scene as well as amazing spirits. When they realised there wasn’t anywhere offering all they wanted, they decided they’d give it a go themselves and their customers are really pleased they did. You can be sure to get the very best of British craft when you visit this pub.
