* The Slaughterhouse calims to be the oldest pub in Liverpool and took its name from the fact that it was once a slaughter house many centuries ago. There is nothing too scary about the pub currently apart from the rumours of haunted sightings and it is even part of the Shiverpool Ghost Tours, the pub is said to be haunted by a butcher who developed a taste for human flesh. The Slaughterhouse has seen several generations of drinkers alternating at the bar: the old wooden ceiling and the brick walls are clear witnesses of the age of the building.
