The McCartney Steps don’t just sit nearby – they lead straight into the Pig & Whistle itself. Locals say Paul and his brother Mike would perch halfway up, waiting for their dad to finish his pint inside. Whether that story’s gospel truth or just one of Liverpool’s favourite myths, we’re happy to keep it alive.

Those same steps have carried dockers, sailors, musicians, and dreamers for generations. Now they lead you into a freshly restored pub with the same spirit it’s always had – a bit rough, a bit warm, and full of stories worth passing on.
