The Rocket, Rainhill

Although it may not have that 'je ne sais quoi' of its illustrious Rainhill counterpart The Commercial, The Rocket is a steady, reliable and industrious little pub that does its best with what it has available to it. Much like the famous locomotive after which it takes its name, it will get you from A to B - where A represents sobriety, and B drunkenness - without injury, impediment or inconvenience.

Holt Hotel, Rainhill

This pub truly is The Rocket's evil twin. There's nothing to commend it, and no reason to go there when there are so many other better pubs in the area.

Sun Inn, Prescot

Spectacularly old-fashioned, but in a quaint and charming sort of way - not a dirty, grotty, Deanes House sort of way. Ideal for a quiet - very quiet - afternoon pint.
