Railway Inn Revamped Again
I’d need to be reminded of when the Railway Inn was last revamped but it doesn’t seem to be that long ago. Well, it’s being revamped yet again and being turned into a Hungry Horse venue I think. I know it’s the only pub in Meols and maybe it doesn’t have to try too hard but for me, the Railway has always been a bit of a disappoint – the proper pubs in Hoylake such as The Ship Inn are much better. I’ve always thought that the big problem with the Railway is that it’s just too big and such it never has an atmosphere.
Can anyone remind of what (a) the disco was called that was upstairs for a while and (b) what they called the fashionable bar bit they created back in the early 90’s?
The modern bit front right at the Railway Inn was called Tracks.
Thanks! I’d never have remembered that.
The bar was called ‘Trax’ and the disco, ‘Destination 8′.
Shame about the Railway really, loads of potential but never seems to cut it.
Destination 8 ….well remembered !
…’Desi 8′ was the scene of much fighting many years ago as I remember! Hence, dance-licence was revoked. The layout made it look even bigger and gloomier than in recent years. Big refurb circa 1984, making it Whitbread’s ‘flagship’ pub on the Wirral.
