On Wednesday The Vines, affectionately known as 'The Big House', re-opened and the ECHO visited the pub to see it's dramatic makeover
The iconic Lime Street-based pub The Vines closed its doors in mid-February to undergo a revamp. The pub was recently bought by The 1936 Pub Company which owns a number of venues across the city including Lark Lane's The Green Man and The Red Lion on Slater Street.
The pub has stood on the corner of Lime Street and Copperas Hill since 1867. It was taken over by the Walkers, owners of the Warrington brewing family and founders of the Walker Art Gallery, who commissioned it to be rebuilt in its current ornate style in 1907. In a previous interview with The Echo, The 1936 Pub Group said: "The city once was home to the finest gin palaces and public houses in the world, and still has a number of noteworthy and historic pubs, but it is our aim to play a role in restocking the city with great examples of vintage British public houses and reverse a tide that has seen multiple pub closures down the decades."
On the ECHO website people celebrated the pub's re-opening and recalled fond memories of previous visits there.
