Bootle's oldest pub's new outdoor space opens this weekend
Since reopening again in September 2024 Bootle’s oldest pub has been a big hit with locals after being taken over by new owners who updated the local, while still keeping with its rich history. The Jawbone Tavern, on:- Litherland Road, Bootle, originally opened in:- 1802, and was named after the whaling fleets based at:- Bootle Docks. The public house has survived 2 world wars and was once owned by a:- Championship winning Liverpool FC Footballer, Jock McNab and has served thousands of people in Bootle Village, for well over 200 years now. A spokesperson for Jawbone Tavern, Nicola Halton, said:- "When we took over the site, we had plans to create a new outdoor space. After a lot of hard work and the assistance of the fantastic artist, Paul Curtis, stage:- 1, and stage:- 2, of the beer garden build are now fully completed. With a capacity for 80 customers, the beer garden is a great sun trap at the rear of the pub, and we think it looks fantastic." Paul Curtis is a Liverpool based artist specialising in street art and large murals. Since 2017, Paul has created more than 250 public pieces, across the UK, with most of his work found around:- Merseyside and Wirral. His work is well known and sells all over the world. The General Manager of the Jawbone Tavern, Dave Mcnally, added:- "We would like to thank Paul Curtis for his great work and think this has added to this local institution, which is the Jawbone Tavern. Paul came up with the idea of the whaling image, as the pub's name came from the links to the whaling vessels that sailed from:- Bootle Docks. Whilst whaling is now illegal in the UK, and rightly so, we felt that this would be a way of sharing the pub's history whilst also brightening up our new beer garden area." COMMENTS (0)
