The 'Lion Tavern' has a commanding corner location opposite the former Exchange station.
Because of my involvement with the Old Locomotive Committee (OLCO), I knew of the 'Lion Tavern, located at the junction of Moorfields and Tithebarn Street but I'd never been there until OLCO provided assistance to the Museum of Liverpool in the making of a video about Lion's history. That visit is described in the short post here.

Some years after, I came across the Liverpool Echo article from 15th June 2016 "Last orders called at two Liverpool city centre pubs - including the historic Lion Tavern" here.
Later, I found another Liverpool Echo report dated 16th November 2016 proclaiming "The historic Lion Tavern re-opens today" here. Although I've not been back to the Lion Tavern yet, it seems to be thriving: there's a website here. And the Ale? I'm sorry, during my visit I only took tea.
