Industrial Roots in Concert Square
The Lime Kiln stands on a site rich with Liverpool's manufacturing heritage. A Victorian warehouse occupied this space from the early 1900s into the 1950s, home to manufacturing chemists and brass founders. Next door loomed a sizeable chemical factory, tying into the area's origins where Liverpool's chemical industry began in nearby Lime Street—once known as Lime Kiln Lane. In the 1890s, the Monserrat Lime Juice Company stored goods here, blending commerce with the port city's bustling trade.Classic Wetherspoon Welcome

Open daily from 8am, it caters to early risers with breakfast deals starting at £2.99, alongside a rotating selection of real ales, lagers, and ciders at competitive prices. The spacious interior accommodates crowds comfortably, with high ceilings and open layouts that echo the building's warehouse past while providing a modern pub atmosphere. Food service runs until 8pm, featuring pub classics, burgers, and daily specials that draw locals and visitors alike.
