A simple, intact small 1920's street corner local with etched windows. The entrance is from the side door on Eliza Ann Street; a corner door facing Liverpool road is now disused. The drinkers' lobby-corridor is L-shaped, and separates the front Vault and servery from the rear two rooms. The corridor features green tilework possibly dating from the 1920s; and old glazed counter screens to the servery. The small front vault has two old benches (each side of the old corner door), and an old counter of irregular shape, though the bar shelves are probably 1960s and the fireplace has gone.

Over the passage is the separate Smoke Room, which has retained its doorway but lost the door; there are original fixed benches and bell-pushes all around the room, but the fireplace is modern. A former cottage at the rear has been incorporated into the pub creating a small rear room, which is the former kitchen still retaining its cast-iron range fireplace. Its door has 'Private' in etched glass. Intact gents has 3 big urinals, dado tiled walls and tiled floor
