Established in 1802, The Jawbone Tavern claims to be Bootle's oldest pub which could be true as it is located in what was the original Bootle village, however the current facade appears to be a lot more recent. Inside is a well set out lounge and bar area, clean and modern with several different seating areas, some raised up towards the rear of the pub. There are a number of TV screens but customers can find a place to sit away from most of them. 3 real ales available. Dress code of no overalls or tracksuits. Friday night is Karaoke night and there is live music on saturday evenings. The Jawbone was named after the whaling fleets which were based at Bootle docks.
