Pokémon Go to the Pub
Created another Pokémon Go Route last week. It’s from Dr Duncans to the Denbigh Castle, or more correctly to the PokéStop by the Denbigh, which is the lovely ‘Nomad Clan’ mural. The route takes in the Queens Arms on Victoria Street, so you can take in three fab pubs.
Had to appeal the decision to refuse the route on Danger grounds. Lol
When I first uploaded the Route it was turned down by the powers that be. The Route was rejected because it was ‘dangerous or unsafe area.’ I had to bother to appeal this spurious reasoning and I did appeal, and was successful. Huzzah!
Dr D's to Denbigh Castle Route
There is definitely a theme in my routes. Good pubs aplenty and not too long either. You can actually now follow a continuous route from the Queen of Hope Street at the top in of town down to the Denbigh Castle, on the other side of Dale Street. This is made up of four routes and takes in loads of good Liverpool pubs. I’m not sure I’ll ever do all four in one day, but it could happen.
- QoHS (Liverpool Philharmonic stop) to the Grapes. This originally took in the Caledonia, which is now closed, but you don’t have to walk past the Cali to complete the route. You simply take in the Belvedere Arms instead.
- The Grapes to the Vines, taking in the Dispensary
- Vines to Dr Duncans.
- Dr Duncs to Denbigh Castle (Nomad Clan Stop), taking you past the Queens Arms.
From Doctor Duncans to The Vines
From The Vines to The Grapes
From The Grapes to the Queen of Hope Street/Philharmonic Pub
Good luck picking up those Zygarde cells. At least you can guarantee a decent pint or two even if you can’t get those pesky Zygardes.
