Heritage Meets Hospitality: Taylor’s Classics Furnishes the Dog & Collar Pub with Timeless British Character
Located at 60 Hope Street in Liverpool’s historic Georgian Quarter, The Dog & Collar isn’t just a pub, it’s a celebration of community, craft and character. Following an extensive refurbishment, the 200-year-old venue reopened its doors at the end of 2024 with a new vision: to become a true “public house and loyal friend.”
Taylor’s Classics were proud to play a part in bringing that vision to life by supplying a range of bespoke furniture pieces, as well as handpicked reclaimed furniture showcased throughout the space.
The Dog & Collar is divided into three thoughtfully designed spaces: the bustling Taproom, the welcoming Tavern, and the refined Dining Room. Each requiring its own distinct furniture identity. Working closely with the design team at Studio R2A, Taylor’s Classics curated a package that reflects the building’s layered history and modern hospitality standards.
Supplying a Rich Mix of Furniture
- Reclaimed dining chairs and traditional pub tables, bringing authenticity and character to the space while supporting sustainability goals.
- Bespoke drum stools, crafted specifically for this project to add flair and flexibility in both bar and dining settings.
- A beautiful rustic oak pew, offering warmth, comfort, and a nod to ecclesiastical influences found in many classic British pubs.
- A varied selection of tabletops, including zinc, marble, and oak, chosen to reflect the character of each room – elevating the aesthetic while providing hardwearing surfaces for daily service.
Each piece was handcrafted and finished in their Stafford workshop, ensuring both durability and design integrity.
A Setting That Matches the Menu
Helmed by Great British Menu 2025 chef Livia Alarcon, The Dog & Collar’s food offering is grounded in fire, smoke, and the best of British produce.
The furniture had to match that level of detail: classic, inviting and made to last. Whether guests are enjoying a pre-theatre small plate in the Dining Room, watching the match in the Tavern, or settling into a snug corner of the Taproom, the furniture enhances the overall experience. Wood finishes, aged patinas and bespoke detailing make every seat part of the story!
