UNUSUAL PUB AND BARBERS

A unique business in Birkenhead, Merseyside is sure to leave you HALF-CUT with its unusual pub and barbers combination. Waiting for a trim at Gallaghers Pub and Barbers is no longer a chore. One end of the room is dedicated to pulling pints, while the opposite end is full of razors, scissors, and shaving cream. 'New customers to the barbers never mind queuing,' says owner Suzanne Gallagher, 52, of Birkenhead.
