"The pub is reportedly haunted by the ghost of a monk, a former landlord and his son, as well as a female cook, who are all said to reside at the drinking hole on Conwy quay.
Legend has it that sightings of the monk are said to warn of a death or bad luck, and a strong smell of vanilla has coincided with appearances.
The ghost of the cook is accompanied by an unexplained smell of roast beef that has lingered in the pub, whilst the ghost of a landlord is said to be that of a man who drowned in the estuary."

"Looking back in the Weekly News archives, speaking in June 1980, former landlord Jacqui Plumb said she had often had objects mysteriously disappear in the pub and reported a terrified visitor claiming the bed in the pub’s attic shaking violently.
But Jacqui herself saw the spectre of the monk right after a member of her family was involved in a serious accident.
“I went into the spare bedroom. This is the tower room and it was about 4pm. When I opened the door I saw him just across the room, a monk with his hands together kneeling and praying,” she said.
“I was so amazed that I closed my eyes and shook my head to make sure I was actually seeing something. I opened my eyes and he was still there.”
Later in the April of 1991, barman Andrew Young, 20, was working in the pub when he claimed he encountered a ghostly apparition at the back of the pub.
Andrew, of the Castle View Estate, claimed a ghost standing at around six and a half feet in height made a lunge for him, causing him to drop a crate of beer and rip his shirt. He claimed the ghost was accompanied by a small boy.
“He kept beckoning me over and over again but every time he came forward I moved back,” he said.
“Then he came at me with a look of pure evil and I just panicked. I have never been so scared in my life.”
The landlord at the time, Trevor Gresty, even reported the incident to the Bass Brewery.
Author of the book The Ghosts of Conwy Margaret Williams said at the time the phantom could have been that of a previous pub landlord and his son who drowned in the estuary during the 1930s.
Psychic David Drew also reported seeing a figure standing near the cellar in September 1991, but said he was unable to communicate with the spirit.
Jon and Clare Roberts have run the Liverpool Arms for the past 15 years. Clare says she has never encountered anything unusual in her years at the pub.
“I always hear rumours about ghosts here but I’ve never seen anything. People say you can sense somebody is there but I say ‘don’t be daft’. I’ve never seen it so I don’t believe it, but it’s very interesting,” she said."
