THE CAVERN PUB REVIEWS

1st time in Liverpool and into the club at 6pm, great atmosphere and sounds, found myself dancing away as soon as I got into the club (I don't dance). Some really great memorabilia throughout the whole club to browse. Some deep roots in rock and roll in the cavern! Great live music and drinks are reasonably priced. Didn't try the food though. I would naturally recommend a visit and soak up the atmosphere. £5 entry fee pp worth the price.

We have been there 2 times while we were in Liverpool. Good atmosphere and reasonable prices. For 2 neck oil, we paid £10.60 which for that famous place sounds really good. On Friday night we went to a few different places on the same street and prices were higher.

An absolute must if visiting the beautiful city of Liverpool. A good variety of beers on the bar . Non stop live music from some of the very best around and the greatest of atmosphere. The bands / singers seem to swap every hour or so. So always something new to listen to. Remember though, you are at the home of the Beatles.

PUMP HOUSE REVIEWS

What love place .calm and relaxed evening. We stayed in Albert Dock close by.so for anyone staying on the Dock and are looking for somewhere to eat that's great price and and amazing food it's a must try x my friend had the steak I chose the venison of special board it was amazing it was . I think the lady that served us was called sue what to thank her for looking after us on our visit would recommend try this little gem.

Great place to chill and have calm evenings with friends, family and your dates. The staff were very polite, friendly and helpful. Special mentions to Rachel and Luke for wonderful service. The food was top notch…..what took me to a surprise was their loaded Nachos and Hand battered onions must try. Would love to visit again. Also a big shout out to all chefs in kitchen as they always go unnoticed in the reviews( the silent hero’s I would say .

Such a beautiful building on the Albert Dock it offers a great place to sit and take in the atmosphere of Albert Dock. You can't miss the iconic chimney shape reaching up to the sky. The venue inside has lots of character and many little hidden corners that you can settle into and enjoy a drink or a meal. We sat outside and watched the sun go down. There is quite a large outdoor area and is perfect to watch the world go by. We loved our visit here.

THE PHILHARMONIC DINING ROOMS REVIEWS

A must do venue if visiting Liverpool. The building inside and out is amazing. The pies were delicious and beer excellent. Service was super friendly too.

I highly recommend dining here. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was wonderful. I had the British steak & Nicholson's pale ale pie and it was the best pie I had in Liverpool. Paul McCartney performed here in the Grande Lounge in 2018 so it was fun seeing the pictures displayed.

This art nouveau pub is the face of Liverpool. It’s enough to appreciate the decoration while having a conversation over some drinks, but to have a full dining experience is another level. And I highly recommend it.
