Only went in to check out the decor! As recommended by a friend... Really something else, like stepping back in time, with the wwd panels and art deco lamps. We decided to have bite to eat whilst we were there, about half 6 on a Saturday evening I thought we might be out of luck, but we were before the... More

The whole pub is full of character and characters! The tiles and woodwork are joy to see. If you only go to one pub in Liverpool this should be it. Lots of good real ales but we did not eat here.

Went today to the pub for some lunch, we waited in the bar while someone sorted our table, no one came to get us so we just went upstairs after we had waited for 40 minutes and there were loads of empty tables. We sat down ordered drinks, waited another 15 minutes, asked where our drinks were and were told... More

I took my friend from NZ for a couple of pints at the Phil and it is fair to say he was gob smacked as soon as he went through the door.There is nothing comparable in NZ and he looked around for fifteen minutes before we ordered a pint as he was fascinated by the architecture and teh wood panelling....

We had a snack lunch which was served quickly and good value. This is... More

each time i visit the Philharmonic Pub, there is a horrible smell. also management should have a word with the barmaid who slings empties into the bin every 5 mins making an unbelievably loud crashing/smashing noise, without a thought for customers trying to have a nice chat with their friends.

Finally found the place we had previously only seen from the outside. Amazing interior! Blokes loved the beer. And yes the blokes toilets are a bit whiffy, but you have to have a look at them - ladies included, never seen anything like them - only Grade 1 listed toilets in the UK!!!!
