| It's frustrating but not entirely surprising to see a few comments re service and average food here. Surely that's not the point when you're talking about a pub like this? Forget these minor grumbles, this place should be at the top of your list if you're heading to Liverpool. It's beautiful, has a real wow factor and does some good ale. Need I say more? plymouthpirate - 21 Mar 2010 13:34 |
| I'd previously given the Philharmonic a wide birth over the past few years thanks to poor ale and equally poor service. However, I got dragged in the other day quite unwillingly and was a little taken back. I'd heard rumours of improvement but never really hold much faith. I'm going to assume that the pub is under new management and thank God is all I can say. The pub itself was noticably cleaner with a much better atmosphere than previous years. Took me a short while to get served but it's no surprise given how busy it was. From what I could see, everyone was getting served in turn and the staff were working very hard, and looking slightly out of breath. When it was my turn I asked the lad about the ales available that day, he was probably only in his early twenties and didn't strike me as an ale drinker but I was pleasantly shocked he knew a lot about the beer and recommended Neathergate Azzaparrot as his personal preference. A very good choice, and a quality beer. Also nice to see somewhere reviving the old style handle mugs for fussy old men like myself. The whole exerpience was just how the Philhamonic should be, lets just hope they keep it up. Credit where credit due and I commend the manager on their much improved efforts. The Phil will be added back to my regular crawl Liverpoolalesnob - 2 Feb 2010 13:12 |
| Had a big argument with the missus in this place but a few hours and very pleasant pints later we were ok with each other again. I think the beautiful decor helped. PeoplesPalace - 12 Nov 2009 11:20 |
| Went in for a meal on Friday. One girl serving in a full restaurant, waited 15 minutes for a drink and 40 minutes for the meal, which was pretty ordinary and had clearly been sitting on a hot plate waiting to be taken to our table. Then went sownstairs and it took about 10 minutes to get servied at the bar. Won't be returning. MG52 - 2 Nov 2009 12:30 |
| Probably the most ornate pub in the country - solid marble urinals in the gents twin rooms called Brahms and Liszt - I'm a sure lots of others have given a far greater detailed description. Had the Cains and one from that small brewery where the blokes who own it are on the labels/pumpclips with a red nose on. Beer was an improvement on the past but still not quite top notch. It is however another one of those must visit establishments Snarling_Mallard - 30 Oct 2009 12:33 |
