Grade II listed building which is a sight to behold. Worth the visit alone. The gents are the only grade I listed toilets in the UK. Women can visit, when it's quiet !

The interior is resplendent with etched and stained glass , wrought iron, mosaics and ceramic tiling -- wait until you see inside the marble men's toilets , the only heritage-listed lav in the country .

The pies were lovely and I loved the sticky toffee pudding . Has such a cool Victorian vibe. Beautiful! Nice selection of gins .

In the 1960's John Lennon said that one of the prices of fame was "not being able to drink in the Phil". This is, hands down, the most magnificent pub in England , so fair be it for him to say!

Simone P.

The legend say that 'Imagine' was wrote here, anyway, the Pub is amazing and a little b-day surprise concert party it was really cool... :)

Carl Griffin

Impressively ornate interior.

Mark Clifford

Gents loo 's are worth checking out, listed. Great character in this place.

Mike Keefe

Great to look at. Not sure why One Direction was playing, given that none of their fans are of drinking age.

Mark Makin

Authentic Scouse night out in a classic place - great atmosphere in he back room

Constructed in 1898-1900, the Philharmonic is first purpose-built Victorian pub in England to be given Grade I status.

A wide variety of alcohol . The main room downstairs is a place to behold with its timeless interior decor.

Alex Roberts

The interior is magnificent, and is worth visiting to sit and admire it. Ales are also good too!

This extraordinary bar , designed by the shipwrights who built the Lusitania, is one of the most beautiful bars in all of England.

John

The Beatles used to drink here and John Lennon once complained that one of the prices of fame was "not being able to go to the Phil for a drink"

Andrew Sims

Came here for Sunday lunch , must say I was disapointed. Food was bland and the dining room is devoid of atmosphere, nothing like the pub downstairs.

Mary Naylor

Apparently the "Grande Lounge " used to be a billiard room, with two full size billiard tables within.

The gents loo is a symphony of Victorian tiling!

Про изумительно красивый паб у Ливерпульской филармонии исчерпыва­юще высказался еще Джон Леннон: «Единственный минус славы — нельзя спокойно отправиться выпить пива в Phil».

Angela Amer

Un lloc maquíssim i un autèntic menjar anglès!
