Lanigans Irish Bar — Restaurant in Liverpool

Personally mixed to be honest but, a beautiful bar with a brilliant variety!! (Photo for reference)

There's loads to choose from and I am a fussy drinker. They didn't have my first choice of cider but, from what looks like being an independently owned place, they had something else to offer me and I wasn't disappointed. The views of the place are amazing and really shows the Irish heritage showing famous Irish singers, actors etc. The bar itself is familiar of being back in Ireland which is nice.

From being here over the weekend, I have to say the entertainment was amazing and they're getting some brilliant bands in. We've only seen a couple but they got people dancing and moving which is what you want them to do. Personally, a bit on the louder side for me but that's my preference and not against the pub. I can't comment on food as we didn't have any so I'll leave that.

Unfortunately, that's where a lot of this ends for the place. I have to say the level of drunkeness is abysmal!! People not being able to physically walk yet still being allowed past the bouncers and allowed to buy drinks at the bar, the management should be ashamed of themselves. They need to go back and redo their alcohol licence course as they clearly don't understand the duty of care managers need to have over their customers.

The sheer smell of weed we've smelt over the weekend has been so ridiculous, and I have to say, when did it become legal for people to smoke Vape Pens indoors?? Because the amount of vape smoke blown in our faces has been unreal!!

On the 2 occasions we've come down to 'try' and enjoy the live music we've had to leave and been so disappointed because all we're met with is vape smoke and over drunkeness abusing the bands ruining the nights but they seem to be the ones ruling the nights apparently, not the staff and bouncers.

Finally, I will speak about the team, to have 7 staff serving 15 people is unheard of!! Being management I am conscious of the cost of running places and to have that many staff is just asking for you to shut the place down! I wouldn't mind having lots of staff but to be just standing at the bar talking to friends and walking away from customers, it's just ignorant and just shows that the team are not trained to talk or deal with customers if they just walk away when one comes to the bar??

Personally, I don't feel comfortable coming back here as I feel all I'll be met with is vape smoke, unrulyness and insubordination. The team needs a massive re train on customer service and the management need to look at their P&L and reassess where they're...

Great atmosphere from the time we arrived to the time we left( 2 days later) plenty of different live sports on multiple screens. The staff were really nice and friendly. Maybe a tad bit expensive and drinks compared to elsewhere, but considering the quality of the entertainment that was onshow, it was well worth it. The singers were brilliant 👏. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. No complaints at all. Well worth a visit for a sing song or just a few beers. I didn't eat anything and am not sure if they do food. They provide a phone charging service, which is great when you're out all day. Good mix of clients from all over the country and beyond. The walls are well decorated with some great photos of historical figures. The legendary Wolfetones drank there last week, so it says all you need to know. It's a great pub, no...

As part of my 'stag do' in the city of Liverpool last weekend, our party of gentlemen came across this bar. We decided to go in for a drink after one of said party heard the song 'The Fields of Athenry' blaring out. We ordered a round of drinks and it became clear this was an 'Irish bar'. One of our party had a view of the royal family that may not be everybody's cup of tea but as we live in a so called democracy, he let his voice be heard ,loudly, and we carried on drinking. We were given free shots(cherry vodka) as far as i recall which were not the best but most welcome. Another round of shots (vanilla vodka) went down much easier. I have no recollection of food at all so cant comment on that. Great bar,great prices,great music and there might be food...
