Philharmonic Dining Rooms, Liverpool

This is a truly grand pub but please please please don't fall for the "you've got to see the gents" rubbish that's spouted about this place. They're not that great.

This pub surpassed my expectations in terms of grandeur, and that's saying something. I reckon that this is the most magnificent pub I've been in, and that's also saying something. This place has been well and truly described previously, and there are enough photographs on the site to show just how special the interior really is. The City tour bus stopped outside and when I dropped in at around 11.30 AM the place was fairly busy with non-drinking visitors. But they soon dispersed leaving the place pretty much to me and Mrs R, so that I could enjoy a quiet pint in one of the rooms (Liszt I think). I can't recall what beer I had, but I do recall that I enjoyed it. This pub is an absolute must for any pub enthusiast visiting Liverpool.
