" Every pub sells mostly the same beer/spirits etc, with this pub it's all about the interior. Multiple 'rooms' of hand carved wooden decadence fill this place, roaring fires in winter, and the most ornate gents toilets in great Britain make this an essential place to call in if you are in Liverpool, even if it's just for a coke. Amazing place! You will never have been in a pub like this before. "

" Now part of the Nicholsons chain, so food and drinks tend towards the safe and predictable pub "classics" which is all fine and good. But the experience of the Philharmonic is the reason for visiting. Both exterior and interior justify its Grade 2* listing as being of "more than special interest". The interior is unchanged and especially beautiful with plaster, mahogany, copper and glass detail around musical themes reflecting the nearby concert hall. Well worth seeking out. "

" Got in just after 12 on a Saturday Lunch so beat the rush for good seats. Visually great historic pub with Lots of traditional featured. Food reasonably priced, came quick and tasted fresh. Perfect if your next venue is the everyman theatre. Well worth a popping in, but make sure the men check out the toilet..!! "

" Hadn't been in since it was refurbed and new decor was a nice surprise. Staff were always friendly, smart and professional. Food was a treat and served in good time. We would have preferred more variety on the menu hence four stars. There's a lot of competition in Liverpool with some very good eateries; the Phil still holds it place. "
