Courtyard Bar & Kitchen in Liverpool

Brilliant as ever. Top notch food and service.

What a hidden gem . Fabulous food. Very friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Will spread the word to my friends...and come back.

A great bar and restaurant to go with family and friends. They have a wide variety of beers and cocktails. Swift service, friendly staff and amazing food.

Small bites menu was a bit limited, but the food was excellent. Service was superb and just right for picking a few 'small plates' to put together a little share meal.

We had booked upstairs for a corporate celebratory meal for 30 people upstairs using one of the set menus which we had preordered. Very last minute on the day we had 2 extra people join us. CBK could not of been more accommodating and served our two extra guests with no fuss. They were even able to have the same food off the set menu. From the moment we arrived staff were attentive and the service was fabulous. The food was the best we had had all week in Liverpool. I could not recommend this place even more, it was a great evening with fantastic service and food. Will definitely be back for a visit with my family!

Booked a meal here before a show at the royal court and then some friends met for a drink lovely food great service unfortunately one of our friends had a fall down the stairs and had to go in an ambulance the staff went above and beyond to help called the ambulance and made sure we were all ok they contacted the theatre who offered us all to rebook for another night they went above and beyond thankyou all so much 👏👏👏

Hidden gem next to the Royal Court, perfect for pre show drinks. Covered outdoor area is large with heaters so good spot.

We entered just accidentally, but what a delicious food. Everything was perfect (soup fantastic) and also size is king :) Strongly recommend.

Had the mis fortune to call in here at the weekend after being in the royal court theatre. Wow. The toilets are filthy. Absolutely bad. Pee all over the place. Cheap blue hand towels all over the floor and then sticking to your shoes. Bins over flowing. And visitors to Liverpool see this! Shocking.

Here with a friend for a pre-theatre dinner. It was a Thursday, and we'd booked which i'd advise as it gets pretty busy. Service was good throughout. Their menu, 2 or 3 courses for a set price, is really good value, and has a decent selection. I ordered the Thai salmon fishcake to start, and the caramalised hoisin and ginger pork for mains. The food was good, tasty, but there were niggles. The 'Thai' fishcake seemed to have no Thai flavourings at all, nor the mayo or veg shavings/salad accompanying it. A good salmon fishcake though. Re the mains, generous portions of rice, and pulled pork, but the sauce was very thick, and there wasn't enough of it given the amount of rice that come with it. But as I've said, both very tasty, and for the price I may be nitpicking. Re puds, I wasn't in the mood, but my friend was, and went with their eton mess. She said it was so-so, but didn't like the meringue texture. Little moans aside, we both agreed we'd happily go back. It's a nice place, great VFM, and a lovely atmosphere. And a number of other dishes we'd like to try.

Great food reasonable prices and friendly and helpful staff,we will return.

We used to go here when it was the Penny Farthing, now the Coutyard. We went early doors before a concert in St. Georges Hall. Good menu choice and superb food and service. Three course meal for two only £44. Young lady who served us was excellent.

Went before going to the Royal Court. The meal was very good as was the service, prices very great. Also a discount on first round of drinks for going to the theatre for first time never expected that. Never been before but, will definitely be there again.

Thank you to Sinead and all the lovely staff for reserving a table for me and my family on Saturday 8th June for drinks before and after attending royal court service was excellent 👍 Anne winthorpe 💙

Lovely staff, food and drink prices very reasonable with view of famous Liverpudlian buildings

Good range of choices. Cost £18 for 2 courses or £22 for 3. It represents the best value for money for dining in The City Centre. Service friendly and efficient. Also fantastic outlook towards the historic St Georges Hall. Undoubtably the best choice for people visiting nearby theatres including the Playhouse and Empire which are no more than 5 minute walk away. Portion sizes are generous and all food tasted great and was attractively presented.

The food was lovely and very reasonably priced (£18 for 2 courses or £22 for three) The menu isn’t huge , but the quality of the meal was lovely. Service was good and attentive ,but not intrusive. Staff are friendly and helpful. Had a lovely bottle of wine with the meal and then watched the world go by. Meal with drinks and tips came to £70. All in all a lovely place to spend a few hours. Would go again.

Hired top floor. Staff couldn’t have done anymore! All helpful, kind, polite, accommodated our every need. Food was delish, nibbles, starters, mains and deserts were all beautifully presented and tasted fantastic! Room upstairs was beautiful, views brilliant. Toilets were kept clean throughout. Would highly recommend for all occasions. All your staff are a credit.

Lovely little place to eat. Nice views, good atmosphere, and friendly staff. Food was top notch and affordable. Will definitely go again!

Booked a table for 4 people for 12.30pm on a Saturday for a pre-theatre meal. I am not from Liverpool and found Courtyard Bar and Kitchen ok Google maps just looking for restaurants in the area. I am pleased I chose here! We all ate different food, though I had the spring vegetable risotto which was delicious! Also had a side of hummus with pitta bread which again was spot on. The meal ended up cheaper than I expected as they had a discounted offer on "pre-theatre" which I hadn't been aware of. Staff were attentive and had good customer service skills. After our meal we sat outside for a drink as the weather was quite nice out. They have outdoor heaters which makes it even better for the colder days. All in all we had a great time.

Love it in here. Delicious food (I had swordfish) at a good price. Great location, and the service is excellent. Always my go-to when in Liverpool City centre

My twin brother and I dropped into The Courtyard and had a really good time in here. The restaurant looks superb, a light and airy interior, a wonderful looking serving bar dominates the main room, modern decor and furnishings and plenty of seating options, it's a great place to unwind in. We ordered beers while we checked out their menu, beers were served in excellent condition being iced cold and sparkling and in the end we both opted to have fish and chips, a short wait and our meals arrived and what a treat. Fish was really good, lightly battered and beautifully seasoned, so tasty and the chips were awesome and all washed down by an iced cold beer. We really enjoyed our meals and beers in here before we moved on and as on every other visit to here we had a great time. The Courtyard is easy to locate along Roe Street. Well worth checking in with you in the area.

It was so cold in there, small menu,, starter feta cheese was off,, sword fish, had no taste at all, and my potatoes was covered in a tin of tomatos,, never visit there again

Came here January 2023 for a meal before a show at Royal court with my partner his sister and her fiancé. It was busy but we were served quickly staff working really hard and friendly! Food was good and they still had a festive menu on. We returned after the show for further drinks good atmosphere and seen and spoke to some of the cast from the show in there! A Good night.

Beautiful restaurant, we went here after a show at The Royal Court (stocking fillers, amazing). We were seated upstairs with the most amazing view. The atmosphere was perfect, I was with my parents and partner, and all ate from the 3 course menu £22.00 so cheap, the food was gorgeous. The Christmas dinner, steak pie, and fish & chips were all delicious. 100% will be back. Little gem in liverpool. High standards and very reasonable, 3 course's for 4 people, and drinks just over £100. We will be going back.

Love going ng there before a show and after like everything its not cheap to drink in there

Good food. Daughter really loved the Christmas roast dinner with the mulled wine gravy. My steak and blue cheese pie was good. Nice if slightly limited menu. Busy early evening had it to ourselves afterwards. Buzzing disco downstairs gave it a nice atmosphere - partyish.

Thank you to Milly at courtyard bar for reserving a table for me and family to have drinks before and after royal court show 25/11/2023 excellent service from all the lovely staff 🍷🍺💜

Book if you want to eat,we were unlucky, but still have a love night.

Our stayed was very memorable . Mohamed at the front desk was very helpful and resourceful . Not forgetting Roberto and his team at the coffee house as always done an excellent job making us feel at home .

We were going to the Royal Court and arrived in time to have a meal before the show. Very helpful staff, lovely food. Tiny criticism 'Don't put tinsel and lights on the stair rail, I needed it to get between floors'.

Had a brilliant meal tonight 16th November. Good value for money staff were amazing and friendly the cleanliness was spot on service was amazing. Atmosphere was great. Our 1st time here will be visiting again and highly recommend to friends and family.

Lovely restaurant, bar is downstairs, and restaurant upper level. I ate here with my daughter before a theatre visit. Wr didn't have a booking but they were able to accommodate us. Lovely food, fast service, Pleasent atmosphere, and decent priced cocktails.

Had a lovely meal before theatre. Staff were very friendly. Great value for money. The teriyaki salmon was amazing and my husbands lamb was delicious. Would recommend booking as they were turning a lot away as they were fully booked

Prawn cocktail starter was too cold and tasteless but main course (lamb shoulder) was fine.

Yet another visit to this fab restaurant, this is our go to restaurant before or after visiting The Royal Court Theatre. Food selection is really good with either a 2 or 3 course fixed price menu. Always changing the menu options, so never get bored. Have brilliant cocktails too, so we also partake. Love this place 👍

Absolutely superb service. Food was excellent and plenty of it. Light airy place great views. Would most definitely advise people to visit this place. 2 courses £18 or 3 £22.

Meal options not amazing and was shocked that they only had a pre theatre menu. Chicken wing not to taste very sweet. Lamb was lovely but the mash was like a cheap microwave mash no texture to it or fluffiness more like cement very thick and gluey. Fish and chips fish was overbooked on the ends which made it hard to eat. Desert cheesecake was lovely but the passion fruit tart just not to my taste. But I’m sure others will love it.

Great place to eat if you don't want to go to far from the Royal Court theatre.

We had a lovely pre theatre dinner at the Courtyard bar and kitchen last night. The staff were very friendly, attentive and efficient. I loved the Cherry Spiritz cocktail. The food was delicious and very good value. This is a great place to eat, relax and socialise!

This was our first visit. Most impressed to say the least and we will be back. Food was delicious and the portions were on the generous side. All the staff who served us were absolutely lovely.

We recently held our wedding party at the courtyard hiring the downstairs bar and outdoor area. Any arrangements we needed before hand were all dealt with brilliantly and on the night the staff were unbelievable (in particular Millie) They made everything run so smoothly we didn’t have to worry about a thing. All of our guests commented on how amazing the staff, food and venue were and we honestly can’t recommend it more. It was absolutely perfect. Thank you so much for making it such a great night!

Squeezed us in early on a matchday which was great for a quick stop off for a lunch. Staff were super friendly, chatty and engaging as well as attentive with stuff like drinks. All three courses arrived quickly and were of decent quality, particularly the pitta breads to start. Atmosphere rather strange with fairly loud music but expect this is a positive in the evenings. Views were fantastic and overall a reliable and cost friendly lunch option on the set menu!

הכל טעים מאוד ויש גם מבחר גדול של מנות צמחוניות

Always a great place with really friendly staff. I've been before for real ale but tonight we had the fantastic food and a great duo for entertainment. Will definitely be back regular on a friday

A 5 star experience. Great & polite service. Food absolutely delicious & beautifully presented. Prices v reasonable. I hope to be back soon!

Usually visit pre theatre. Amazing cocktails, lovely burger and halloumi pitta from the BBQ. Just one small criticism, the chips where far too salty and we couldn’t eat them. Told the staff but we were just told they would let the chef know. No apology 😞.

Were here for pre theatre drinks in the beergarden. Nice service and decent prices.

Very affordable and nice dinner

Just had post matinee theatre drinks here. Gorgeous sunny late afternoon, outdoor seating and quick bar services

Lovely meal at the Courtyard yesterday before theatre. A party of eight, good food and excellent value for money for two course meal. Highly recommended .

Great place, lovely food and staff really nice

Celebrated wifes 70th birthday yesterday with over 30 family and friends. Can't praise it enough. The food & the service from all the staff was brilliant. Not one person had any bad comments about the food. All raved about the quality and presentation especially for the price. Special thanks to Emma for sorting everything for us. We had 3 hours upstairs then they reserved some tables for us in covered outside area where we stayed for drinks,great again. Thanks Emma and all the staff for a great day. Dave & Christine

Fantastic delicious good was so surprised at how good food was and for a very reasonable price . Definitely would eat there again.

Food terrible! I could have cooked better myself! Very dissatisfied considering all the good reviews. It was like there was no chef working on the night! Maybe that was the problem?

Lovely food and staff. Well worth a visit

Lovely food ,three courses for 22 pound ,cheap as chips and very enjoyable xlovely restuarant,staff really nice and friendly .food was served promptly and well presented .would recommend a visit x

Food delicious and staff great .

Food was lovely and good price, Services was prompt and staff were polite and friendly. Nice courtyard area outside, thoroughly enjoyed the evening

Great place. Went pre theatre. Nice atmosphere. Reasonable pricing. Food fancy versions of basic classics.

Friendly staff. Food not great, although pretty reasonable, so maybe it's a case of you get what you pay for? Cabbage on the starter was sloppy as was the cauliflower for the main. The menu reads better than the execution of the dishes

We had our works Christmas doo here in January. Fantastic time, we had the 3 course menu which we chose in advance. Totally delicious, everyone enjoyed themselves and complimented the food, location and service - thanks Courtyard 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Not a very comprehensive dining menu

We had a pre-show meal at this restaurant on 11 January 2023. It is very conveniently situated, approximately 100 metres from the Empire Theatre. The menu is not extensive - four or five choices for each of the three courses but having said that the...

Great place to go before the royal court

A bit quiet, food nice and staff helpful.

A great atmosphere in this bar and you will quite often bump into some of the stars that have been on stage, Andrew Schofield, Linzi Germain, Keddy Sudden, Paul Duckworth, Liam Tobin, to name but a few and they are always ready to chat to you👍👍

Great place to eat before going to the Royal Court

Had a lovely meal and drinks here January 2022 with my partner his sister and her fiancé before seeing a show at the Royal Court. We ordered from the festive menu and all the food was lovely. The place had a great atmosphere and the...

Food is reasonably priced and something for everyone. X

Went for meal before a show at Royal Court. The staff were friendly and efficient, the food was first class, and for anyone who loves 'people watching', being able to look out over Queens Square and St George's hall is great.

Been to Courtyard several times now and each time has been great. The staff are friendly and professional and the food is excellent quality and price. Has great views of St George's hall and has a lovely atmosphere in the restaurant, especially during our most...

Always eat there when going to see a play or show. Tonight what happened have they changed the kitchen. The staff were fantastic as always but the food? Prawn cocktail to start 4 prawns in a plastic cocktail glass with 2 bits of lettuce slice of lemon bit of sauce. No plate for plastic glass to sit on or your spoon or folk to go on. Main meal pan fried sea bass on a bed of cold sauce potatoes and stem broccoli. Only one fillet of sea bass usually get two. The fish was hot and cooked lovely obviously cooked fresh but rest of meal had been on the plate for god knows how long Did complain and was not charged for my drinks but would have sooner had a good meal. Once agai fantastic staff but what's happening in the kitchen .

6 of us had a meal there on Saturday 5th November. We all had different dishes, I had pancetta wrapped chicken with root veg. OMG it was amazing. Definitely returning with my hubby. Fantastic food and price 👌

I very rarely give 5* but the food was excellent, couldn't fault any of the dishes we had. A family of five, all different meals. All very good. Good prices as well, not over priced.

Arrived in a wheelchair, ramp outside front door so accessible, however there is no access to the restaurant upstairs, but bar downstairs and toilets accessible.Staff were lovely and very accommodating. Food was stunning. Would recommend.

Good value pre theatre set menu, excellent fish and chips. Would reccomend to friends and definitely use again.

Great meal , great staff. Good central location

Fantastic 3 course meal at a great price

Want to say a massive THANK YOU to Emma and all the team for helping us with our wedding celebrations at Courtyard Bar and Kitchen this August. Our guests had the best time, the wedding dinner and the evening buffet was delicious and filling, the service was on point, the location was so convenient and venue was well maintained. All staff were so helpful and approachable, couldn’t fault any part of this venue or the staff. All of our guests were really impressed and many said they will be back for the food. The day was perfect! Thank you all at Courtyard Bar and Kitchen for the perfect day!

We decided to try the pre-theatre meal at the Courtyard after receiving a promotional e-mail. Bit nervous given it was to be the first time at the Courtyard. It turned out to be a most satisfactory experience, however. Both the food and service were very...

Arrived early evening for a meal for two. Drinks are poor. Bar, restaurant and toilets were filthy and looked very scruffy. Very loud music playing, which was annoying. Meal arrived and was almost inedible. Risotto was so spicy, it was difficult to eat. Cheesecake was...

Had a beautiful meal of Duck Resotto, the service was excellent. The photo was of a lemon tart we had for dessert.

Large party booked in for a lunch. Really well organised and accommodating, food was great too. Thank you to all the staff.

Lovely place atmosphere is lovely staff are so friendly and the food is delicious

Excellent Cod and Chips well worth a visit 5 Star Service. Staff Excellent Customer Service and there when needed a great place to eat.

I booked here before a show and had a great pre show meal and drinks in the outside area. Only small criticism was how loud the music was, but this was only very minor. The prices are probably below average but the food is certainly...

Good service good food very nice surroundings, only thing spoiled it was certain very loud patrons.

Oh my good lord. Came before a show for tea with mum and dad and I am just so impressed. Everything is wonderful. The staff are second to none, very attentive very kind very informative and very customer focused. The drinks are reasonably priced and...

Everything about the restaurant the people who work there and above all the food all FABULOUS

I opted for the set lunch menu and I have never been so disappointed we ordered the starter of smoked salmon and pickled fennel salad and it looked the strangest combination just salmon and pickle and not very attractive it just set the tone for...

Nice early evening menu but no real ale available when we visited.

So lucky to discover this place and enjoy a pre theatre dinner with a great view. I had the bruschetta and chicken wrapped in pancetta which I can honestly say was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Lovely staff, great service and a...

Delicious set menu - swift service and lovely atmosphere. Perfect for getting to our show at the empire. Highly recommend.

Lovely food and great service . And the cocktails are amazing!!

What to say, we had the two course for £18 and would have happily paid more. The food was stunning and the staff were great. Mille was fab, engaging and attentive. I couldn't choose as there was so much to pick from. From start to...
