Liverpool One Bridewell Bar And Restaurant in Liverpool

Just out of the center but a great atmosphere and good pints.

Great bar and table service. Characterful pub with a mix of all ages rubbing along nicely together.

Best pub on Liverpool city centre ,great ales , great service 👍

A wonderfully quirky pub situated in what used to be a bridewell. There's always a great selection of real ales & Continental bottled beers.

Superb place staff were amazing

Really disappointing experience. We were told my friend (who is gay) could not be served alcohol because he was ‘too drunk’ despite him being in a perfectly coherent state. I asked the manager why this was the case and he repeatedly told me he did not need to give me a reason as he was the licensee and if we were supportive friends we should have gone elsewhere. He claimed my friend walked straight into the bar and into several people but refused to give any CCTV evidence of this on the grounds that he is the licensee and does not need to provide a reason. He repeatedly pointed in my face in an aggressive manner, despite me asking twice for him not to do so. He suggested we would be better off drinking elsewhere as other places may be less ‘strict.’ We were also subjected to homophobic abuse by the clientele as we left the bar. A really sad and disappointing experience, very ashamed that anywhere in my home city would display such a lack of inclusivity. Needless to say we will not be returning and I would certainly not recommend this establishment to anyone.

Great atmosphere, staff are fantastic. Will definitely visit again soon.

Excellent pub, great choice of superb beers and superb staff. Interesting place nothing not to love

Don't do food Probably best pub in Liverpool, Dom and staff are brilliant

Quiet place, rich in history and excellent beer

This is the place to be absolutely lo ed it there on our weekend stay in Liverpool.

As a wheelchair user I found the management and staff were more than helpful to also my family who had my great great grandson with really us appreciated you all

Best service you could want from a pub, every time I visit.

Nice and friendly pub can get busy at time but great atmosphere 👌

Great pub with large selection of drinks and service from staff is great too.

Really quirky pub with great choice of real ale

Neat location, excellent Guinness!

Nice freindly staff staff, clean, and beers good but expensive.

Great boozer with some of the best service you’ll find in Liverpool. On a busy match day the staff are switched on and ready, so you won’t be waiting long. They will also provide table service to prevent a crush inside and they operate like a well oiled machine - great stuff guys. I have never been inside one of the booths/cells, but it’s a cool quirky feature. Outside is great with plenty of cover and heat lamps if it’s cold, tvs everywhere (main bar, outside, inside each booth/cell) and cracking tunes playing when there isn’t a match on. A good selection of German lager and they do seem to take pride in their Guinness which was good to see (although my pints on this particular visit could have been poured better, it tasted great). It’s very busy on Saturdays or when a match is on, so keep that in mind, but this place comes highly recommended.

What can I say… The Bridewell is the best pub in Liverpool. The Feel Of The Pub Is Authentic… After a Social Bike Ride They Are Happy To accommodate us whilst we have the bikes. Love the place. The People The Pub and The Staff… Very Attentive… Thanks Dom And The Staff.

Visited here 2 weeks ago with my fellow Mr. Brian NASH (of Frankie Goes To Hollywood) where they founded the band FGTH in early 80's and spent wonderful time for hours. Bridewell-come to the Pleasuredome! ♥️😊

Absolute gem of a heritage pub smack in the middle of Liverpool. This was an experience for me. I enjoyed a delicious pint of Guinness in this former Victorian police station. Great atmosphere and a great place to kick back with friends and sink a pint or two. If you're in Liverpool, then this is a bucket list pub.

Excellent service. Well run. Great choice of drinks. Good beer.

Loved it! Cant wait to go back.

Fantastic place I do enjoy visiting this bar all the staff are very friendly and helpful great selection of beers will be back soon

Great place unique being an old police station the cells with the is doors on are really cool

One of the best pubs in Liverpool

Fantastic venue, fantastic service 👏 thank you Dom and Luke, always a warm welcome

Great little bar, bar tender was super human!

What a cool bar this is, wanted to come here for a long time and finally done it Not had a look at the cells yet, hopefully next time

Visited here yesterday for a couple of hours for drinks, never noticed it before but would definitely recommend to everyone in Liverpool now. Tucked away and a proper hidden gem. Really quirky and still has a lot of the original features, love the little booths that used to be prison cells. The drinks were great and great prices but the reason for leaving the review was the staff. Amazing service from the two guys behind the bar, so friendly and so quick serving everyone providing table service and coming over to the table to collect payment. Barely had to move all night and their energy was infectious. Loved it and would definitely return.

Excellent service, good selection of beers in a smart environment. Didn't eat there so can't comment on food.

Up in Liverpool to watch Palace at Everton. Found the Bridewell through Google Maps and settled down to enjoy a couple of first rate pints, in one of the cells. My son recognised the licensee as being the manager of the Fly in the Loaf that we had visited some 7 years ago before a Liverpool Uni open day and who gave us outstanding customer service, above and beyond. Dominic, understandably has gone on to new heights and instills the importance of making customers feel most welcome (despite being banged up in a cell!) A truly unique and outstanding hostelry. Will certainly return on our next visit!

Loved it .. good how they've made an old police station into pub and kept all the features

Very interesting and unusual pub. Has a number of "booths" set in the old cells, either side of a central corridor. Very good service and a nice range of beers.

Popped in for a quick drink, busy place, but quick friendly service. Guy even apologised for asking our daughter for her ID.. Good happy atmosphere.. Definitely recommend it

Nice little pub, ex jail I believe.

Staff are unreal. Superbly friendly and incredibly friendly. Had a party in there and it was perfect. Can't thank the team there enough.

This has to be a must visit management and staff are very friendly and helpful. I always call in for a few Beers when visiting from Glasgow. Dominic keep up the high standards it's appreciated 👏

Great place great Beer 🍻 great Staff. All in all a great place.

A great place to chill and enjoy the ales and atmosphere

A fantastic little place. The staff are top class, always there with a smile and even bring your drinks over if ye like. Atmospheric place too. But for me, the pièce de résistance is the superb Guinness, the best in Lpool for me 👌🏼😋

Great bar. Lots of character and we were even lucky enough to get a seat inside one of the old cells. Definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Liverpool.

Great pub, lots of guest beers. I really like The Bridewell it's one of my favourites.

Absolutely cracking pub, nothing negative to say

Good selection of beers. Nice seating areas inside and out, clean toilets always a bonus. Just a really nice place to have a bevvy and relax.

For fans of great beer this is the place……for people who believe in service this is the place……for fans of down to earth… right on 👍

Tricky to find at first, but once you know, it's a must. Great selection of continental lagers and a few real ales on tap. The corridor with the old prison cells down the middle, creates a unique atmosphere and gives you a sense of the building's history.

A lovely relaxing evening quenching in this welcoming hostelry. Friendly staff and Warsteiner on draught. Perfect.

Really great pub, best landlord in Liverpool.

Lovely pub, great beer selection, friendly and knowledgeable staff.

We came in for drinks, so can't comment on the food. Loved the atmosphere - so much so, we came back for a second visit. Great place - love the history!

Amazing old pub based in the old cells of the Liverpool Bridewell. Cosy seating booths inside the old cells and outdoor seating in a courtyard with some cover and nice decor

Excellent Beer, friendly people

A regular in the Good Beer Guide, would also be a worthy entry in any Good Pub Guide - well worth a visit to see what you can do with a redundant Police Station.

Nice place for a few beers. They offer several beers on draught but also a few (very good) bottled German beers. Good atmosphere. Locals are friendly to tourists.

Great selection of beers in a quaint and quirky building. Staff friendly and helpful. First time I've had a pint in prison!

Great service and excellent beers. The location and atmosphere is excellent.

One of the best places in Liverpool to get a pint. Hidden gem

Great and interesting place to visit and have a drink, we never had food here so couldn’t comment but would definitely return. The people running the place were extremely pleasant. Excellent!!

Simply Best pub in Liverpool ❤️🍻

Excellent beers , fabulous staff.

Great little pub with such a nice atmosphere. The drinks selection isn’t the best but still worth visiting if you’re looking for a relaxed chilled evening

Fantastic layout. Great craft beer selection. Friendly staff. Great spots bar. Nice individual booths with own tv's. Great pub.

Enjoyed a fabulous retirement do upstairs for valued member of staff, Ged! Downstairs, in courtyard and outside was buzzing with lots of people enjoying n early Friday evening drink and catchup. Lovely cross section of people, no trouble just laughter and chat. The actual building is of course steeped in history, and features not only remain intact but have become the signature of the place. Lots of decent, efficient and friendly staff, amazing selection of drinks - hubby beaming as glutenfree beer on tap. Just brilliant and worth a visit or few!!

Historic but in my opinion hidden from public view pub (i.e. you are unlikely to walk past it). But well worth a detour an absolute gem.

The Bridewell is one of the best pubs in Liverpool by far! The service is fantastic, Dominic always makes you feel so welcome and makes the conscious effort to say hello and speak to you. The staff are great, so friendly, welcoming and give you personal service. Brilliant selection of drinks and at good prices. The inside has all the original features maintained, whilst being fresh and has the cosy feel. Fabulous pictures hanging on the walls giving you some additional history. Thank you Bridewell gang!

Have been here a few times now and I love it. Outside of the jail cell rooms and prison feeling I genuinely think they serve some of the best beer in town. They have great options including German wheat beers and I find it fairly priced given it's location. Will drop in anytime I'm in the area as it's always a good atmosphere too.

Fair prices in a quirky pub ( former police station)

You can't complain about the service. Unique experience sitting in old police cells and ordering from the table. Beer on offer was very good

It's definitely a place to visit if in Liverpool Excellent service nice owner Sit in a cell soak up the atmosphere 👍

There is no better service then the Bridewell, they are a prime example of how serve and look after customers

Great place with superb beer. Warsteiner is the best beer and you get a lovely pint here. Good service at the bar. Well done 👍

Love this place. Busy but bar team excellent and efficient. Would recommend

Smaller than I imagined it to be inside, but very cool and a great atmosphere! Staff very friendly and attentive and drinks were lush, worth a visit 😊

What a cracking pub this is in an old police station. The cells have been turned into drinking pods for a more intimate drink for smaller groups. We sat out in the courtyard as it was a pleasant evening. Very nice place to enjoy a pint of Guinness. 5/5 stars from me.

Sensational pub. Tremendous bar team who look after you with first class customer service. Great selection of beer and ale too. Must visit pub in Liverpool right at the heart of the city centre

A unique building with excellent service and a friendly atmosphere

Really nice bar! With comfy seats inside and outside when it's sunny!

Very nice place to call in you sit in police cells, lovely place make you feel welcome

Fantastic quirky. Great choice of drinks. Service is brilliant. Staff come round and ask you if you want more drinks. There are fragranced candles burning in the toilets which isn't great for me as I don't like them but they don't affect the atmosphere

The best pub we found on our day out in Liverpool, very friendly owner, good drinks and beautifully converted old police station, where you can drink in the old cells!

It's the coolest pub in town, great beers, and super friendly staff.

As pub landlords ourselves, we consider it only fair to give the Bridewell the highest possible rating that we can, we didn’t have food, but, what stands out for us is the quality of service and warm welcome received, the two guys on the bar are an absolute credit to the owners, and they were constantly working to make sure everyone was attended to and keeping the tables clean and clear of glasses, the hospitality industry has had a hard time in the last few years and it’s enlightening to see that some people still understand the meaning of the word ‘hospitality’ well done guys, and thank you.

Massively atmospheric and charming. Converted prison cells now open and perfect for seating groups of revellers. No food consumed.

Great atmosphere and a fantastic range of beers and ciders.

Lovely pub. Off the beaten track. Love the way they have converted the old cells into cubicles.

We love this place, sitting having a pint in an old victorian police cell is quite a weird experience but one you defo have to try staff are amazing

Very original atmosphere in a former prison! Very good beers!

Great pub. Really friendly staff. Table service - what a treat!!!

First time visit from a reccomend. lovely pub. Great staff and looking forward to going again.

Very interesting place. Good selection of beers, very friendly staff. Only downside - no food. Worth a visit.

Nice friendly place beer was great staff can't do enough for you definitely be going back soon 👍

A very unusual pub in that it is a former police station. There are smaller rooms available, they used to be the cells. Beer is well kept

Lovely historic building, was a prison, now a pub. Excellent food and drink. Service excellent too, despite being busy the lady came to table to take orders and bring drinks.

A great selection of beers and a unique setting

After day at races popped in for a few. Good selection of real ales , great atmosphere sat in a cell.

It was just next door so it would have been rude not to drop in. Very busy. Lucky to find seats. Nice pint of XPA. Felt like most people were regulars, but still a good atmosphere.

Some friends who are local to the area introduced us to the Bridewell on a recent trip to Liverpool - what a fantastic place this is!! There’s a lovely sheltered (and sometimes sunny) courtyard, and lots of query nooks and crannies to explore in what used to be a police station. We loved how the old custody cells have been made into individual rooms with brick vaulted ceilings and tiny windows high on the walls. There’s even an iron ring set in the wall for misbehaving prisoners. We were here for drinks, but takeaway food can be ordered from the Italian restaurant just over the road. A great venue with happy and obliging staff - we loved it here!

Great pub with excellent staff and a good range of beers
