Love and Rockets in Liverpool

A bit pricey, but food servings are quite large. Taxidermy decor is offputting. Good vibes.

Amazing burger and pizza! Big portions at a good price! Comfortable and warm environment and friendly staff.

I’ve never written a review or complained but genuinely so disappointed with the 40 minute wait time (it was very quiet) poor service, ice cold chips and burger which was burnt! We ate as much of it as we could because we were starving after waiting so long. None of the staff came to ask how the food was, so at the end of the meal we explained, we had to ask for a refund the staff didn’t offer us one , we only got £2 off our nearly £20 meals and no apology. We came here for a celebration and left very unhappy. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Very busy when we arrived. Lots of food orders all at the same time so we had a bit of a wait before our food arrived. When it did it was hot and well cooked. It was also very delicious. Great selection of drinks too. Will definitely come back.

Service is so slow when ordering drinks. They have a huge bar and only utilise a fraction of it on their busiest nights. Lucky to wait less than 15 minutes to order at the bar

Nice undercover seating outside. Great coffee and staff were nice.

personally i would rate this as one of the best spots on lark lane. plenty of seating both indoors and outside, a good and busy atmosphere, and a good vibe for food/ drinks or both! lots of food options with good portion sizes and fair prices. The pizzas are soo yum. definitely recommend if going to lark lane!

We were served by such a lovely girl called Kirsty. She made us feel so welcome. We love the place. Pete & Esther x

I’ve just moved to the area and this was the first place I came for a drink. Such a vibe. Can’t wait to make this my new local.

Was really looking forward to eating in here for a belated birthday meal. Ordered food it took up an hour to arrive had to chase it up at the bar. When we got our food the majority of it was stone cold we could only eat our burgers these were lukewarm and we was really hungry by this point. No one asked us how our meals were, staff did not seem interested walked past us several times. Didn’t want to ruin the night more so we left very disappointed as this restaurant looked nice for a birthday meal. Paid nearly £60 for food that we didn’t enjoy.

The driest most bland salt and pepper fries I’ve ever had in my life. Literally stale oven chips with a load of raw chilli & spring onion on. Out of the 3 staff members I interacted with not one of them smiled. Waitress asked do I want cutlery with my food…………..

This lively bar on Lark Lane is a good place for a casual drink with friends. There is a good selection of drinks, cocktails, and beers on tap, and dogs are welcome in the outside seating area. When we arrived late Tuesday afternoon there were a handful of tables to sit at outdoors but most had empty glasses or plates on them. However, inside the pub was very clean, with modern decor. The menu at Love and Rockets has mainly pub-style dishes: chicken wings, loaded fries, salads, and burgers. There are several vegetarian options to choose from. Unfortunately when we visited there were a many items unavailable (all of the pizzas, the halloumi burger), but our second (or third!) choices were tasty. We enjoyed the barbecued sweetcorn but the taco salad bowl was too greasy for our liking. The portions are plentiful, so although this isn't a place for cheap eats, you get a good amount of food for the price you pay.

The burgers were pretty poor. Cheap meat, cheap buns. Wetherspoons quality but without the Wetherspoons price. The service was terrible. When I ordered at the bar, rather than walk to the counter so she could hear me, the server stood by the till and shouted over, across another customer who was ordering from a different server. Unsurprisingly she couldn’t hear me, but rather than take a few steps over she just stood by the till. Had to repeat my order 3 times. Not even the minimal level of effort. Nice venue but I wouldn’t go back.

The food took a while to be served , also my salad was filled with alot of jalapeños which I hate as it never said it was in the salad , I could not enjoy it at all ,also the chicken Caesar salad had to much Parmesan cheese all over it .

No air-con and it is sweltering on a hot day.

Every time we visit lark lane we always call in love this place, and now they have a outside area it's even better.

Had a business meeting here. Relaxed atmosphere, great staff. Food was delicious, had char Sui chicken tenders, reasonably priced and well seasoned. The door staff we great, polite and well presented. Overall, a great evening, highly recommend

So we came here based on recommendations they had Lonkero (gin in a tin as it seems to be referred to in Liverpool). Both the original and the newer pineaple flavour. There was a deal 5 cans for £23 and they came in a big ice bucket. Lovely outdoor area, service was Nice. Had a really lovely time thank you. I may be biased as a Finn but Hartwell Lonkero over ice alfresco is the perfect day!

Look these places are needed and I never yuk somebodies yum, but ain't for me it wad averagely experience all round. Some will lobe it though so each to their own

Only had drinks, nice atmosphere

Nice place, food nice(eventually), but service wasn't good on our visit. Ordered our food at the bar, 5 meals, and wasn't told there was a 30 minute wait. When we asked a member of staff (after about 25 mins), where they were, we were then told they would be with us within the following 15 minutes, as there was a 30 minute wait! So a 45 minute wait in effect! Not great! 5/10

Great atmosphere and energy! We stopped in after a all day family get together and had some pints and shandy’s. Great service and vibe- the kitchen closes at 10 pm-

There are no words to describe what happened in 2024 at this supposedly forward-thinking establishment in Liverpool. My friends and I, two couples, were turned away from dinner tonight because my black friend was wearing a tracksuit. We promptly left and dined elsewhere. On our way back, we saw three white men exiting the restaurant, all in tracksuits. When we questioned the security guard about this apparent double standard, his response was, 'They've been here since 5 PM.' If there's a dress code, it should apply consistently and from the start—no exceptions. Respect should be shown to everyone, irrespective of their race or ethnicity. Please learn to treat all customers with fairness and dignity.

Title: Evident Racial Discrimination Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5) During a recent visit to the restaurant with my girlfriend and another couple, I was unjustly denied entry because my elegant trousers were mistaken for a tracksuit. Seeking a fair explanation, we left to dine elsewhere. Upon our return, we witnessed four white men in actual Nike tracksuits exiting the restaurant. When I confronted the doorman about the apparent double standard, the response was both unsatisfactory and illogical, claiming those individuals had been inside since 5 PM. The inconsistency in policy enforcement, witnessed by all four of us, strongly suggests a racial motive, as the only discernible difference was my mixed race. This disturbing experience in 2024 is a stark reminder that racial discrimination still exists and must be actively addressed. I urge the management of the restaurant to reconsider their policies and training to prevent such discriminatory practices. Until substantive changes are made, I cannot recommend this establishment.

I had the fish tacos and honestly they weren't bad but I feel like a fish finger sandwich would be better value. Cocktail menu very good and super tasty 👌

Really good atmosphere and pizza. Nice to sit by the log burner on a cold day.

Went in for lunch on a monday afternoon. Very quiet but nice. Quite a few dogs inside too. Food took forever, to the point we had to inquire and was then told there were items we had ordered that werent available?! All was good though. Staff were lovely and its alot bigger inside than out, its like a tardis!!! Cocktails were lovely and i will go back again.

Was there for family re-union (1 brother travelled from Scotland too) . Lovely friendly atmosphere, Bar staff were very pleasant.. Will definitely return again ..

Dog friendly, food and drink spot on

Came here with my partner for a few birthday drinks March 2023 place was booming but managed to get a seat. Was a good atmosphere with everyone enjoying themselves.

Really nice dog friendly pub with a good vibe, nice music and good drinks, but not sure what happened today, the food wasn't as good as expected. It took over an hour for 2 pizzas and 2 burgers to be done (thenplacebwasn't wven crowded, we were there around 2 p.m. ), we actuallt had to go and ask about it and 1-2 minutes after, itnwas served. The patties were overcooked and burned, and barely warm..

lovely atmosphere with gorgeous interior, great selection of drinks and the fries were delicious!

Very friendly great service a wide variety of beer & food, I would highly recommend. Large sitting area inside and outside, children welcome

Aside from one kid running around the place unsupervised this was a lovely place to drop in on Lark Lane. Great beer selection and the portions are huge.

I had the pleasure of talking to Reece and his female co-worker - whose name I regretfully didn't ask for. Whilst ordering, I asked if they had any recommendations of what to do during my visit in Liverpool. They very kindly wrote a long list of places and establishments for us to visit and Reece went through it with us at our table. Thank you. The location, food and cocktails were all excellent as well. The burger I got absolutely slapped. Will certainly be back next time I am in Liverpool.

A fantastic place for food and drinks in Liverpool. It’s a very busy place but plenty of seating throughout the venue so having a table isn’t a problem. The food was great, especially the Halloumi fries and the drinks service was speedy, despite it being busy during the festive period.

Brilliant staff.made me a old cocktail not on the menu.the service is fantastic.

Atmosphere is good but the food lets it down ordered a smash burger and was just an ordinary burger definitely not smashed wouldn’t order food from there again

Very nice atmosphere nice pint to

Very warm and welcoming the staff are very kind and helpful pluss the food was extremely tasty and well presented. Thank you for making us feel welcome and we had a great meal. Just one more thing the restaurant is very clean and tidy I would highly recommend 👌

Good venue spoilt by antisocial set-up. Definitely one for the 'iphone pro', 'mkay bro' 'protein shake' crowd.

Good but vegetarian food needs some work. Cheese on Halloumi burger was too thick and over flavoured with the spice it was cooked in.

Visited love and rockets yesterday. Its was very busy! Food was lovely but we waited so long for it. The people we were with had finished their food before ours arrived which was disappointing but the staff are lovely and the atmosphere was great! Would return

My friend and i had a catch up day here, food was awful, served cold and literally thrown on the table(£40 worth), staff looked miserable, no smiles and when asked for a dronk at the bar, it was a what do you want type of attitude, usually we go here alot but last few times, food and service been shockingly bad. The bar in itself is usually vibrant.

We like Love & Rockets for the atmosphere, Lark lane is one of our favourite places to go. My friend and i visited here on a sunday afternoon got two dishes each to share. Food came out it looked lovely, food was luke warm, chilli nachos(cold), halloumi fries(hard), baja tacos(rubbery) buffalo tenders(soggy). We literally had a bite and left it, £40 on food. The gitl who came over to clear table asked what was wrong,told her the good was cold and unedible and in a patronising manner she just smiled shrugged her shoulders and saof i'll pass it on to the chef. Staff looked miserable and a fair few looked like they didn't want to be there.. awful customer service, awful food,shame cause it's such a nice bar to go to

Terrible service. Waiting 50 minutes for pizza and chips only to be told that the order hadn’t been processed and that it would be prepared then. They offered us a round of drinks, we declined as we were driving and asked if we could order deserts in said to which they said yes. We ordered one desert then later on ordered another. Apple pie was dire, clearly out of a frozen packet. Rest of food was mediocre at best. We waited over half an hour for second desert which never arrived. On asking the waitress how long it will be she said the order hadn’t been processed as we needed to pay for it! On confronting the waitress with the fact that we had been waiting this whole time and that she had never communicated that we would need to pay for it. She deflected all responsibility by running off crying to her manager. On speaking to the manager all that was offered as explanation was that there was a ‘miscommunication’, v little interest was shown to trying to establish the series of events, the poor customer experience or culpability of the waitress. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

Really great place, food was good and drinks were even better! We couldn’t see a disabled toilet in clear view, not sure if it was in the closed off section at the back and the stairs are pretty steep so keep this in mind if you go! Other than that, it was a lovely experience 💕

Fantastic bar staff and service second 2none .. Large selection of beers etc.. A must 4anybody Also dog friendly ❤️🦄❤️

We came to this place and were very pleased they have a nice outside areas, fair prices, and very nice nachos, we enjoyed a lot. It was self service its a good place to go with your friends for some drinks

Had a great time! Destiny was so nice and welcoming. 😃

Waited 45 minutes for a pizza and a portion of fries. Staff unhelpful. Tables not cleared for an age and then not sprayed and wiped down. Chips left on table and paper napkins left on floor. Definitely one to avoid.

Love this place a nd a great way to spend a final meal with my daughter before she leave Liverpool

Great place to eat and relax on Lark Lane

Food was OK Until my partner told me to eat a red hot pepper 🌶️🥵😄

Don't pay before. Order plain Jane burgers. Fresh patty burgers, from the eightey's. Not of quality of birds eye. Think out of old tin. Only take one bite & return. Goe elsewhere Chippey be better quality. May be a mc Donald's. Beware AVOID OR BECOME ANOTHER VICTIMS

I’ve been here many times and always had good food, cocktails and service. This week I have been twice , I got the chilli loaded fries which I have had before, they were shoved on a small plate, the chilli was luke warm and soaked In guacamole on top, couldn’t even eat them, the chicken pizza was also undercooked and very spicy. I then went again today with a friend and got a Caesar salad which was a whole big bowl of lettuce with a few croutons and bits of chicken, the Parmesan was left off and my friend got the vegan brownie which was supposed to have Forrest fruits which were also nowhere to be seen. Presuming it’s a new chef and not sure why there is no longer any table service

Food is great, friendly staff and quick service.

Food is always really nice here. Even though it can look busy at the bar, the staff are really quick. Nice to sit outside too if you can get a seat!

Tasty generous portions of food. Quick and efficient service. Perfect location for soaking up the Lark Lane vibes especially on a sunny day.

Great bar and I would really recommend you visit.

BEST VEGAN BURGER IVE HAD. BIG PORTION SIZE. VERY CRISPY. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS 😋

Food good and the portions are huge

Great place to get some solid food. Good service, great selection of lagers and spirits. Loads of tellys that have the match on. Plenty of seating as well as a large outdoor area. It is a family friendly venue as well as a good place for groups to gather.

Terrible food, TERRIBLE service!!!! The staff were horrifically rude after I mentioned I had been waiting 1hr 20 for food.

Great lively bar, food looks so good. Did not get a chance to eat but will definitely be back.

This is a great bar that is surprisingly quite big inside. It’s so comfortable with dimmed lighting and decor, even board games etc to keep you occupied. Food was really nice and nicely presented. Staff are also very friendly Would definitely recommend

Really nice place ,great atmosphere,and lovely food

Chilled place to watch the game, needs table service though

Last week i gave the bar man 20 note, and my bill was 9 pound and he gave me only 1 pound back, and i told him i gave you 20 pound. But he was rude and i consider that as a theif, i recommend to the owner to check his workers, and also he was racist. And again last night i was there again and he was looking at me talking pointing at me. Finally also last night i still don't belive that a glass of white house wine cost 9.50 as i bought 4 glasses and the bill was 38 pound which is honestly weird so i paid but i am never going there again so does all my friends so be careful anyone from them specially at night when you a bit drunk, they will Rob you

El sitio está bien, muy bien ambientado y tieníen buena comida, pero cuando estuvimos tardaron en servirnos más de 1 hora

It's a good place to visit and drink, but definitely not to talk… The music is always VERY loud.

Lovely Food and drinks. Staff very nice and helpful and in a lovely location. Will definitely return.

Cold...pizzas took an age to arrive, albeit nice.

Dog friendly, gorgeous warm fire, also meet with friends here with my 3 year old to play snakes and ladders 😂 a favourite!

Design In the place was really nice decoration was good. However, food was very slow waited over 1 hour for food. The loaded fries and chicken tenders were nice hut the burgers were not the best, burnt buns . Do not recommend.

Nice bar, good food, great people.

Lovely atmosphere, tasty food and good service. Good selection of drinks... a favourite of ours!

Cool place friendly staff. Good quiz. Lively atmosphere.

Great location average food/drinks Nice pint of Camden hell's but paying 2/3 quid for a diet coke then being given a can and a glass felt like I was in a social club. Also the server knew we were eating but we had too pay for the drinks at the table before we ordered the food which is odd.The Caesar salad was dry and not much sauce , the Margherita pizza wasn't far off what you get in a supermarket and we had too pick all the chopped up uncooked oregano or basil off the top as it totally overpowered the taste, I got the standard burger and it was either grease or a very watery sauce thatwent everywhere proper messy eat that, shame really considering where it is, the waist thing was after leaving and being told by the wife how disgusting the toilets where also so never again

After being told it's table service, we waited for 20mins and no staff went past. Left to go elsewhere for food and came back to try again and this time order at the bar for a drink so we wouldn't be left waiting again. Staff just ignored us at the bar as we waited and just made drinks for people who must have managed to order! Won't bother again, lots of friendly and helpful places up the road.

Love the vibe of Love and Rockets,reasonably priced food and beers,fully recommend going 👌

Pleasant environment with good drinks and food Pizzas are lovely

Nice place on lark lane ok menu a bit pricy

Staff treat you like you're lucky to be in there. Was told table service only, fine! Sat down and waited 20 mins to order. Then for next round was told to order at the bar as table service finished at 9pm. Went to the bar to be told no bar service till 9.30. During all of this was still waiting for over an hour for some nachos. Asked the waitress where they were, she said she'd check then just kept walking past us without any update. Eventually got her attention to ask about the update on the nachos and she angrily says I haven't had time to check yet I'm busy, like we're inconveniencing her for even asking. At this point there are about 5 or 6 staff just standing at the end of the bar chatting away. Since we can't order a drink, can't order food, and the staff are very rude, we ask for a refund on the nachos. Then someone else walks past and slams £10.50 on the table by reaching in between two of us without saying a word. Extremely rude staff, zero customer service skills, never been treated like that before in a bar. Plenty of great bars on Lark Lane, won't be going here again.

Mmmmmmmmmm! Vegan chilli nachos!

Just had a couple of glasses of wine. Good service

Great atmosphere brilliant service lovely touch given a chilled glass

Ended up on a friend's work night out here.....only do table service which I understand during covid but not now.......waited ages for service......lovely place but maybe need to change a few things

Great bar, shame about the toilets. Good food, great ambiance. Nice outside space though beware of the rats scurrying around.

I was 1st customer in today but it didn't make any difference the service was still friendly polite and quick with drink landing as I sat down and food 20 minutes later, not warmed up muck but tasty spicy chilli chips, as far as casual food goes this place has to be high on your places to visit in Lark Lane

The food was very tasty and fulfilling. As someone who will gladly smash through a 2 for Tuesdays, or a big Maccies meal, the food here actually was quite filling. Had a bacon loaded fries (without spring onion) and a meat feast pizza!

Vegan burger a bit tragic compared to advertisement on menu and price and fryer oil a bit dodge. Cute dogs there though

Ordered double vodka and tonic could not taste any vodka trading standards must visit.

Went for a quick pint on a quiet Sunday night. Got charged £14 for a pint of lager and a medium glass of pinot. Checked the menu as I thought this was ridiculously expensive. Should have been £10.60. Eventually got a surly refund having complained. Up visiting from the south so presume this was a "tourist" scam. Check your bill!

Food and drinks nice but some staff rude

Massive venue around great tasty menu

Love and rockets is so obsessed with money that they only hire 16 year olds. Having table service, no one is around to take your order as everyone is 16. Don’t go here unless you want to wait 3 months for a pint.

Efficient staff, nice cocktail bit coupé glass a tad too small.

This is a adorable place, the beer was cold and the food was delicious. We ordered the L+R nachos and it was amazing, can be served for 2 people.

Lovely place and atmosphere, had few drinks and pizza.
