Mccooley's in Liverpool

Great bar. Excellent service. Just a shame on their drinks selection. They didn't have any spiced rums

We came here to watch the football or rugby game. Instead we had a really really bad blond singer. The sound was awful. Very disappointed ! Don't come here if you want to watch sport

Always great for a night out. Gets really busy

Great place. Drinks were decent. Didn't have food (not sure if they do food though). The music was awesome and atmosphere was pretty good! Defo going back.

Great place to listen to music or watch a game. Plenty of space, many screens, good food and efficient waiters.

We went for lunch at McCooley's, a first time visit. It's a typical Irish pub, with a cool, friendly vibe. There was table service (which we hadn't expected), and the staff were really nice. The menu is a bit limited, but ok and prices are reasonable. Unfortunately, just before our food arrived, the football match started, which was being televised and was on screens all over the pub. We hadn't particularly noticed the screens before, but when the match started, they put the sound on and it was so ridiculously loud that we literally had to shout at each other to continue our conversation! Otherwise - we really liked the place.

A really good bar in Liverpool has all Liverpool songs played around the bar.

Love the place Friendly staff, food very good Would recommend 👌

Superb location superb music, even better city

It's a sport bar, great if your team is playing. Lively at night pretty much dead during the day. Manic at weekends.

Bunch of RACISTS! I was deeply disappointed with the treatment my friends and I received at McCooleys recently. Despite being sober and not involved in any disturbance, we were unfairly removed by security after an accidental spill by a stranger. We were initially given no reason for our removal, no apologies and later faced false accusations of being drunk. This experience felt discriminatory and unprofessional. I'm still expecting a formal apology and assurance that this will not happen again. But the silence is very telling.

Fantastic pub always busy and great atmosphere

Great people work here, and it’s the staff who make a place great, cannot praise this place enough. And a very special thank you goes to Willow.

Awesome pub,staff friendly and chatty,will be returning in two weeks for more laughs and pool .

Came in at 10am for breakfast, we got an Irish fry and added on Hash browns. Very cheap was only £7.45 with a £1 extra charge for the Hash browns. And coffee or tea is included with unlimited refills. Food was hot and delicious, one of the best frya I've had in a long time!

Food was excellent friendly staff. Live singer was good.

About three months ago I rated this place as 4 stars (quiet, unassuming), but that was in the cold chaos of the 'Beast From the East'. In the warmer light of a late May day: friendly door staff, great beer selection, and wide - ranging inclusive music... Great bar. Difficult not to feel a bit old with the crowds of students roaming the venue. Give it a go though.

Excellent spot for some food, myself and a brother got burgers and chips and some cocktails. Food was fantastic highly recommend this place.

Bar only. Ideal for big groups. Live sports shown and beer garden with table service. Decent breakfast

We came this morning after a trip to Wetherspoons left us disappointed due to refurbishing it was closed. However, when we approached this place the girl there was absolutely lovely. We explained we were a hen party and there was 11 of us. We know it’s a big ask especially for smaller companies. We were sat in a great place, a nice long table. The waitress (Kaitlin; excuse me if I’ve spelt that incorrectly) took our orders so bubbly, lovely and polite. We explained my grandma was Coeliac and couldn’t consume Gluten. Kait was so accommodating to this checking all the allergen sheets to see what she could eat and helped us. Even checking the bean tin! I thought this were so professional. She then suggested Jacket Potato as these were gluten free for my grandma which was great. She took our order professionally splitting our bill appropriately to suit our needs. On taking our orders to what I presume was the kitchen. K seemingly got treat with absolute disgusting behaviour from some other member(s) of staff. Most definitely an overhead / manager. She came out to our table sobbing her heart out, we felt so bad. She apologised for selling jacket potatoes that weren’t allowed to be sold at that time (however menu didn’t state that). We chose other items and reassured her everything was ok and we would be fine. K was so upset, it actually hurt all of our parties souls. That someone above her would have made her that way all for a silly mistake that was corrected. The manager took her off our order and put someone else on our table. They got some drinks incorrect and some food orders wrong. If they left K with us I doubt these mistakes would have been made as she seemed an amazing member of staff and really reliable and I thought it just was not necessary to do so and make her look incapable. The woman who served us then in a white shirt wasn’t smiling or been friendly. She made us feel like we weren’t welcome. Our hen do had a great time food was lovely but not all meals were correct or drinks. We felt like we had to accept them to stop staff getting the brunt of the managers. K came and took all payments swiftly and so organised. Luckily by this time she had composed herself and started to get back to herself. All eleven of us said how amazing she is. I really think managers need to treat their staff with respect especially ones like Kaitlin she’s fantastic and a real credit to McCooleys. We will miss her!! I don’t want no trouble for anyone from this review, just staff to treat each other with more respect where it’s due.

** Honest Review ** Location for our group of 11 was perfect as we were staying nearby. We visited yesterday as part of my mums hen do in Liverpool. On arrival - welcoming and a lovely atmosphere Breakfast was nice and really enjoyed by all However, how our waitress was treated by staff above her was unprofessional. To make anyone feel so humiliated In front of 11 paying customers and feel like it was her fault that you are incapable of informing your customers of the times they can order (add this to the menu or inform your customers) also we are in 2024 you should be aware of gluten allergies and be more willing to cater for individuals with food allergies. Our waitress went above and beyond for all 11 of us and is a true credit to your business. Thank you so much for your time effort and your caring manner Caitlin! ⭐️⭐️

Ordered some light bits, took 30mins and burnt.... Shocking food! It's pay before you get the food....

Always go for breakfast but today waited so long. Then brought breakfast said wait on tea as no cups. Brought tea halfway through breakfast said only one teaspoon so use will have to share. Forgot sausages on big breakfast. One tea between 2 people it was unlimited so asked for another pot never got brought so walked out. Very disappointed

Awful..for rooms Service was good, good location

Upstairs. Plenty of room and TVs to watch the football final. Much quieter than downstairs.

Great bar great selection of beers

Fantastic large pub with large screens showing sport.industrialist looking pub with benches , booths and industrial lighting.very smart looking pub.only down side was there's not a huge selection of ales ,but prices are cheap

Yea nice place went for a pint and sat outside. It's ok

Great service, plenty of bars and pool tables. Large TVs for sports fans. Perfect location.

Not a bad place, would be much better if they didn’t have the same 2 people playing guitar / signing / banging the kick drum out of time 24 hours a day at ridiculously loud volumes

I popped in for a drink I didn't have food but the staff seemed friendly.

Shows sports on many screens but also has music

Great place for a drink. Great atmosphere too

My review is biased based on personal preference. Concert Square is a party zone with lots of bars clustered together. This is so not my scene so I couldn't really enjoy thzis experience. The bar itself is huge - it's an Irish sports bar so perfect for watching sporting events etc. Guinness in a plastic glass... Not for me thanks. Service was great though as staff are friendly and work with a smile.

Great night out if you like the song Freed from Desire played 100 times.

Great atmosphere, good live music and great service 👍

Went to bar to order breakfast was told table service fair enough, so sat down 15 mins later still no order been taken others who had walked in after us had there order taken wouldn’t mind were a group of 11 so couldn’t be forgotten about, one order was finally taken server was very rude we asked for additional extras which shouldn’t of been a issue but was made to feel like it was a massive problem

Good place for a Breakfast the wait staff are very attentive and the food is excellent.

They know how to work and are stationary people

On Sunday Night I tried to get into the Club but I was refuse entry by the Irish Bouncer but it had nothing to do with me being on me own it's more of had something to him not liking me he just said no before I was even giving a chance to get a word in this also happened not long ago too & I am rather concerned about this & it's only because I had a problem of getting in the Club a while back when the Irish bloke was working on the doors & I was wondering if he has got a problem with me or something which he seems to have.

Great pub in Liverpool in the centre of Nightlife, useful to watch football match with friends.

really expensive on a Saturday night for what it is. £8 doubles are just not justified. It's not even a club. The club across the road was selling £2 doubles for goodness sake.

Mccooley's is a lovely place to be with family and friends, good service and good price

Guinness is not great but good atmosphere

Top tier Bar/Pub, 2nd Tier food and the 3rd tier/floor smells of poop! Staff are nice but not enough of them. Good bar for watching sport!

A large bar. Very happy and friendly staff great service and atmosphere.

I highly recommend McCooley's. Great atmosphere, awesome friendly staff plus food is delicious.

Paddy's Day great atmosphere, live Music superb ☆☆☆☆☆

Nice place to go on a night out

Me and my son went for a game of pool it was £10.00 for 1 hour what is o.k but the 2 drinks was £10.00 as well over priced for 1 larger and 1 coke . Tables are a little to close together need to keep asking people to move...

Only drank in McCooleys watching rugby all afternoon. Live band inside too. Good food and excellent staff service. The outside square part was rocking and very lively when we came out and had been all afternoon. Great vibe

They are horible! Inwas going in at 23:30 they told me, that only woman were allowed, and treates with no respect! So manh optiones in liverpool! Thia is the worst!!!

Incredible service , hema was incredible so quick and on top of everything and making sure everything was perfec

Lovely food and staff so helpful.

visited here on monday. nice bar however the blonde girl (assuming she was a manager) was one of the rudest people i have ever met. horrible to both customers and staff. made the whole experience awful. will not be returning if she is working. everyone else was lovely.

Great place to watch a Liverpool match.

Ideal for students Sports events

Great night out. Safe and good atmosphere.

Always good DJ vibes here for late night dancing. Good bouncers and good drinks. Normal pricing for the area.

ALL Liverpool and Everton games shown here. EXCEPT on Saturday at 3pm Ko! So ALL Liverpool & Everton games are NOT shown here! Very expensive drinks £££. Waited over 20 minutes for a drink after ordering!

We didn't stay here. We came in for a drink and some food. While we were already there early, it was very, very quiet. It's quite a big vanu. There are pool tables if you want to have a little fun. We got Picky and had some food. There is a big menu and handy for little bits, as seen in the picture below. Good venu and busy at night.

The security guy was so rude and awful he wouldn’t let me in and im not coming here again until he is fired it was on tuesday 9 of January 2024

£5.90 for a pint . VERY OVER PRICED. The food was ok but once again VERY OVER PRICED

If you want a pint with a crowd in the bar, this is the place. Good music was being played by one of the bands was on.

good but got jackets and accessories stolen.

Came here today with my partner to grab some food and drinks and the place is lovely. Got some chicken tenders and potato skins which were amazing and the prices for drinks were cheap too. Had excellent service by Iqra who made sure we had everything we needed she was amazing. Would highly recommend this place.

Quite possibily the only Irish pub in the world where you turn invisible while standing at the bar. Nice bright, open space inside though.

Potato skins on sharing platter contained ham when not stated on menu.

Afternoon around 5pm, nothing happend.

Very big a nice pub also very clean. But the Service for food Extremely slow. 35 minute, wait

Just not a nice place to be. Smells funny, drinks taste funny, staff give me funny looks. Don't remember making any jokes, nor am I dressed like a clown. Need to sort their sh*t out

Great place to have a drink but long wait to get in. After 20mins wait to get in queue not gone down, left and went somewhere else

Stor bar med god atmosfære og både live musik og sport på storskærm

Busy club, good music and clean toilets.

Good bar and atmosphere. Nice staff. Always visit here when coming to Liverpool.

Had a great night here watching the rugby, food was excellent, service was excellent one of our top spots to go when we are in Liverpool

Cannot emphasise enough what a joke this place is. Save your money and spend it elsewhere. Management is inexperienced and unprofessional. would leave 0 stars if possible

On Friday 01/09/23 my little pen knife was taken off of me at the entrance which is understandable but when leaving I was told that I cannot pick it up until morning, got a bit annoyed but came back in the morning just to hear that they dont have it☹

Rubbish don't go. The music is stop and start, have a dj but don't think he does anything that's worth paying him. ABBA followed by west life followed by Bruno mars followed by west life again.. Lager was warm, the staff walking round all smell of Body Odour... And it was empty at 9pm on a Saturday (2nd sept) Waste of£14 for pint of carling and an archers & lemonode

Only popped in for a quick bite to eat but great staff and lovely food. Reasonably priced

Door staff are very rude for no reason they refuse entry for no apparent reason please avoid for Matthew street venue

Door staff are to young and inexperienced even on a Thursday night 🤷🏻‍♂️ no need whatsoever

Aishling was exellent very polite and well mannered had breakfast and came back later on that day still with enthusiasm and great customer service skills

Great service, we only popped in for a fee drinks

Appears to be the hot spot in Concert Square! The busiest club we found all weekend, playing solid 10/10 bangers. 🕺🏼 Imagine an Irish bar but everything’s heightened ten-fold! ☘️ Security staff were definitely more miserable compared with all other bars/clubs we visited over the weekend. 😤

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to Aoife for looking after our large group of 50 people Saturday at Mccooleys in concert square. Couldn't have gone any better ended up staying there a lot longer than we first anticipated as we enjoyed so much. Nothing was too much trouble for Aoife and she kept the drinks flowing for us all from 12pm-8pm. What a venue staff were great, brilliant atmosphere. All the boys enjoyed.

Very bad customer services, the manager was so rude, the closed and I forgot my jacket there, I was asking them to give me the jacket with my car keys in it, I was even begging them but they refused and talked to me so badly👎🏻👎🏻

I found it interesting to get to know the bars in the area and I did and when I tried this place the guy rudely told me that you can't enter if you’re alone..::: / if you travel alone then what? very absurd rules. Worst place ever …..disappointing.

A day out in Liverpool City Centre saw my twin brother Stephen and I on Concert Square ,we decided to drop into McCooley's to watch the cricket on the big screen and this was the perfect pub to enjoy ourselves. I love the look of this pub ,it's big ,it's got multiple serving bars ,big screens ,pool tables ,great decor and furnishings and lots of seating options both inside and outside looking out onto the busy and bustling Concert Square . We were here on a really hot Thursday afternoon,we ordered a pint of beer each from Carling Brewery ,served chilled ,we settled back and took in the great pub we were in. Not my normal tipple ,more a real ale and craft beer fan myself but it wasn't half bad ,in fact I really enjoyed it ,iced cold and sparkling ,it was just what we needed to cool down with on a hot afternoon. We both really enjoyed our beers in here before we moved on and as on every other visit to here we had a great time. McCooley's is easy to locate along Wood Street on Concert Square. Opening hours are; Monday to Thursday ,10am till 3am. Friday & Saturday,8am till 4am. Sunday,8am till 3am. Well worth checking out if you're in the area.

McCooley's is located on Wood Street and is one of the two McCooley's located in the city centre.There is one on Mathew street a brilliant area where there are many place's to have a drink and then theres this one on Concert Square. This one on Concert Square is an excellent place to visit as it offer's a superb range of food and drinks.The interior to this place is great with many interesting thing's relating to Ireland and excellent seating options both inside and outside.With many screens showing live sport they also host live music in here and when we visited here the Ashes was on and there was live music. We've been here lots of times over the year and it's alway's lively and it was really busy when we visited here in the evening.On our visit we had a couple of pints of Guinness'a fantastic beer which were perfectly served and really well priced.This is a great place to visit in a superb area and is well worth a visit.(This is my 2nd review of McCooley's in Concert Square). Opening Hours. Monday-Thursday-10.00-03.00. Friday-Saturday-08.00-04.00. Sunday-08.00-03.00.

Food was unreal but the service from holly was even more unreal. The girl who was training with her was also a superstar. Thanks so much for making our night so good.

Perfect place for Sunny cider fun day

Great atmosphere with a range of bars

stop letting people steal phones !!!! i know 3 people who have had their phones stolen!!! pls fix this, MCOOLEYS IS NOT WORTH A PHONE

really dodgy place!! lost 3 phones here, wouldn’t recommend

Thursday night, some live music inside, looked busy outside great atmosphere, plenty of seating

i would like to thank shannon the waitress for her lovely and accommodating service thank you so much will definitely be back! <3

It was a perfect party .. superb music by the outdoor DJ and the crowd and ambience was perfect... It's the place to party if u are an all day and all night endless party kinda person

What a nightmare! As a group of middle aged ladies, enjoying the early evening on Eurovision night, we were delighted to get a table by the bar, and near the open windows. We enjoyed the live music and we were having a great time until I was struck on the back of my head by a plastic glass. Upon investigation, it appeared that 1 'lad' from a table of 4 individuals sat behind us had thrown it. We approached the individual in question who smirked, confirmed that he had thrown it and it had been deliberated. When we demanded an apology he stated that he was getting the bouncers to throw the 10 of us out because "I am the son of the owner, and they do what I say". The bouncers did get called over and they did, rather apologetically, ask us to leave. We will never enter the establishment again, and are disgusted by the way genuine customers, just out having a few drinks and causing no problems are treated. If you continue to choose the trouble maker over the customer your reputation will go down the pan.

Probably the worst Sunday roast in the history of Sunday roasts. Avoid like the plague, the Yorkshire pudding was burnt to a crisp and the beef could re soul your shoes, the staff, whilst nice enough we’re disinterested, obviously a severe management issue
