Pattersons Bar in Liverpool

Always delivers, nice food, decent prices, great staff and good atmosphere

I have eaten here a few times at Blackstock market and I always end up picking the chicken at Pattersons and I’ve never been disappointed. The portions are always a good size and good value for money

Amazing service with lovely staff , very friendly and quick service. Beautiful place

The place is really cozy and pleasant. The staff is attentive and welcoming. We ordered two pints of beer and a Loaded Fries, the only downside was that it took longer than expected to arrive at the table. However, it did not disappoint us at all, very tasty and succulent. We will definitely be back soon.

Best fried chicken you will ever eat. No competition. Stop going to KFC and give Pattersons your time and money.

The fried chicken was soggy and so was the tenders , had high expectations for this.

Third time trying, unfortunately like last time the chicken seemed to be unseasoned? Very plain flavour, not particularly juicy which was underwhelming. Fries and hash browns well crispy and delicious. The environment and service is friendly.

Good morning to everyone..I used to work for Paterson's in Blackstock market until 5 weeks ago...I had a problem with my back and I have to stop working for 4 weeks..when I asked to go back the told me that I lost my job.. furthermore the pay me only one week for the period I couldn't work..and not the full amount of money..after 2 weeks the send me some more money but still not the full amount..I don't know what else to do.. obviously from Paterson's they only care to make money no matter what!!!

Overall it was ok, chicken in a bucket was very juicy/oily, was expecting more flavour. Sui mai chips were good ! Good atmosphere- friendly staff

Food was nice, however the sides section of the menu used to have much better options. Atmosphere needs a little work too. Don't know why I was watching replays from 2008 world cup on the tv

Great flavor on the fried chicken. We liked everything we ordered.

Great find food is exceptional and staff are great a must visit

Right then - Food is great. It seems a bit Sunday-league though providing one single napkin for a 10 wings, fries and other finger food? And don't get me started on tooth picks for chicken?! How about maybe... be a bit more generous with the napkins? Even... splurge on getting a few toothpicks in? That takes you from 3-star service to 5-stars right there.

Great food and lovely service, well recommended

I love this place. The food is amazing but there is always so much of it xxxx

Before I get onto the food, One of the best things about this place is the service and the staff, I have an severely autistic son who at times can be loud and challenging, But the team at Pattersons ALWAYS go out of their way to make sure that he always feels welcome and comfortable along with reserving his favourite table every time we ask regardless of the tie of day and how busy the place is, So a big thanks to ,Declan, Matty and Nat the chef as food is always fantastic, Myself I’m a lover of their 500gms deep fried chicken, Perfectly moist juicy chicken thighs that have been brined for at least 24 hours, with what is obviously an excellent blend of seasoning as they ABSOLUTELY BLOW ANYTHING THAT ( kfc) has ever had to offer OUT OF THE WATER, The rest of the family ADORES the dirty fries, Katsu curry chicken chopped over perfectly cooked skin on fries , and salt & pepper Sui Mia with bbq Chinese sauce mmmm The sides are amazing especially the onion rings ( BEST AROUND ANYWHERE IN LIVERPOOL) The chicken wings are juicy and tasty And as for the burgers🤤🤤🤤 DONT waste your money or time in high street chains Get yourself to pattersons for GEEAT FOOD, Brilliant service and hospitality And enjoy your CHICKEN & TUNES keep up the good work hands down a little secret gem in Liverpool

Had very high hopes. Service was good, starters were great. Really loved the mac and cheese and the chicken tenders and the k pops. However, the main reason we came here was for the fried chicken. We got a 1kg bucket and it was extremely underwhelming. Lack of seasoning, tasted like old grease, chewy and stringy chicken. We heard so much hype and good stuff about this place but we felt like we walked into the ghost of pattersons. Staff were all bubbly and happy when we got there just as it opened but as the first few orders were given out they seemed deflated and defeated. Other customers also requested takeaway and quickly left after receiving their food and it felt like the staff knew something was up. The staff doing service were great though, understanding and trying their best to deliver good service despite the overall not so great food being given out. Overall, we came for the fried chicken and the fried chicken is the reason why we will never return. Was not the experience we had learnt about in our research before the visit. Just my honest review, hope nobody takes it personal

Very nice fried chicken restaurant, like a pub! Good service and tasty chicken!

Was lovely chicken was incredible

We popped in here today, we had been before many many years ago! But it was warm in town and so everywhere was busy! So we headed here. It wasn’t so busy, there were a few people in but it is off the beaten track! We ordered 500g fried chicken, 10 chicken wings, 2 portions of hash browns, corn and coleslaw. Gosh! Too much food for the three of us! We were stuffed and the chicken was amazing! It was hot and cooked to perfection! The outside was crisp and the inside was tender and juicy. The wings were hot and the BBQ sauce was sticky! Perfect! Oh we got a gravy too! Also fabulous, could have done with a touch of black pepper! We will be returning!

Food small but great,dudes kept on coming up asking if food was OK,twice one guy and once the other just wait til the end my guys.didn't have drinks we wanted few times they didn have supplies but cool service and food was lovely too,would recommend.

I was a bit early into the bar but service was friendly and food was fantastic!!!! Really, really enjoyed it Definitely be back.

Food was delicious...atmosphere top notch and staff absolutely very tentative to everyone. Definitely be back.

Best chicken shop in Liverpool.

The fried chicken was amazing, sides and chicken wings was also good, will defo be going back again

Told us be 50min before getting served ordered cocktails took ages to come then didn’t have ingredients for 2 of our cocktails on the second round No tacos so got the chicken tenders from the starter menu and might as well chewed a slipper because I’d of got more enjoyment out of it the chicken was BAD Also the salt & pepper wings very bad Also forgot the chips on our order The place was packed but genuinely wouldn’t step foot in the place again Better chicken at KFC

Really wanted to like it, but didn't really. The onion rings were really burnt, as was the burger bun which was a shame as it was a nice burger aside from that. Will probably visit again because if they'd done it right it would have been boss, just wasn't this time.

Greta venue, been a few times. Love the chicken and the stuff our great. Will defo be coming back soon to sit outside on the terrace

Kfc is far superior Heard good things wanted to try for a while. Went there yesterday, wasn't good to be honnest. Once we were sat at our dirty table no waiters came over to offer drinks, menus or clean the table. Ended up trying to order on the QR code which wasn't working. Food arrived. Had to ask the waiter to clean the table. Jesus. Chicken tenders were good. The bisto beef gravy definitely wasn't. Just get a KFC on you way home. Very under whelming

My visit was marked by the exceptional chicken burger and fries. The burger was exquisitely crafted, featuring tender, tasty chicken with a crispy exterior, nestled within a buttery bun and a perfectly formed onion ring. The fries were perfectly crisp, enhancing the meal with just the right touch of seasoning. The inviting atmosphere and outstanding service amplified the dining experience, making it not only a meal but a delightful culinary event. Attacked that chicken burger and fries with the enthusiasm of a starved badger—absolutely demolished and deliciously satisfied!

Burgers and fries are amazing. Will definitely be back anytime we’re in Liverpool! The Chinese bbq sauce is incredible too, highly recommend it with the salt and pepper fries.

Great food, Great staff. Love the chicken here!

Food was meag!! Very nice, the new lad that served us had a laugh with us and was very friendly. 1 thing I'll point out to customers is that if you're ordering the mac and cheese (very nice) it's a starter but it's massive and we left half of it (2 of us shared too). 250g chicken is more than enough for one person.. don't think I could have hacked 500g haha! Cheers guys

Probably one of the best chicken spots I’ve eaten at and I will be back next time I’m in liverpoool the onion rings are divine and the slaw was sooo goood

I love chicken wings, and I really want to love this place as there aren't many doing proper wings in Liverpool, and I do like it as a bar, but the wings are always really disappointing. Feel like nothing tastes quite right, and I've tried a few wing flavours. The fried chicken also tasted a bit strange and was really burnt when I visited. I shouldn't have to complain when it's black, whoever in the kitchen shouldn't send it out and put the customers in an awkward position.

Waited over an hour for food staff wernt botherd food over cooked (onnion rings) chicken tasteless not good after an hour wait wont go there again

The stack attack burger is arguably one of the best chicken burgers about. BUT I don't believe its because of the chicken. The white gravy is what takes top spot in making everything tasty Most of the sides are absolutely disgusting Onion rings jesus have the cooks tasted them? And the Mac and cheese have you tried eating it? It's impossible to swallow it. Its either the wrong cheese or you put way too much in I know crazy too much cheese! Lol The chicken tenders on there own are okay nice crisp to them but not much flavour very basic. I love the atmosphere low light, cool theme and the guys an gals that work there are nice and cool. I've been a few times and probably won't stop as I enjoy the atmosphere AND the tasty gravy stack attack burger. Edit: Patterson kindly invited me back to try the food again and wasn't disappointed. The onion rings are a lot better in texture and taste. The Mac and cheese was the same. But still what did not disappoint is the burgers!👍🏻 Thanks for inviting me back. Will be returning.

Food takes a bit of time to arrive but absolutely worth the wait. Tasty food. Friendly staff. Highly recommended. Loaded fries are amazing. K pop chicken also very tasty.

Heavy scran, heavy bevvies. Bit expensive, friendly staff

Randomly Popped in last night while out on the ale with the missus. Absolute incredible double katsu chicken burger and the most amazing game changer of fries….. steak and peppercorn sauce!!! Onion rings and coleslaw thrown in cause am a pig! The missus had a smaller burger and smashed it all (a first!) The only downside, being there was no Wings available… ( In a chicken place?!!). But the reality was, I’d have had no room for them anyway!!! Woke up this morning still dreaming about Them naughty fries!! 😮‍💨🤤 Blows KFC,Nando’s and Hickory’s out the water for value and taste.

Me and my boyfriend came here for Valentine’s Day . And wow let me tell you, I’m so glad we did . We had the pattersons platter which consisted of the choice of the burgers or chicken burgers. Choice of flavoured wings and topped chips! It was amazing . If the picture doesn’t do it justice .. thank you pattersons for amazing food and your service !!

Absolutely fantastic place burger was epic and the exorcist hot sauce was 🔥

Delicious place, the chicken is great!

A nice, well laid out and comfortable bar with pleasant service.

Food was great, we really enjoyed it. Especially after having a negative experience at a similar establishment the night before. The buffalo wings were absolutely to die for! Bit cheeky that you can't get fries as a side with your burger or wings but that's how they get you. Everything was lovely though and I enjoy the range of soft drinks they offer. Staff were lovely and friendly and the guy who gave me a takeout box for my wings even gave me information on the best way to reheat them. I did the exact way the next day and they were great! Great to see staff with actual knowledge and caring about the job and customers. Can't wait to come back and get my fill again x

Paid £12 for steak and peppercorn chips on Uber eats this is what I recieved one little tiny piece of thin steak in the middle and 4 thin sliced mushrooms to make it look like steak. £12 for chips and sauce and would not issue a refund or replacement

Simply the best fried chicken I have ever eaten. Absolutely delicious. 100% will be coming back here as often as possible.

We visited in December during the Christmas chaos for the first time and were very impressed. There was a wait on food which we were told about before we were sat, and when it arrived it was worth the wait

Server was great, welcoming and chatty but sadly the chicken was overcooked and not as good as hoped for.

Group of 6, hadn't booked so thought we'd be disappointed but after half an hour having a drink up the road we came back to a reserved table. Service was excellent, food and drinks all spot on. 100% recommend!

If you're craving southern fried chicken, I don't think there's many better places in Liverpool. The food and service was 10/10. A special mention to the staff, too. The waiting staff who served us was bubbly, friendly, and went above and beyond. I can't say I've had many better customer experiences. I didn't catch the name but she was absolutely great and had time for everyone. If you're looking to shop local/independent, this is the place.

We ordered the fried chicken with the hash browns and coleslaw. I felt the chicken was either over cooked or they don’t change their oil. Disappointing.

Nice food and staff but hate eating whilst cold 🥶

Went here last weekend wasn't as good as usual, normally 10/10 menu had changed it was a bit of a let down bring back the old Pattersons menu please!!!

I really loved this place, service was spot on, the waitress we had is really polite and helpful. She asked us is everything okay, we responded yes thank you with a smile. She was the best waitress I have had in my whole life. She will be the reason why I really want to come back to that marvellous Pattersons restaurant & pub. 5 stars all round. Food, was out of the world, better than KFC chicken, better than McDonald’s chicken. I love everything about the place. I’m gonna come back next year on my own.

Food was ok, nothing exceptional. The service was also ok. The place was pretty empty when we went there and the service was still a bit slow. I think it’s something you can try, but I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s a must.

Visited here many times and never had an experience like this visit! I was bought a bottomless brunch voucher for my birthday and visited with two friends. My friend was looking forward to Dortmunder beer that was on menu but was then told they hadn’t sold it in 3 months and we questioned why it was still on the menu, no explanation really given and an alternative was provided. We ordered our food and was really looking forward to it however the food was cold and not a lot of it was eaten. We ordered our second round of drinks, the waiter brought over a cocktail and a beer, placed the cocktail down and then spilt the whole pint of beer over me, I was soaked and my food was swimming in beer which had to be replaced. The waiter apologised and grabbed me a cloth to dry off. We were told we would get a discount on our bill and when it was brought over they only took 10% off… we all agreed that wasn’t enough for the experience we had had that night, not only was the food not great, and the menu hadn’t been updated with the correct beer available but also I was soaked with beer and stunk of it all night. The manager then offered us a bigger discount which we were happy to then pay I am very disappointed with this visit and I’ve been visiting and ordering from the restaurant for many years and always enjoyed it however I won’t visiting again.

You want crunchy chicken, you go here! So tasty. Cocktails are not bad. Staff are friendly but been here a few times and always have to ask for more drinks. Could pay more attention when customers drinks are finished and ask if more are wanted. I had the salt and pepa burger, my partner has Korean BBQ burger, loaded fries, onion rings, hash browns.

Went to Pattersons on Friday night. Despite the restaurant being busy, servers were kind, welcoming and attentive with food arriving quickly understanding how busy the restaurant was. The chicken, fries and wings were fried to perfection and the cocktails were just as tasty as they were unique. Will definitely be returning soon.

Incredible experience!!! Went for cocktails initially and ended up staying for food because the vibe was vibing way too hard. Music was banging. Get the juicy cocktail it’s unbelievable! Out waitress Abby was so fun and friendly! The food came down, best nachos I’ve ever had in my entire life! I would fight a rabid ostrich just the lick a table that those nachos had been on. DO NOT MISS OUT GO TODAY.

Came across this with my girlfriend and came in quite late, but the staff were so accommodating and lovely. The ambience of the restaurant is very chill and the drinks whilst we waited for our food was class! Me and my partner both got what I think was called a juicy. We ordered chicken tenders, hashbrowns, and buffalo wings and a 500g chicken bucket between us and the food all arrived so quickly! The service was impeccable as all the staff are so friendly. My favourite was the the chicken tenders. Thank you Pattersons team! xxx

Staff were very friendly and polite, loved the geordie lad who helped us out. Food was immense, couldn’t recommend more!

The best onion rings going + the Chinese BBQ sauce is liquid gold

I would like to recommend this place to all of you who haven't been to this place yet, the food was amazing and the portions were very filling ! staff were extremely friendly and professional , the atmosphere is very quaiet and relaxing for someone who wants to enjoy some nice peace and quaiet for themselfs. I defo recommend this place.

Lovely mood, lovely food!!! 100% going back.

Amazing meal for my 18th Birthday. All staff were lovely, particularly the guy with blueish hair, waited on us all night and was amazing throughout the entire night. Food was amazing the best chicken i've ever had from a restaurant, medium paced service is quickly made up for with the amazing food. The atmosphere in the restaurant was really relaxed and it was not too busy or rowdy especially for a Saturday night, thank you for such an amazing meal and accommodating balloons being brought into the restaurant etc. Will definitely be returning again. Thank you very much :)

Disappointing. Food not that great. Chicken was tough and over-cooked, if you want sauce with your food your have to pay extra. The burger also had the smallest amount of cheese and didn't come with fries. You do get a lot of chicken bits even with the smallest order but unfortunately the food just isn't the best. The restaurant was nice though and had lots of cool stuff going on and the staff were nice also.

This place has appealed to me for a while due to the fun, hearty pop culture aesthetic of it. Needless to say I was very impressed with the amazing food, chill atmosphere and incredibly friendly staff. The issues we found however were food took a while to arrive to our table, a couple items were initially not written down in our order and we were slightly charged wrong. Don’t let these issues affect your view of this great place though, since we found all of them were quickly corrected by staff who were very apologetic. Now the main thing which we loved, the food. Everything was cooked incredibly hot, juicy, tender, along with tasting deliciously seasoned. When u ask for your chicken spicy here they will listen to you. The spicy fried chicken as mentioned and non spicy chicken are greatly filling, they will give any chicken place a run for their money. in our case this time the food easily beat any other fast food of a similar genre. Alongside this the variety in sides and sauces is very tasty and perfectly crisped and seasoned. I find it great how a place like this known for American oriented food. Will have something like salt and pepper fries, which taste better than many other establishments version of it. It’s important to mention for those conscious about the spending, all the portions are very large, fairly priced and filling. You’re going to get your moneys worth whether it’s through food, (or the soothing strawberry smoothie I got). Next time you want American fast food, or just a relaxing place to chill with friends this is the place to try.

Things started off great but when food came it was cold in places and abit bland. Felt potentually microwaved. Sure it was just a bad time to go as reviews we've heard from friends were good from some time ago. Shame really as it was a special occasion.

First time been here last minute decision cos my daughter was on her own in her flat. Food was delicious piping hot wouldn't ever leave there hungry even got a doggy bag. Highly recommend it very quiet but only a Monday night.

Came here on a quiet Monday with my parents after raving about Pattersons for months, after recently moving across the street from it. Did not disappoint and lived up to expectations! Their chicken will always be superior!! We were the only diners in the restaurant at one point and still had a wholesome and welcoming feeling and will always return! £55 for 3 people including 3 drinks (not just soft drinks too), portions were perfect, sever was polite and sweet too :)

Great place with great food and service. Kids soft drinks selection is limited but good enough. Service lads are very good and friendly.

Friendly service and the food was whopper 💯

Orders the double chicken has brown cheese bbq sauce burger. Waited 45 minutes. Chicken was so dry and chewy. Cheese not melted at all. Very bland. Gutted as was really looking forward to it.

A good holiday experience with good food and drink

Food was cold when it came out. Looks good and would have tasted good if was warm. Quite disappointed overall. The service however was good.

Really enjoyed my visit Great service, polite staff, excellent food and very good value for money. Definitely a venue to return to.

Food, service & atmosphere all amazing! Definitely a must try when visiting Liverpool! Oh and try the salt and pepper chips, unreal!

First time here, got a platter for £36 which was two burgers, topped fries, onion rings and wings. They were absolutely banging, top quality and home made. My wife also got what she described as the best nachos ever! The waitress was extremely helpful and polite. We will come back again, without a doubt!

The place is lovely and such a good spot in the area, the chicken was immense, honestly so tender and the chips weren't greasy and super crispy. They did food right! Price was reasonable and well worth what I paid for. Staff were polite and kind, I'll definelty be back for arguably the best chicken in liverpool!

Arrived here after looking at all the good reviews. The food looked delicious but was really greasy and needs more seasoning. The chicken itself was well coated and cooked to perfection, it just needs more seasoning and less grease. The onion rings were nice, but again greasy and needed more seasoning. The hash browns were good. Our waitress was really nice but overall the food sucked.

The food was incredible. Service staff were very welcoming and friendly. We were late arriving for our reservation but the team were still accommodating. There was a slight hiccup with our order but the staff immediately identified it, apologised and made amends which we really appreciated. Would definitely go again.

Food and service were great and nicely calm for the game. Particular note to the friendliness of the two girls that looked after us for a few hours on a Sunday afternoon. My partner ordered the (now hotter! ) exorcist salsa which she loved. I dipped my tongue in my drink to cool it down 😂 Will definitely be back soon

Pattersons used to be my go to burger venue, it never disappointed! I booked to go a few ago, it was extremely busy and myself and my partner were shown to our table, however no staff approached us thereafter with any menu's or to take a simple drinks order, 30 mins passed and we decided to leave. Hoping that this experience was just a once off, we returned tonight, only to be sat waiting at our table again. With the restaurant being very quiet tonight, we decided not to waste any more time and left and unfortunately won't return in the near future as a result of the last two experiences here.

Food and service are really good.

Used to be one of my favourite places to eat in Liverpool, but the menu has gone down in choice. The quality of food the last few times has been really poor, and on top of that, it is absolutely freezing in there. Sadly, it will probably be the last time I go. So, I haven't been here for a while. You can happily say they have got their act together. Food was lovely a bit of a wait, but it was worth it. Staff were amazing, so helpful and friendly. I'm so happy I can add this back onto my go-to list. Would recommend

Great staff great food grate quirky place can’t wait to go back

Great food from here if you like chicken! The gravy is to die for and great chips too. Prices are really reasonable. It's dog friendly too which is always a bonus.

STOP DON'T DO IT ......Order food from here AND WHEN I SAY I WAS SAT ON THE TOILET WHY BEING SICK IN A BUCKET WICH THE DOCTOR TOLD ME WAS FOOD POISON.....EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK

Been coming here for 7 years, the chicken has stayed incredible the whole time. Definitely a hidden gem 💎

This is by far the best fried chicken in Liverpool, nothing and nowhere else even comes close and we will never go to or recommend any other high street fried chicken fast food place ever again . The staff are amazing and make you feel really welcome and at home and nothing is to much trouble they are so lovely and friendly. The terrace on the roof is great when the weather is nice and if not the chilled out vibe downstairs is great whether your out with family, friends, as a couple or on your own you won't be disappointed. 5* all the way and I would give more stars if possible 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Amazing chicken and great beer. Great service and a lovely chill atmosphere. We stayed for a full pint after we finished our dinner.

Visited on 29th July, food was amazing, everyone on our table was stuffed and great value. Only small downside is 2 pound for barrs cans and the discretionary 10 percent tip. At least it was mentioned and offer to take off. I don't think this is a staff choice as they felt awkward mentioning it, but great service and great food

Consistently tasty food. Great pricing and chilled atmosphere. One of the must visits of Liverpool. 10/10.

Heard about this place online and went and checked it out, I wasn’t disappointed! Excellent food and service!

Visited the terrace with my daughter and dog for something to eat (and ice cream of course!) the food was amazing, flavourful. The waitress with blonde hair provided the best social interaction i have ever experienced from any member of staff when eating out. We will be back for sure!

This place absolutely brilliant! The vibe is great, you can play games while waiting it’s great , the staff are welcoming an relaxed an just overall awesome people !! The food is just what you need it’s filling maybe the portions of the fries could be bigger but the rice is gorgeous

Brilliant service..Really tasty food..definitely worth a try. I will be going back pretty soon. Well done..quality food reasonably priced.

Really great food and if you get large side with friends it works out good value as well ..we had abit of a wait when we entered after asking to wait before ordering drinks, it was abit odd he made us wait 15 mins after we asked to look at the drinks . Outside of that no complaints , friendly staff and great food .

Fried Chicken by weight... Need I say more?
