The Cavern Restaurant in Liverpool

Staff were really friendly and attentive, food was great. We were a table of 4 and had 2 courses each, we enjoyed everything! Nice variety on the menu, will definitely return!

Absolutely amazing food, especially pork belly!

Very cool spot. Real good pub food, great staff, nice AFFORDABLE merch ... we'll be back

Awesome Very friendly and professional staff Place I recommend

Grace (our waitress) was very nice

Great service. Lovely staff. I made a mistake with the booking as I didn't request a downstairs table as my nan is in a wheelchair, but this wasn't a problem and we got seated elsewhere. The waitress was really lovely and gave us some good info on liverpool. There was also a mistake with our order and the ticket didnt print properly, but the first round if drinks were removed from the bill, which was appreciated and the food came quickly after that. We then went to the cavern club and was waiting in the queue. One of the waiter came out to tell the bouncer so we could go through the back. Really nice and considerate. Would definitely be going back again when in Liverpool.

Grace was a fantastic waitress. Found huge portions and great quality. Atmosphere electric.

Reasonable quality food overall but expensive and the tip is already on the bill. Batter on the cod was thick and hid the little stickleback inside. Nice restaurant though.

Booked a table for 1 but silly me chose the wrong time, this was no problem for the staff and a few taps on the terminal and i was seated and ordering my meal. The staff were lovely, and helpful in my selection. I had the scouse for mains (I always like to try a local dish) its basically a beef stew with pickled cabbage, vert nice. And for desert the waitress recommended the brownie and ice cream.

Amazing food and service. Thankyou the Scouse was awesome

Eve, our waitress was delightful. Service was excellent, we had the fish and chips and they did not disappoint!

So glad we chose to have dinner here. From the soup to dessert, the wonderfully attentive and gracious Grace (she credits Marcus but we know it's her) made this a wonderful follow up to a great day in beautiful liverpool

Our entire two-week trip to the UK was centered around one very special night—my husband’s 50th birthday dinner, and we knew from three years ago exactly where we wanted to celebrate it: The Cavern Club in Liverpool. Since we had a large group joining us from all over, we chose The Cavern Club Restaurant instead of the original club—and it was the perfect choice. From the very beginning, communication was seamless. Marcos, the GM, was amazing—friendly, responsive, and so helpful, even with the 7-hour time difference between Liverpool and California. He made booking a party of 23 people feel completely manageable, sent over the menu in advance so we could pre-select dishes, and was always quick to answer my many questions. When I arrived early to set up, the staff had everything ready to go—tables arranged, room for our party favors, and a printout of all our orders. Having worked in the restaurant industry, I know how challenging big groups can be, but the Cavern Club team handled it flawlessly. We had two amazing servers and a fantastic bartender (and I’m still annoyed I didn’t get their names!), but all three were absolutely wonderful—attentive, kind, and so on top of everything. No one ever had an empty drink, and everyone in our group commented on how great the service was. And now—the food and drinks. WOW. The cocktails were well-balanced and delicious, the beer selection was spot on, and the food blew everyone away. Coming from California, we’re used to touristy spots that overcharge and underdeliver—this was the total opposite. Every dish was flavorful, beautifully prepared, and generously portioned. There were also plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, which our guests really appreciated. This dinner was so much more than a meal—it was the highlight of our trip, and honestly, it exceeded every expectation. We felt celebrated, cared for, and completely at home, all in a setting that means so much to my Beatles-loving husband. If you’re planning a special night in Liverpool—whether you’re a local or traveling across the world—The Cavern Club Restaurant is it. I can’t recommend it enough. Thank you to Marcos and the entire team for making this night one we’ll never forget. 💛

Gracie was our waitress tonight at the Cavern Club restaurant and what service we received!! A very pleasant and helpful young lady. Nothing was too much trouble. Gracie is a credit to the Cavern Club restaurant!!!

Best service we’ve had our whole trip. Staff was friendly and came to check on us multiple times. Definitely recommend!

A great vibe and very nice food at a reasonable price

We were in a group. Dinner was preorder, this tasty meal is called Scouse or Beef Stew it was great. I recommend that you try it. Can't tell you any more since we were in a package deal.

Absolutely great experience! Nice food, warm staff and excellent service with the best sights to the iconic Cavern Club.

Fish & chips were great. Less vegetarian options but their veg risotto was good. Totally recommend it!

Food is yummy, drinks are tasty and their local beer is great 👌🏻 A small thing to consider is to let customers know if it’s tap water or a bottle, as this needs to be paid. Overall I had a great experience and loved its decor. I’d recommend anyone to go but staff needs to make sure there’s transparency of “offering” things. 😉 After a meal, go and enjoy a nice gig at the club. Def worth 😉

Great food, large portions so great value for money! Staff were lovely and attentive. Would highly recommend.

Service & food exceptional. Thanks

Top. Brazilian staff who help with choosing and preparing dishes. Top draft beer!!!

Old school, lovely staff, solid food.

Thanks to Eve, who looked after us perfectly. Great time people watching after a busy day. Very enjoyable, thank you!

Lovely staff couldn't do more for u very welcoming and kind just chips was a bit under cooked everything else perfect thank u

Food was fine but overpriced, a real tourist trap. staff were nice. Toilets need tidying up although the signs for the men's toilets were hilarious.

The attention to the customer was very poor; we even had to ask for the bill twice, and when it didn't come, we went to the counter to pay. However, the food was nice

Absolutely top stuff from this place. This food was up there with some of the best I’ve had in Liverpool, for starters we had the wings and pork belly (port belly was divine), then for our mains we had a smash burger and salmon which were both delicious as well. We were looked after and treated really well from all of the staff. Highly recommended!!

Had a virgin experience voucher. Food was yum and had a few to drink 🤪

Wonderful restaurant, set in the era of my friends the Beatles!! The super cute waiter!!. the food is good!

Lovely food would recommend the stew!

We ordered a dish with pot roast, on the first experience the dish came with meat which was the main item of the dish, when we ordered the same dish for dinner the next day it came completely different, with only meat sauce and ONLY POTATOES!!!! Horrible service that did not give the slightest importance to the problem.

The food is good, the service correct. The place you go to for the history of the Beatles is located on the same street but independent of The Cavern. Good atmosphere

Lovely dinning place,right on liverpools night life hub accross from the beatles cavern bar, we turned up on busy saturday night with no reservation and even tho they were busy they fit us in, we had kind of given up on getting in anywhere as everwhere was full, we were elated after pointless trudging round not to mention grateful and it did not disappoint, the staff were lovely ,happy and helpful food was delicious, cosy welcoming atmosphere, good choice menu very fair prices good choice of cocktail drinks all making a very enjoyable night in the vibrant night life on mathew street, fab! without the four.

What is there to say Excellent food, service and atmosphere will definitely return

Easy to find on Liverpool’s iconic Mathew Street, directly opposite the legendary Cavern Club, The Cavern Restaurant could easily chuck up a few photos of the Fab Four and trade on location and hungry fans passing by, believing in Yesterday. The Cavern Club itself, a cornerstone of Liverpool’s music scene, opened its doors on January 16, 1957, before becoming synonymous with the rock and roll movement. It famously hosted The Beatles in their formative years, solidifying its place in music history. We visited the Cavern Club for a drink first, and saw a nostalgic band dressed in ties and vests played music of the historic period, as patrons wandered around looking at the walls and merchandise while having a drink and imagining what it must have been like back when it was what it was. Like many other fans probably think of doing, I figured after that we might as well head across the street to the Cavern Restaurant afterwards because it was right there. We’d had a long day of following the history of the Beatles and it seemed like a fitting end to the day. When we entered the restaurant, it was buzzing with patrons who, like us, were drawn by the magnetic pull of the Beatles lore of Liverpool. I had low expectations, thinking the restaurant would trade purely on their theme and proximity to the famous location opposite. I thought I’d be eating Ringo Rolls and Sgt Pepper’s Steaks. However, the culinary experience well and truly exceeded my expectations. The menu featured dishes that were both hearty and refined. The kitchen, helmed by a skilled and dedicated father and son team, showcased a commitment to quality and creativity. Their professionalism and passion was evident in every bite. The wait staff and bar staff were friendly and professional. The waitstaff navigated the bustling environment well. Conversations flowed easily between neighboring tables, united by a shared appreciation for The Beatles. Lots of us were visiting from all around the world, and enjoying the vibrant ambiance of the restaurant. Everyone we spoke (and by the end of many drinks we spoke to quite a few), and they all commented how impressed they were with their meals, so I’m confident to recommend it. In a locale that could easily rely on its historical significance to draw crowds, The Cavern Restaurant impressed us by delivering a dining experience that stands on its own merit. Anyone seeking to indulge in Liverpool’s rich cultural tapestry while enjoying a quality meal in a warm setting would do well to book in here.

I am a massive food snob and very picky about ordering steak. Why would I order it when I can cook it better myself??? Well tonight 😳 I didn't only have the best meal I've ever had... It was steak 🥩 the best steak I have ever had. I even asked to speak to the chef. Sadly now. I will never be able to say. I can cook it better. I know have to travel. 3 hours 30 mins. Just to have a bloody amazing steak. Well done guys. You have beaten me. I'm more than impressed. Cavern restaurant Liverpool I love you

The truth is that we went without a reservation and without knowing, but we liked it a lot. They treated us amazingly and the food was very delicious. We ordered soup and fish and chips, and it was very well fried, not heavy. The desserts were homemade. So highly recommended.

Great food, friendly staff at reasonable prices.

Called in, just to see.. made welcome, had to wait for around 10 mins then sat down for a Great meal... Thoroughly recommend it !..

Good food and good service. Very fast and friendly. I tasted the Scouse. delicious

i had the best experience at the cavern restaurant! the food was absolutely delicious and the drinks were amazing! ◡̈

We walked in and asked for a table for 3 , to which there were plenty of empty tables, The misrible looking waitress said there was no avalibility , my mum tried to ask when we might get a table and the waitress just walked away , Afterwards another 4 guests were turned away , no reason given , no reservation signs on the tables , All of the staff looked misrible wont bother wasting our time next time we visit Liverpool Slug and Lettuce made us really welcome

We went to the Cavern Club in Liverpool for my 50th birthday celebration with a party of 20, hoping for a memorable evening. We’d pre-booked our meals as requested, and even dropped off a birthday cake and some other items in advance to be set up on the table. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from start to finish. Service was incredibly slow, with a two-hour wait just to get drinks, and staff seemed unsure about who ordered what. Mistakes on the bill added to the frustration. Despite being refunded for some food that was acknowledged as below standard, it didn’t make up for the disorganisation. The cake we brought was forgotten entirely, and after multiple reminders, we finally gave up after three hours and just asked for it to be handed back so we could leave. The manager was nowhere to be seen, leaving young waitstaff to deal with everything alone, which wasn’t fair on them. If you’re planning a meal for a large group, I’d recommend looking elsewhere. The venue is iconic, but sadly, the service really let it down.

Food was lovely. Staff friendly

Lovely food, great service from Ella, awesome venue. Thoroughly enjoyable. Thank You!!

Amazing food here every meal was full of flavour, beautifully presented and so so tasty. Friendly staff make for an awesome atmosphere. Great for area for any fan of live music.

After a full day of remembering and learning more about the Beatles, we stopped in to top up on some fish and chips. On this trip to the UK we have had this meal several times and compared with the fish and chips we had already had, this was lacking. The thick batter disguised a small portion of fish. The service was good (timely, friendly and accurate) but the atmosphere was a little dull.

Attentive staff and nice Scouse!

meh. bar food. jason needs a haircut and an attitude check.

We had an excellent meal, all freshly cooked with a selection of vegetables. Excellent service and we'd recommend.

The food, service and atmosphere was excellent, just like last year. The Cavern Pub and Cavern Club is a must if you like the Beatles!!!

One of the best pub food I have tried all over the UK

Went for the set menu on a hen weekend. The service was good considering there were 15 of us. The atmosphere was great. The food was lovely. Don't know what people expect for the price. We loved it. Would recommend it, and the deco was great.

The food was really good, this area is super super cool! and I highly recommend the Sticky Toffee Puding!

Good food in a historic location!

Great customer service even when you have food allergies. Food was tasty. Portions are great.

My girlfriend and I decide to have dinner here. The burger and meat in general are some of the best we have ever tasted in all of Europe. So good that the next evening we returned and they gave us a great lesson in civility: we ordered and drank a beer, while we were waiting for the food my girlfriend felt unwell and we decided to leave. The staff were immediately helpful, advising us on the nearest hospital and didn't even charge us for the beers that had already arrived. Friendliness, availability and unprecedented kindness, amazing food.

Huge portions of food, tasty too. Friendly staff. Only disappointment was the toilets, could have been a bit cleaner.

The restaurant is lovely, the staff were very attentive and friendly. My wife had the bruschetta starter and the scouse stew which were both delicious. I was not as lucky with my choices. I had simple garlic bread and cheese starter which was really undercooked. Instead of it being crispy it was starchy as it was undercooked. My main course was the beefburger. This came with a bun that was not toasted which spoilt the burger completely. Before I left I said to the lovely waitress that I was not overly happy with the burger and before I said anything she said " your not happy with the bun being not toasted and I don't know why the chef does that". Obviously I was not the first to complain about this. Please chef, listen to your customers and toast the buns.

Nice host, good and fast service

I ate the burger of a lifetime there for £25, I recommend it

The place it’s nice, fish and pork were really good and they had a great selection of wine, which is a plus in that zone of Liverpool, was a good experience in general.

Food was nice, alittle dear though. The female servers were not friendly at all. Frowns on their faces the whole time they served us...

Decided to eat here as the menu looked good.....and we weren't disappointed. The food was excellent, and the servings were big. We had great service and thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

Tortilla chips is very bad, all bought in ingredients. You can literally taste it they are bought in guca Bruschetta is very very salty, all is overly seasoned, and they slice some Parmesan on top too, to make it extra salty. Garlic bread, not much garlic flavor, very less butter. Taste blend again Scouce is normal, not so good not so bad

Terrible service, waitress forgot to put our order through we waited 40 mins before I asked, she was clueless, then we had a voucher 15% off, she said yes that's fine then forgot to take it off the bill, memory span of a fish. Shocking experience

Can’t beat A bowl of scouse and a pint! The young lady serving us was great, helpful with places to visit after our meal too!

After a very cool visit to The Cavern Club, we went across the street for dinner. The food and service was excellent, in a fun and lively environment, adding to our Mathew Street experience and memories. Unfortunately, I left my hat behind and was pretty mad at myself as it was a souvenir cap from a great trip we had to Florida! I got in touch with the restaurant and, not only did they find and hold the cap, they also went out of their way to mail it back to me! Thank you, Marcos, for going the extra mile! And keep doing what you are doing, you run a great restaurant!

We were a group of 19 on Friday night and I couldn't praise this place more, everything was perfect, the food was amazing, all the cocktails were delicious and the service was so friendly and quick as well! Nothing was too much trouble, I know from years experience that hen parties are a pain to deal with and I'm sure we were no different but you'd never know it😂 Also everything about the booking/preorder process was so organised as well, thanks a million for a great night, I'll definitely be back some time!

Delicious food and very friendly staff who were able to give recommendations on local places to visit. The staff were able to quickly and professionally resolve an issue on the bill and we were very happy with the service

Amazing restaurant not far from where we were staying, we opted for the set menu which was excellent value especially for the great quality of food we received. Complimentary garlic bread was given to us when we sat at our table. The best chicken wings I’ve ever had, and a juicy delicious burger followed. We shared a slice of cheesecake which was delicious! Super friendly staff and an issue with the bill was resolved promptly and professionally! Just across from The Cavern Club it’s a great spot for pre drinks or a bite to eat beforehand.

Fantastic food and service. Throughly recommend 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Fantastic atmosphere as you are surrounded by all the buzz of the Cavern Club and Matthew Street in general. The food was great, I had the veggie scouse which was a real treat and the prices aren't over inflated for being in a touristy spot which is nice. It's a fun spot to have tea if you're on holiday and I'd reccomend it to a friend.

Teriyaki Chicken pasta was over-garnished which spoilt the taste and definitely not as good as Chinese noodles in Singapore.

Very pleasant festive atmosphere on a busy street. Small menu but with a nice variety. Children are pampered with an interesting choice of meals and drawing with many colored pencils. Scouse, a local dish, is tasty.

Loved the food and ambience!! Will deffo visit again.

Very friendly people and when they heard we were from Belgium they instantly began to speak french, except for the fact that we don’t speak French we really appriciate them for trying!!!

The cuisine is not necessarily perfect (but not bad either!) but, in reality, what makes the place charming is above all its location, its setting and its historical interest. Absolutely go there to soak up the atmosphere of the “Cavern” district!

Skip the Cavern Restaurant, Liverpool! While the location might be ideal for Beatles fans, the food and service left a lot to be desired. The food was a major letdown. For the price, I expected something more exciting than what seemed like basic pub fare and even with just a few tables occupied, the service was incredibly slow. We practically needed a Fab Four singalong to pass the time! To top it off, there was a service charge that felt excessive.

A surprisingly decent place with the great food and manageable prices. I Tried Liverpool native stew - delicious! I suggest to book a table a bit in advance online to avoid any wait time

The historic alley of Cavern Club is a landmark in the city of Liverpool and of England. This restaurant, right opposite to the “Cavern Club,” is a delight. They have good food with an ambience perfect for those who love progressive rock music. We tried their appetizers, the meat (pork belly) and the vegan halloumi, and they were delicious. The service was reasonably swift and the staffs were very nice. It’s a great business overall, both for its location (for the obvious reason) and service. Beatles lovers please go and have a try!

The delicious food. The service is good. We only didn't like that one of the guys took our drink order and asked only me, he brought me my order and he brought my companion what he decided, he didn't ask my companion.

We were on a set menu which is a little limited, however, the food was excellent!! Staff were friendly, attentive and efficient. Lovely evening. Do try it xx

Dined here this evening with my wife and 2 kids. We were served by the amazing Rose. The food was gorgeous (fish and chips x 2 and noodles) and drinks hit the spit. We will be back.

I was there 3 days ago and chose due to the extensive gluten free menu. I ordered the GF chicken sandwich - i ended up with food poisoning from it. I am still sick a few days later which put a wrench in my vacation. It seems the food is left out too long or not properly cleaned. I have had this happen before due to lack of proper cleaning or prep standards.

Food was very nice- although maybe a bit expensive for what it was. Service and atmosphere were great, loved the music. Decent selection of vegetarian/vegan options!

Although the food wasn't that great as burger was abit burnt and dry, service was reasonably good and was full so plenty of people come here for a bite to eat with nice bars and music close by

The food is delicious and the service is impeccable. Excellent atmosphere! Very good!!! Many Brazilians working here! Showww!!!

Extremely kind and helpful staff, especially Migle. The food could be better in my opinion, but that just depends on which food you're used to eating, overall, it's a must go.

Rose was the best! Ask her for her American accent!

We’ve been in England for a week - London, Market Bosworth and Liverpool for a soccer trip with our son’s soccer team. This is by far the best meal we’ve had all week and the service was just as good as the food. Pro tip - take the Magical Mystery Tour for 15% off your meal here. The MMT was cheaper than many of the other tours and comes with perks. Don’t miss either or of these opportunities!

Great service great food. Miya was very professional and cheerful

We had Fish and chips: great fish, so so chips. The environment is nice, and so is service. A little pricey.

I recently ate at this establishment and was blown away with the service from Mya. She went above and beyond to cater to not only my needs but the needs of my disabled son. Thank you

The best fish and chips I have ever eaten. The battery is crispy and special I think deep fried oil must be changed very regularly to keep the fish and chips golden colour..Very fast service and pleasant service. I would like to thank to the 👨‍🍳.

Amazing evening spent at the cavern club restaurant!! Food was lovely and very filling! Staff are professional, friendly, efficient and welcoming!! Lovely atmosphere and service!! :)

Ella was a complete angel - a major selling point already but the food, JESUS - unreal. Please try this! We will 100% be back! DELISH x

Most enjoyable meal and staff were attentive. Sat for a while without being rushed on
