The Empire Pub** **Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)** My visit to The Empire Pub in Liverpool was nothing short of extraordinary. Nestled in the heart of the city, this pub stands out as a true gem among Liverpool’s vibrant pub scene. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for a treat. The management at The Empire is exceptional. It’s evident that they have a deep passion for what they do. The pub is impeccably maintained, with a warm, inviting atmosphere that combines traditional charm with modern comfort. Every detail, from the décor to the seating arrangements, is thoughtfully curated to enhance the guest experience. The staff at The Empire are simply outstanding. Each member of the team is friendly, professional, and goes above and beyond to ensure every patron feels welcome and valued. Their attentiveness and genuine enthusiasm create a sense of community that is rare to find. Whether you’re a regular or a first-time visitor, you’re treated like royalty. The food and drink offerings are top-tier. The menu boasts a fantastic selection of dishes, all prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. From classic pub fare to more inventive options, there’s something to satisfy every palate. The drink selection is equally impressive, featuring a wide array of beers, ales, wines, and expertly crafted cocktails that cater to all tastes. One of the highlights of my experience was the live entertainment. The Empire frequently hosts talented local musicians, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the already lively atmosphere. It’s the perfect backdrop for a memorable night out. In summary, The Empire Pub is a standout destination in Liverpool. With its excellent management, stellar staff, delicious food and drinks, and vibrant ambiance, it truly offers an unparalleled pub experience. I cannot recommend it highly enough—The Empire is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy the best that Liverpool has to offer. Love Vinny and David ---

The Empire Pub is a pub I always look forward to visiting on any trip to Liverpool City Centre I take. A traditional city centre pub,interior is superb, a solid wood serving bar dominates the main room, pubby decor and furnishings, a stage area and lots of seating options spread throughout this pub, its a great pub to unwind in. We got a cider each,these were served in excellent condition being iced cold and sparkling, we chilled out and soaked up the great vibe in this busy and popular pub while we sipped our ciders which were absolutely delicious, cut through the thirst, it was just what we needed to cool down on a humid afternoon. We really enjoyed our ciders in here before we moved on and although our visit was only fleeting as on every other visit to here we had a great time. The Empire Pub is easy to locate along Hanover Street. Opening hours are; Monday to Sunday, open from 11am. Well worth checking out if you're in the area.

We used to stop in 3 or 4 times a week at 5 o'clock after work. from 1960 to 1964. Mrs Appleton was the landlady back then and she was like a mother hen to our whole group. She would even send out to get us chicken dinners.

The Empire Pub is a pub I always enjoy visiting, been here before on many occasions, always had a good time and so it proved on our latest visit. I love the look of this pub, a solid wood serving bar dominates the main room, pubby decor and furnishings, photos of music legends adorn the walls, a stage area for the karaoke, big screens to enjoy the sport and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub, its a great pub to unwind in. We were here on a Thursday afternoon, pub was busy with a great atmosphere, we ordered beers from Fosters Brewery, these were served in excellent condition being iced cold and sparkling, we chilled out and planned out the day ahead while sipping our beers. A nice beer ,Fosters is not my normal brew, more a real ale and craft beer fan myself but this beer certainly hit the spot. We really enjoyed our beers in here before we moved on and although our visit was only fleeting as on every other visit to The Empire Pub we had a great time. The Empire Pub is easy to locate along Hanover Street. Opening hours are; Monday to Sunday, open from 11am. Well worth checking out if you're in the area.

The pub itself is great however the DJ they had on the 12th jan (karaoke) is completely rude and obnoxious (have to be polite for the review), if you want to sing make sure HE likes your choice or he will screw your request up and throw it away in front of you. We ended up walking out and didn’t even stay for a drink. He put a total downer on the night. Very rude man shouldn’t be working in that environment. This is not the first time he has been rude, we thought to give him another chance but nope just not a good DJ.

On a cold December night we were pub and bar hopping around this part of the city when we decided to drop into The Empire Pub and what a great time we had. A traditional pub ,interior is superb, a solid wood serving bar dominates the main room, pubby decor and furnishings, music related photos adorning the walls, big screens to enjoy the sport and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub both inside and when the weather is good outside looking out onto the busy and bustling Hanover Street. We ordered beers from Fosters Brewery, these were served in excellent condition being iced cold and sparkling and we just kicked back and took in the great pub we were in. My lager was really good, light and hoppy, bursting with taste and very easy to drink especially when served freezing cold as in this pub, it was just so good being in such a lovely pub enjoying a quality brew and sat with my twin brother, best beer companion in the world. We both really enjoyed our beers in here before we moved on and although our visit was only fleeting as on every other visit to here we had a great time. The Empire Pub is easy to locate along Hanover Street. Opening hours are; Monday to Sunday, open from 11am. Well worth checking out if you're in the area .

Me and my wife popped in here for a pint last weekend when it was freezing cold outside. For some reason the pub had both sets of doors wide open, so it was freezing inside. We only ended up staying for one because of this. A great traditional pub with good prices too! I was paying nearly £2 less a pint here than at a franchise around the corner

The Empire on Hanover street is one of the many pubs/bars and eaterie's which make up this brilliant area of the city centre.This is a very traditional pub that is housed in a traditional building and looks superb. The inside has an open-plan interior with a brilliant arrey of posters and pictures from the Empire theatre and of Liverpool actors and singer's from yesteryear.We were on a bit of a pub crawl around the city centre of Liverpool and as we haven't been here this year we decided to go in for a beer. The Empire had only just opened up and it wasn't that busy just a few local's having a few beers.When here we had a few glasses of Fosters brewery lagers which is a lager I don't normally drink as most of the time we drink craft or cask ale's.The lagers we had were refreshing and well priced and it was well worth visiting for a quick beer.This is a superb local pub and really easy to locate from Central train station you turn left and then walk along Renelagh street then onto Hanover street. (This is my third review of the Empire).Opening Hours. Monday-Thursday-11.00-01.00. Friday-Sunday-11.00-01.30. Public Transport. Train Station. Central train station.

My twin brother Stephen and I were in Liverpool City Centre visiting the great pubs our city is justifiably famous for, one of the first we visited was The Empire Pub. This is a lovely little city centre pub ,interior is cosy,music related photo's adorn the walls,a solid wood serving bar, pubby decor and furnishings and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub both inside and outside looking out onto the busy and bustling Hanover Street. We were here on a Thursday morning, pub had just opened around about 11am,we ordered pints of Fosters lager,these were served in excellent condition being iced cold and sparkling and we just kicked back and planned out the day ahead while sipping our beers. Fosters lager is no my usual tipple, more a real ale and craft beer fan myself but I must say I really enjoyed this lager style beer, it certainly cut through the thirst .

Nice hidden bar that's easy to find (use Google maps and look for the wheelbarrow). Drinks were REALLY good which is actually it's only fault. Not enough drinks on the menu. My passion is hidden bars and almost all have a unique menu; this place does not. Just little twist on classic cocktails.
