The Excelsior in Liverpool

The Excelsior is a classic old school city centre pub, too few of which are left sadly. That makes it all the more of a pleasure to visit those that remain. A great selection of beers, timeless atmosphere and super friendly staff make a winning combination.

Called in for a drink , ended up staying till late .was a buffett on , excellent various choices .

A cozy pub with good beer. When we were there, there was even a fire lit in a small fireplace. Just had something to drink, if there was something to eat, I can't say anything about it.

Busy little pub with a mixture of locals, students and tourists,it's has a good beer selection we never had anything to eat there.

Bar staff were amazing. And a really good pint

Delicious freshly bought beer Mega friendly service Great typical English pub Quaint and cozy

Super nice Pub and i will not forget the best Bartender Oli. Cheers!!

Nice pub and nice people in the pub. they represent the nice english culture.

Really good traditional pub. Great choice of drinks. Show sport on tv I often bring visitors from out of town and they all love it.

Visited Liverpool for the weekend and was staying at the Travelodge just across the road. Nipped over to The Excelsior for a pint, ended up staying for a few. This is a brilliant pub away from the hussle and bussle from the city centre. Prices are reasonable, staff are friendly, and the Guinness is good. What more can you ask for. ? This will defo my first port of call whenever I'm in Liverpool again.

Lovely pub, nice staff, good prices

Reasonable prices staff very friendly

Needs a good refurbish, as you can see in the picture the ceiling is still yellow from decades of smoke, 1 of the curtains had fallen down, the hot water tap in the toilets trickled out. A guy next to me asked the staff for a glass mat, she gave him a black tissue despite a whole stack of glass mats by the till.

Didn't eat so can't comment. Lovely old pub with super friendly staff. Great atmosphere.

Great pub great beer great staff. At 1 September 2023 it's still great 👍at November 2023 it's my favourite Liverpool pub. At July 2024 still great. Thanks staff. Beer great

Came here today... Oli was in charge of the bar today.. A top bloke, really helpful during my visit. The Excelsior is rustic town centre pub with many traditional old English pub features and bags of character.

A great traditional pub. Nice selection of beers.

I am not one for going into town and Drinking. This was a lunch with my Brother and he suggested this pub. It really was a very nice pub as far as I understand these things and their options for alcohol were quite broad and interesting

great afternoon full of toffees

Good choice of beers, friendly staff

This place was a pleasant surprise, I just decided to stumble in for a pint. Bright and large space with an expansive central bar that runs 360 degrees. Some folks playing games in the back, a group of girls having a pub day, and a few others watching fifth tier English soccer. Sunshine coming through the windows and a Landlord in hand. Hard to beat.

We were excited to go bc of the good reviwes and the burgers, but we got disappointed! The pubs website is outdated, and there are NO Burgers to order NOR 2 for 1 Cocktails and other drinks to order. The staff simply said, yeah the website is outdated?! U can only get beer there… False promises.

Great location, lively atmosphere and amazing staff. Definitely worth a visit when you're in the area.

Fantastic traditional pub. Flatscreens, fireplace, good beers and frienly staff

great pub on Dale street always a good selection of real ales, always worth a visit

Only stayed for 2 pints. Tuesday afternoon so the pub wasn't very busy. Lady behind the bar was very nice.

Great beer, great atmosphere. Watched the football with true reds. Could not have asked for better

great pub on the edge of town, boss selection of beers and all quality and we'll kept didn't have food, well attended for efc away games on the telly, just avoid it when lfc are home, she'd loads of cult/teleclappers just my opinion of course

Called in whilst waiting for my family, lovely staff nice and cosy

Very welcoming pub, nice smell of a coal fire especially on a cold day

Friendly staff and good selection of real ales.

Fantastic pub with a roaring fire surprised how big it is inside .

Ellis, the barstaff on duty, was an absolute star.

Great pub great selection of beers,super fire too

Great pub for watching football, and well worth stopping there for a pint on your way round the pubs in the Dale Street area

Did not eat, so I can't rate food. Very friendly staff and the woodburner saved us from turning into ice (cold outside).

Open fire smells, friendly bar staff and lots of footy showing screens. Proper pub

Cracking pub with a good selection of beers, friendly staff and a lovely open fire. The food also looked great.

Nice cosy friendly pub who sell Timothy Taylor Landlord. Not tried the food so can't comment on that. Well worth a visit.

Popped in for a pint with some old friends. Been here a few times, mostly on a Saturday. Thursday night was quiet, but the weather had a lot to do with that. Good pint of Guinness, as always.

Just popped in for a quick drink before closing after getting off the train . Despite being just before they closed we were greeted with an amazing welcome. Polite and friendly staff. Ellis in particular has made our first night in Liverpool so positive. He was so helpful, chatty and welcoming. Thank you

Nice friendly atmosphere good larger and nice burgers

A great pub. Fine beers. Good stuff.

Lovely laid back pub .old school .

Good pub for evertonians, lots of screens and seating for football, pies are delicious too! X

This is a traditional boozer, fantastic staff, welcoming atmosphere and one of the best pints of Guinness you can get in Liverpool. I have been a few times to watch the Everton games and no matter what you always end up chatting with everyone around you. The burgers look amazing but have not tried one as of yet.

Honestly the best pint of Guinness I've had in the UK and I travel a lot. Staff really friendly and welcoming. Great music and good vibes! Will definitely be returning!!! 100% Recommend!!

Sehr netter alter Pub mit großer Auswahl an preiswerten gezapften Bieren. Mann am Zapfhahn auch sehr nett und sympathisch

It was my birthday and I had a great time 🎉🎉

Good pub not far away from the Mersey tunnel entrance in Liverpool with Good food sky television and lot's of room to sit down for all ages to enjoy them self

Good experience and welcomed us as away fans with no bother. Live sport on too.

My first time at The Excelsior and it won't be my last fantastic bar staff a nice chilled atmosphere and the menu looked lovely, I'll definitely be trying the food next time I'm there 😄

Great Pub! Great Ale from the tab! Definitely worth a visit!

This is a nice pub but the lady behind the bar, Angie, is the star of the show. She is one busy bee. Very attentive to everyone and warm and pleasent with it. She's brilliant.

Very busy Saturday night lots more men in there than women but didn't feel intimidated

Friendly a good pint and a very nice atmosphere

A great range of good beers on offer, Recommended 🍻

Popular city centre venue. Good choice of beers and spirits. We'll worth a visit
