The John Brodie in Liverpool

Horrendous food. We ordered mixed grill and rump steak even after asking how we wanted it cooking it came out over well done. Felt sorry for the guy on the till he was ok. But who ever is in the kitchen needs to hang up there frying pan and go and find a job a a crematorium. Also CCTV in the men's toilets. Pictures added was meant to be gammon steak 🥩

After visiting John Brodie this morning for a coffee with a friend, I was disappointed at the service and the coffee. We ordered a Latte and a Cappuccino both drinks tasted the same strong and with no milk which is not the coffee we ordered After returning the drinks and explaining about them being the same drinks tasting the same the barman Mick proceeded to inform us multiple time that he was not a BARISTA and the coffee came out of a machine ( well obviously the machine needs looking at ) and proceeded to inform us that the was a COSTA COFFEE over the road. He returned our money and took his advice to visit the COSTA over the road for a lovely coffee which we enjoyed. We were both very disappointed with the attitude of the staff!!!

If you want to watch horse racing in a sauna this is the place for you, when asked if the ac could turned on we were told one person complained about feeling cold ,we had a cold burger with hot chips and the staff who pet dogs definitely do not wash their hands before serving food and drink

Went to the John Brodie they had new seating which are very comfy the staff are fantastic I was served by Carl great lad knows what he’s doing great pub

Great pub, friendly staff. Food is exceptional and has a wide range of choices. Pints are cheap for allergen road too! No complaints!

Carl the bar man was very helpful with suggesting drink options as well had recommend dishes to try. Very friendly and welcoming. 10/10 100% will be back

Although the pub was not that busy, the staff were very nice and the food was nice, our problem was a group of people in the booths with a dog! They were playing and tormenting the dog thus it continually barked all through our visit! It had a loud bark and was very very annoying as we couldn’t hear each other talking! We up a left and went somewhere else to have a conversation. Thought maybe the staff could have asked them to keep the noise down!!!

Amazing food and Abby and Victoria were lovely. Just moved to the area we will definitely be coming back at the weekend..

Came in over the grand National weekend, and even though the place was busy, our food came out quick, looked great and staff made sure we were happy and enjoyed our food. Was a great atmosphere and if it’s like that for the sport then I’ll definitely be returning!

Me and my mates were looking for somewhere to watch the match and came the Brodie, it’s a boss little pub to watch the match with loads of tellys and does a great pint with loads of choice. We were looked after by Victoria and Abby who are the two best bar staff in Liverpool, nothing was too much trouble for them, can’t wait to come back!

Called in for a pint and a bite to eat was served by Abby and Victoria, first class service the burgers are the best ever especially with waffle fries, the team couldn't be any more welcoming will be back soon

Best pints and quality food on Allerton Road. Swerve everywhere else. Friendliest staff best atmosphere. Food poey too. Xxxxxxx

Abby and Vic was excellent they spoke to us respectfully so did all the other staff i dont know any other pub like this. One of a kind pub👍

The John Brody have most warm welcome friendly staff served by vic and Abby cannot fault the customer service the food is lovely I will definitely be coming again and be telling all my friends👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Staff are brilliant always really helpful and quick service too Abby went out her way to make us feel very at ease an comfortable

I tend to come here often as it is not too far from where I live. On this occasion I met my friend for a few games of pool and some food. The food was piping hot and the presentation was second to none. Staff are always welcoming and serve you a drink with a smile. I can’t fault anyone who works there and their hard work!

Lovely little pub, very spacey lots of seating and sports on tv everywhere you look. Reasonable. Prices and they have a pool table so that's a bonus. Good music too not too loud. I go here often.

Very nice venue 😀 Good value for money 👍 Nice atmosphere 😀 Friendly staff 👍 Good food 😀 dog friendly aswell. Would visit again

I am responding to the comment made by the customer called Jay147 who called in Friday night on the thread. As the customer who organised the race night and raffle. I am disgusted to see the comment about the raffle was fixed/suspect. This was all above board and the external chap who was running the night he pulled all the tickets out. 1 member of staff won a prize all the other prizes went to the people who had winning tickets they were customers. The pub did not run the charity event it was a customer and the pub kindly let me use the premises to raise money for charity. This was a one off event as the pub does not hold raffles every week so not sure where the reviewer has been buying his tickets every week. The member of staff paid for their tickets like everyone else as this was not run by the pub then no issue of buying tickets. Far from being suspect they helping raise money for a good cause. Disappointing in having to write this review but set the record straight. Thanks to Jamie and staff for letting me hosting the race night.

After waiting over 30min for lunch then told after asking its gonna be another 15min! Only got 1 fryer on we were told!Attitude of the one employee awful we had to go back to work unfed.Wont be going again

Often call in on a Friday night and buy tickets for the draw they have , decent prizes to be had however. Couldnt help but notice the staff won the big prizes . Hello no way the staff should be allowed to enter . the draw should be for customers and not the staff. Suspect to say the least.

What a good find. Nice food, speedy service. Nice atmosphere. Pub was spotless. Standards really high. Lots of TVs with racing and football on. Will be back for a visit soon. Well done manager

Young barman told us he'd be closing the pub at 9pm because he was on his own, there was only about 10 customers in the pub!!! We'd gone to watch the Poland v England match. Left after 1 pint and went next door to the Allerton Oak, where the barmaid, also on her own, was serving till 11pm, watched the match there. Also no cask ales in there for 3 weeks!! 9pm .....ridiculous!!!

We came in here on Sunday for the England game and the service was amazing, also the food tasted good. Me and my family will defiantly be back soon. Your new outside tables also looked really good

Visted here with my Partner and Mum and Dad for Champions league final. Lovely clean and safe pub, our Servers where Mark and Victori, whom were very attentive and nothing was too much for them, and they are a credit to a well organised pub business.

I had a great night in the John Brodie, the server Abbie is a true credit to the business and you should be incredibly proud to have a member of staff so attentive and friendly. My evening would have been a completely different experience without her. So thank you Abbie! You are amazing.

Consistent service visited yesterday it was a lovely atmosphere and relaxed. We had fish&chips really enjoyed it. Asked the lady for both names of staff on whilst we visited to write a review. Well done Elliot & Victoria.

I recently stopped by for a pint and substantial meal of course! I was served by someone called Elliot who was the cutest looking lad I’ve ever seen, he was kind and provided some excellent customer service, I doubt the poor lad can even count to ten, but I’ll let him off since he was so gorgeous!

Served by an Irish woman who was the absolute snottiest person I’ve ever met, I work in customer service myself and even if she was in a mood there was no excuse for that.

Visité The John Brodie con mis hijos una tarde para salir a comer para ayudar con nuestra oferta.Desde el momento en que entré en el lugar, se ejecutó de manera tan eficiente y me sentí totalmente a gusto con todas las regulaciones del coronavirus.El subdirector Gill fue de gran ayuda, al igual que todos los demás miembros del personal.La comida era deliciosa y se la recomiendo a cualquiera.

Just been to John Brodie this must be my 6th visit in 5 week the service was fantastic especially eden but all staff very good

Este pub es el lugar para estar en Allerton Road. Qué encantador personal. Jamie y Gill realmente saben cómo dirigir un pub. Obtenga lo que paga cada vez. Buen deporte y buena comida. Visitamos aquí la mayoría de los fines de semana y nos encanta el Karaoke. No estaban en este camino se compara con aquí para un excelente servicio.

Vino a almorzar no tenía ensalada, pero tenían vino, así que no fue una pérdida total. Marque en el buen servicio. Moody Margaret trabajando junto, sin embargo, podría hacer un curso de servicio al cliente. . . pub está bien, la compañía con la que va a hacer un viaje no será el pub en sí

Food v good (better than Wetherspoons) for similar price. Drinks good value and you are on Allerton road - great value

Nice little find on Allerton Road. Good food and drink, followed by good service and a fantastic atmosphere. Lots of selection behind the bar and also lots of TVs to watch the sport. We will be back to watch Liverpool beat Wolves on Sunday.

Prior to our visit on Saturday 21st December 2019 we had booked a table at this restaurant for a family Christmas meal. We arrived at the pub at 6.15 to find that no table had been reserved even though we had booked a number of weeks ago. We asked to speak to the manager at the bar. When he came out he was extremely rude and abrupt towards myself and my party. His attitude was disgraceful, he wasn’t even prepared to listen to us and was extremely quick to say that he was not prepared to move anybody or find a way to accommodate us. We are extremely disappointed with this service as we have always been regular customers at this pub.

Brilliant for sport. Has 14 TVs and a big screen. Food is good and service is the best its been for a while. 80’s and 90’s music on a Friday and Karaoke on a Saturday, i will be back.

First time here. On entering AMAZING tvs everywhere and staff nice and polite. We both Had full english. Best ever. Lovely inside now been refurbished. Will be defo visiting again!

Llamé a almorzar, muy tranquilo alrededor de la 1. 30 pm. Pedimos el almuerzo especial que era un plato principal (jamón y patatas fritas) además de una bebida. Orden tomada en el bar y bebidas traídas a la mesa. Nadie más estaba comiendo en una habitación muy grande. Después de 15 minutos y las bebidas casi terminaban y no había comida, preguntamos en el bar y nos dijeron que lo revisarían. Unos minutos más tarde, después de que no hubo respuesta de ningún miembro del personal (muchos de ellos dando vueltas), preguntamos nuevamente sobre nuestro almuerzo. Alguien desapareció en la cocina y reapareció para informarnos que, después de esperar media hora, nuestra simple orden de almuerzo "había sido olvidada". Recuperamos nuestro dinero y nos fuimos, qué lugar tan apestoso donde nadie parecía asumir la responsabilidad, y mucho menos preocuparse.

Used to be more of a pub before refurbishment. Now its absolutely buzzing. Although there are tvs showing sports, you don't notice them as the sound is turned off. Each time I go there, the place is always busy. Go for breakfast, lunch or evening meal, you won't be disappointed. The food is really good and tasty also reasonably priced.. Staff are so pleasant and and keen to please, . Place is really clean including toilets. Can't fault this place. Management appear to be on the ball and want to make sure everyone enjoys their visit. Thanks to Gill, one of the managers who always has a nice word and a lovely smile for customers. Try a visit, you won't be disappointed.

I like this place to hangout with friends but not for food. Food quality is incredibly poor! This review is basically for food. Ordered veg burger, fries and scampi. Was hungry so ate the food but food smelled off cigarette for some reasons, vege pattie was hard, scampi taste bad as well. If you want to have drinks with friends then its a nice place. But avoid it for food.

nipped in around 9.30, to find there was karaoke, was a great atmosphere and the karaoke host was great fun and no song was to much for him, the background music between sound was also superbly chosen, staff were great aswell, steven was very quick serving and as soon as our drinks were finished with the empty glasses were removed sharpish, would highly recommend the john brodie for a great fun filled Saturday night, DO NOT GO IN NEXT DOOR, THE DJ IS GOD DAM AWFULL!!!

I have been a regular for several years and looked forward to the newly refurbished pub. It has greatly improved in appearance, with friendly, efficient staff, but must agree with previous post about the new booths with a screen in your face, not ideal for sitting and having a drink or meal. The gents toilet was badly in need of a full refurbishment, but for some reason this was missed, I think they have simply replaced the cubicles.

I went to a reopening night after a refurb had been done. I went with 7 family members and 2 babys. The staff were really helpful .The food was really nice we had fish and chips lasagne steak and ale pie to name a few. The food was excellent . The drinks were great considering the amount of people there we didn't wait long. The atmosphere was really good and I wouldn't hesitate in going back or recommending it. The glitter balls kept the attention of the babys. All in all a great pub to visit.

Same pub, really. New carpets,furniture. It's good. Friendly staff. Inexpensive,but well presented,well cooked food. Downside, less seating and tables. Instead, trendy kind of booths, which are ok for groups to huddle in,but several screens showing racing and sky sports, in yer face,minus sound. Like you're in an upmarket betting shop, er, with drinks.

Always enjoy watching the match in the John Brodie with my mates. Very reasonable priced drinks and food.friendly attentive staff always make it an enjoyable experience

Visited on Easter Monday, great atmosphere, happy friendly staff, nothing too much trouble, food served quickly, hot and appetising, it’s a must if in south liverpool, excellent value for money!

Llamado para comida y unas copas durante las vacaciones de Pascua. La comida estuvo buena . No esperé demasiado tiempo. El personal era agradable. . Me encanta el hecho de que dejaron entrar a los perros. Definitivamente volveré a visitarnos y les diré a mis amigos que vengan. Estaba muy ocupado pero nos atendieron con bastante rapidez. Muy impresionado

He comido aquí muchas veces, pero esta fue la peor ocasión.

El sábado a la hora del té - vino estaba bien, pero la comida era muy pobre. La tarta de bistec y cerveza era una pasta dura, muy pocas papas fritas y guisantes parecían haber quedado del día anterior. La lasaña era una "cucharada" muy pequeña en un plato entero de lechuga seca y un pedacito de cebolla roja, apenas una ensalada bien preparada, ¡no hay señales de que haya tomate u otra ensalada! Lo mejor fue dos rebanadas de pan de ajo. Aprecio que fue un tiempo ocupado pero esto no fue lo suficientemente bueno.

¡Me encantó este lugar! Era como mi segundo hogar. Mi madre y yo solíamos venir aquí y disfrutar de deliciosas comidas hasta ahora. Nuestra visita estaba llena de decepciones. Fue un viernes, así que no me malinterpreten, lo tomamos en consideración, siempre sabemos que es difícil el viernes por la noche para complacer a todos. Pero esperamos al menos 30 minutos por una parrilla de piedra fría. Todo tenía un sabor muy fuerte, creo que estaba en el microondas y creo que el chef olvidó decirle a alguien que estaba allí. Desafortunadamente, ha perdido nuestra costumbre y las personas que trajimos aquí con nosotros. Tu reputación solía ser buena. Solía ser un pub agradable, lleno de buen servicio y un personal encantador. Pero ya no más. Ellos están tratando de convertir este lugar en un pub ruidoso y simplemente no está funcionando. Lamento decirlo, pero nunca volveremos a venir aquí, lo cual es muy triste porque nos encantó este lugar.

This is a popular pub for a drink and cheap eats. Service has always been excellent. Went at start of week and found service slow. This was because there was only one member on staff on duty and she was working so hard severing two customers at once, trying to serve food and clear up. How she manged to keep a smile on her face and do her job is beyond me.

I have never been disappointed in a Wetherspoons. Booked on Friday evening and had a table within 30 minutes. Great pub food, friendly staff and excellent value. My daughter loved the burgers and chocolate desserts!

Firstly the staff are really friendly & I can't fault them. We've been for a meal & drinks 4 times recently here & enjoyed our food but this is the first time we've been disappointed. No fish (1st choice), no Beef (2nd choice) so decided on the Turkey wrap, roast potatoes, pigs in blankets, stuffing & gravy off the festive menu. The meal arrived, Turkey wrapped in a Yorkshire pudding which was really, really dry, chips & peas, which weren't on the menu, with a small amount of gravy which was needed. Rather than write this I should've complained in the pub but nobody came over to see if our meal was ok. That was a first too. It wasn't nice at all & unlike our previous visits we left unimpressed,

We called in Thursday night for the grill and drink offer, we were served in turn and the staff were very friendly. Food came in good time was piping hot and the steak was cooked to perfection! Definitely be back!

Went for breakfast today and everything about it was excellent, it was served hot by the very lovely lady Jill, very good quality and definitely value for money. Will be definitely eating there again, soon. 😀

Have been to the John Brodie twice now and the food although it was hot it was not very exciting , a bit boring , i know pub food is not excellent but i think they could put in a little bit more effort

Came here for food and drinks with family , staff were helpful and friendly and food was great , atmosphere is family friendly and welcoming would visit again and would recommend

Fui a este pequeño pub con mi familia para una comida y un par de copas, la comida era absolutamente maravillosa y ¡sin duda merece la pena! Y el personal es muy educado y amable? (Mientras que otros pubs en los que he estado nunca me hicieron sentir bienvenido y no son tan habladores y alegres)

i arranged a night out with my friends and we decided to eat at the john brodie, the staff were so friendly and gave great customer service, food was fab to.

Viajamos desde Bootle hoy como familia para re-visitar este pequeño pub como hemos estado antes y estoy muy contenta de haberlo hecho el largo viaje merece la pena! El personal es muy atento y amable y la limpieza del restaurante es inmejorable. El pub más limpio que he conocido! La comida es absolutamente divina y que a pesar de puré. . . Absolutamente precioso……. realmente no entiendo por qué se pone tan malas! La razón por la que sólo literal no es 5 estrellas es porque los inodoros son terribles para bloquear y el agua es demasiado caliente, pero no puedo quejarme de ninguna otra manera.

He estado aquí antes, cuando ha sido muy concurrida y ruidosa, hoy parecía mucho más tranquilo.

six of us visited this pub and we all ordered mixed grills with one well done the rest medium when they arrived all were well done and the steak was awfull very tough and most of us left it, this meal comes with a fried egg even they were a disaster as 7 out of the 8 eggs were all rock hard so a bad meal had by all.

Mi esposa y yo visitamos aquí. El menú tiene una lista de platos sin gluten gratis. Sin embargo, cuando pregunté pidiendo comida patatas cocinadas sobre cómo, y me dijeron que no use una freidora independiente. Por lo tanto las cosas se contamine. Así que no es libre de gluten. No deberían entonces libre de gluten. Deberían darse cuenta cuando alguien está enfermo cómo comer sin gluten cuando tienen celiaquía. Muy triste y vergonzoso.

Vaya aquí a menudo y no puedo creer algunos de los comentarios negativos de aquí.

Just a quick stop for some food . Was steak night so a steak and a pint £9.49 . Not brilliant but what do you expect for that price

Been here a few times over the years for a few drinks and also food the odd time which isn’t bad especially for the price. Our most recent visit was March 2017 it was my birthday and I popped in with my partner for a quick drink while waiting for our takeaway to be ready at a nearby restaurant. Nice enough pub, atmosphere always seems friendly and prices aren’t bad. Staff friendly too.

Family birthday celebration, 7 in party age range 9yrs to 65 yrs, Good selection on menu all family ordered starters ,meals and extras after a long wait we were told 80% of what we wanted was off the menu they had run out ! We all reordered again we were told yet again meals we had ordered were not available, third time lucky NOT, Food was cold dry and mostly inedible, We were given a complimentary drink but we really wanted food.The problem lies with the lack of communication between the chef and bar staff as to what food is and is not available, we will not darken their doors again
