The Richard John Blackler in Liverpool

Handy location near the station and as with any Weatherspoons, nice and cheap! We visited on a Saturday afternoon and it was extremely busy, but managed to grab a table. Some of the card terminals weren't working when we visited which caused a bit of carnage with people having to pay for their drinks across the other side of an already packed out bar.

Very busy Wetherspoons but service Is quick.

Great staff, great pint, great food.. What more could you want 🤔

Great meeting place. Loads of chatter and great atmosphere.

Fantastic atmosphere, friendly staff and Clientele. Had 4 meals and alcoholic drinks for £48. Fish was freshly caught and battered, curries were amazing Brilliant value for money

Went for breakfast ive had better in other weatherspoons. .

Had breakfast here. Served really quickly, value for money and staff really friendly

It's just another spoons, but the characters here are just brilliant

I'm a Sri Lankan from London. I was there yesterday 05/03/2025. There was a short man wearing glasses who was taking my order, keep asking me questions and when I answer he kept talking to his colleague. And then asked me to repeat. He did that three times. I felt so bad. It was around 16.12. If you are Not White, don't go there. No staff is friendly compared to pubs in London. No one smiles the moment they see your skin colour. They just look the other way and make you feel like you don't belong there.

You can't beat a good Wetherspoons. It's a great place to meet and have drinks with friends. Great atmosphere.❤️

I visited here on Thursday 13th February 2025. The staff were very good as was the food, excellent value for the money. We throughly enjoyed it. When I was going to tap my card to pay a gentleman standing to my left with another man who had just been serviced, quickly whacked his card on and paid for our food and drinks! He said it was an act of random kindness. Had I heard for that, I had, his mother had her shopping paid for a few days before and he was repaying the kind act. We were astonished! What a gentleman and I will pass this on. Liverpool folk are just the best ❤️

Typical weather's pools I will say it's one of the only ones with toilets not upstairs

Stopped by to feed the kids while waiting for a train at Lime Street. Excellent value for money and decent sized portions. We ordered via the app and the food came quickly. The kitchen ran out of ice cream but the server was polite and explained the other options we could have instead.

Visited on a Friday afternoon around 4pm and it was very busy, though we managed to get a table. I've been spoiled by my local provincial Spoons, which sells all cask ales at £1.99/pint. This one, being in a big city, sells cask ales at around £3.75/pint - obvs still cheaper than most other places. Service at the bar was slow, but table service via the App was excellent. The food was good, and good value - the Ramen Noodles is simply superb.

Waited over 30 minutes for table service for drinks even after asking 2 people

Very busy location but very pleased with the experience

It was busy but the service was good and the food came quickly. Nice celection of beer

Couldn’t find a clean table last night had to do it our self staff couldn’t keep up . Food was quick and was ok but wish had better experience

Standard spoons. Very busy on a Saturday lunch. Food still came quickly. Drinks quick to order too.

Another good spoons.plenty of seating.good beer at a reasonable price

No cocktails or ice on a Saturday night shame

This is one of the worst spoons in Liverpool!

Cheap and cheerful good place to people watch

Great place to visit and quality service and beer

A generally cheap place to both eat and drink, though this can lead to the place being rather packed at most times of the day.

Good pub, clean, friendly staff and fast service

Good selection of ales and beer. In this pub the prices are very reasonable. A massive choice of food as well. Its a good pub to have chat. No loud music.

En una noche amargamente fría mi hermano gemelo y yo pasamos por el Richard John Blackler Pub, hemos estado aquí antes en tantas ocasiones, siempre lo pasamos bien y así lo demostró en nuestra última visita a aquí. Este es el establecimiento más antiguo Wetherspoon pub en Liverpool, el interior es magnífico, un bar de servicio de estilo isla domina la sala principal, tiene su decoración y mobiliario típico Wetherspoon, fotos de Liverpool antiguo adornando las paredes y hay un montón de opciones de asientos repartidos por todo este pub tanto en el interior y cuando el tiempo es bueno fuera mirando a las calles comerciales ocupadas y bulliciosas alrededor de este pub, es solo un pub muy bueno para relajarse. Por suerte logramos conseguir una mesa de alcoba, pedimos una pizza cada uno y como parte del trato de comida teníamos derecho a una bebida, elegimos botellas de Birra Moretti, estas se servían en excelentes condiciones siendo heladas frías y espumosas, nos refrescábamos y calentábamos mientras bebíamos nuestras cervezas. Un gran fan de esta cerveza italiana, una cerveza crujiente, estilo lager de lúpulo, cuando esta cerveza se sirve helada como en este pub es una cerveza totalmente deliciosa, mientras bebes nuestras cervezas nuestra pizza ha llegado y qué placer. La pizza era enorme, una corteza fina, una cobertura más que generosa, bellamente sazonada y servida caliente humeante, junto con nuestras deliciosas cervezas hechas para una gran experiencia gastronómica en un maravilloso pub Wetherspoon. Ambos disfrutamos mucho de nuestra pizza y cervezas aquí antes de seguir adelante y aunque nuestra visita fue solo fugaz como en cada otra visita a The Richard John Blackler Pub tuvimos un tiempo memorable. El Richard John Blackler Pub es fácil de ubicar a lo largo de Great Charlotte Street, una calle y zona repleta de pubs, bares, cafeterías y restaurantes. El horario de apertura es; Lunes a jueves, de 8 am a medianoche. Viernes y sábado, de 8 am a 1 am. Domingo, 8 am hasta medianoche. Vale la pena comprobar si estás en la zona.

It's not good practice to cough and sneeze into your hand then serve drinks without washing them. I think she's was the manager. She did this a number of times.

Hotel Review (200 Words) I recently stayed at [Hotel Name], and it exceeded my expectations in many ways. The location is fantastic, situated within walking distance of major attractions and convenient public transportation. Upon arrival, the check-in process was seamless, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and professional, making me feel at home right away. The rooms were impeccably clean, modern, and well-appointed with all the essentials like a comfortable bed, a spacious bathroom, and a smart TV. The attention to detail was evident, with thoughtful touches such as complimentary bottled water and toiletries. The Wi-Fi was reliable, which was important for both work and leisure. One of the highlights was the on-site restaurant, which served a delicious breakfast buffet with a wide variety of options, including fresh fruits, pastries, and hot dishes. The rooftop bar was another standout feature, offering stunning views of the city skyline—perfect for relaxing in the evening. While everything was excellent, the only minor downside was the limited parking space, but the staff quickly provided alternative solutions. Overall, [Hotel Name] offers an exceptional stay with great value for money. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area, whether for business or leisure. I’ll definitely be back!

Just your standard spoons pub, basic cheap food that tastes ok. Toilets can be dirty. However, they have also been clean, depending on the amount of traffic passing through at the time

Best Witherspoon's ever, Food out of this world,Staff Amazing.

Great pub. Cheap food which is pretty good for the money. Plus the cheapest beer in Liverpool. Well worth a visit.

Had Christmas lunch, which was awful, turkey salty processed, veg tasteless. I know most of Wetherspoons meals are ready made and are usually not to bad for the price often better than expected. But Christmas meal was really bad quality.

Very good Christmas dinner with generous helping of turkey, promptly served at our table (using the Weatherspoon app). We were in a bit of a hurry to catch our train from Liverpool Lime Street station, and this worked out very well as a pre-travel meal option.

It's a weatherspoons enough said.

great city centre pub great staff food and atmosphere

Had a brekkie, very nice too, with refillable coffee, brilliant prices

The gentlemans toilets urinals two off were overflowing, I spoke to the manager twice, tall thin guy, but he never oganised them to be cleared, I really don't appreciate standing in other people's piss, I was in this wetherspoons franchise from 5oc till 9.30oc and I do believe that if the environmental health viewed these toilets then I'm sure the kitchens need a visit to, I had a lovely double burger with a few chips which thank god I wasn't that hungry but it was acceptable. I would just like to point out that this franchise Richard John Blackler could raise their standards a bit more .... Thank you for the rant.

Decent sized pub. Good selection of beers. Quick and efficient service. Good atmosphere. Top spoons

Very friendly staff in the morning then returned to find new staff with attitudes and entitlement Staff being rude to customers from behind the bar while we watched in disgust. Staff were shouting across the bar whilst the manager was discussing a disagreement, customers asked to leave despite the bar staff instigating and aggravating the situation instead of deescalating. One of the bar staff thought he was still at a pride event flicking his hair with his arm bent like he had a bag on it with an enormous sense of entitlement along with his female friend who had a mouth on her that surgeon couldn’t close. (With difficulty)We visited another bar after and met the customers who were asked to leave from this establishment and they were lovely and quite upset on how they were treated by the bar staff and the manager. We will return to the Richard Blackler but hopefully these staff won’t be on duty otherwise we will chose another bar. A similar review from Catherine Macauley 4 months ago describing members of staff having toxic attitude to customers.

Nice food but can get a bit rowdy at times

Giving a 1star only because it's the only way to leave a review, quite frankly 1 star is way too much. I ordered 2 American pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. I originally though they had forgot the bacon until I lifted one of the pancakes, to find 2 miniscule slithers of bacon, seriously tiny! When I questioned this with staff I was told you only ordered a small portion! Correct I did only order a small portion of pancakes however, the bacon that came out with it was quite frankly an insult!!!! The staff didn't appear to be bothered or get my point that I was dissatisfied about portion size and duisgusted that 2 tiny pieces of bacon the size of child's plasters! I was refunded, but I think this is the final straw of me eating at JD Wetherspoons. You get what you pay for and it's never the best but you jeep giving way but not this time...shocking!

Service is second to none & servers are polite & very efficient. Found a area so 14 of us could sit together and nice food

Mi padre termina y fui a desayunar el domingo por la mañana. El personal de una chica llamada Zoe era tan grosero. Golpeó las tazas en el mostrador y apuntó hacia la izquierda (lo que significa que lo descubrí después. La máquina de bebidas estaba por allí) entonces cuando pagué con mi tarjeta ella groseramente sin siquiera mirarme murmuró sobre ello declinó. Le pregunté si se había levantado de la cama del lado equivocado. Básicamente me silbó. Le pregunté su nombre desde entonces en que era tan grosera. Entonces el gerente grosero vino y me dijo que obtuviera mi reembolso ya que no me estaban sirviendo... no escuchó lo que tenía que decir. Muy muy grosero. Creo que hay que hacer algo de reentrenamiento. He dirigido algunos pubs en mi tiempo. Sé cómo hablar a la gente

Food was ok I wanted the meal that was advertised on every table for them to say they ran out!!!

A very big pub right in the centre of Liverpool and at the smarter end of the Wetherspoons chain. Remarkable value for money for both food and a big range of drinks. Excellent service as well. Suggest that you give it a try.

Was served by a girl with tattoos on her arms who was very abrupt and charged me normal price on a Tuesday when it should have been Steak Club price didn't get her name just think she finished her shift at 5pm on 5 November 2024, because of her I won't be visiting this wetherspoons again.

Friendly Spoons in the centre of Liverpool. Reasonable food at reasonable prices. We enjoyed our visit with our grandson.

Sunday night 3rd November, great staff, polite and friendly with good food. Today, Monday 4th - Customer service from the blonde head woman / ponytail very miserable and rude; wouldn’t explain the promotional offers to me; asked second person. Much better. Overall would come back.

Nice and friendly, the night I went there

Dropped in for a quick beer before catching the train. Great atmosphere and friendly & polite staff . Would definitely visit again.

Febs serving so well and we hv a so great meal~~thank you so much

One of the best wetherspoons we've been in and really enjoyed it.. good choice of drinks and the nachos was really good.. well recommended and can't wait to go back. Lovely friendly staff and very good service 😋😊

Decent Spoons which is close to the centre and easy distance of the Hilton.

Service quick and food hot spot on

Manual fish and chips. Good prices. Relaxed atmosphere.

Long time to be served drinks at the bar . Even through not that busy. Then Decided to have food which was nice. & Cannot complain for the value Then decided to order more drinks via the app. Again another long wait .

Typical Witherspoon's which is a good thing. Excellent value as always in these days of overpriced food and drink. Food was good and the beer excellent

Didn't have food for once, atmosphere really good

Didn't have food but have a great selection of beers & spirits at very good prices

Place is booming 24/7 haha, a proper pub, full of people from all walks of life, seen people falling asleep drunk to girls dressed up like models, funny place.

Bit disappointed with beans, they tasted bland and cheap everything else was spot on what you expect from a well run city centre pub.

This was a poor breakfast effort today. The egg was scrambled instead of fried as advertised. They could have put a sign up to say something like “to eke out our supply of eggs, we will be serving half as much cold scrambled eggs as you paid for. Yours cynically, TM.”

Lovely staff and great food and good prices

We have these Wetherspoons pubs in London too, can't believe they have spread further! Bloke in charge is doing a top job

Compared to other spoons, it's a very good one . I like the atmosphere and it's always busy. Whenever I'm around baker Street, that place is a must have.

Average to Good pub. Disappointed when food arrived cold 🥶

Went in for some drinks for a friend retirement.. Great service at the bar..

Good vibe ,friendly waitress , breakfast was value for money

As a DISABLED PERSON I WAS REFUSED ACCESS TO THE DISABLED TOILET FROM THE DUTY MANAGER CALLED SOPHIE BECAUSE I DIDN'T " LOOK DISABLED

Great, ordering via app is quick and easy

Mi hermano gemelo y yo estábamos esperando que nuestro autobús nos llevara al aeropuerto John Lennon para tomar un vuelo a Portugal para una semana de vacaciones, tuvimos tiempo para matar, así que nos dejamos caer en el Richard John Blackler Pub, hemos estado aquí antes en muchas ocasiones, siempre lo pasamos bien y así lo demostró en nuestra última visita. Un gran pub Wetherspoon, el interior es magnífico, decoración típica de Wetherspoon y muebles, un llamativo bar de servicio, gran decoración y muebles y un montón de opciones de asientos repartidos por todo este pub, es solo un pub muy bueno para relajarse. Conseguimos botellas de Birra Moretti, estas finas cervezas italianas fueron servidas en excelentes condiciones siendo heladas frías y espumosas, nos relajamos y empapamos de la gran vibra en este concurrido y popular pub Wetherspoon. Esta cerveza es soberbia, es una cerveza estilo lager dorada, ligeramente malteada, una lager bien equilibrada , tan sabrosa sobre todo cuando se sirve helada fría como en este pub. Otros disfrutamos mucho de nuestras cervezas aquí antes de seguir adelante y aunque nuestra visita fue solo fugaz como en cualquier otra visita a aquí nos lo pasamos muy bien, es un pub fácil de localizar Great Charlotte Street, una calle y zona repleta de pubs, bares, cafeterías y restaurantes. El horario de apertura es; Lunes a domingo, abierto de 8 am. Vale la pena comprobar si estás en la zona.

Its a city centre Wetherspoons pub, an ok drop-in pub on your way to elsewhere 🙂

Vi var på the Richard John Blackler i Manchester den 19/9 och besökte Richard John Blackler i Liverpool den 20/9, borden var kladdiga och personalen hann inte med. Ingen log och den äldre kvinnan bakom disken i hästsvans och glasögon var otrevligt och snäste. Maten gick inte att jämföra med det vi fick kvällen innan i Manchester. Vi fick ej heller samma erbjudande utan kunde bara få vin medan i Manchester fick vi drinkar som ingick, riktigt dålig service, gå ej hit!!!! Jag beställde Scania och fick scami som var fiskpanetter såå low budget

GREAT LOCATION Pub is that close to bus stop that you can literally step out from the bar & step into the bus. As usual environment is very nice. I enjoyed having a pint of beer over there.

Llevo años aquí un domingo por la noche con 3 amigos. Durante las últimas 4 o 5 semanas cuando entramos se han quedado sin cervezas. Este domingo pedí 2 pintas de Worthington Bitter y 2 Carlsberg (después de una espera de 10 minutos, y no estaba muy ocupado) el camarero tomó dinero para bebidas, luego procedió a servir los amargos y luego dijo que el Carlsberg se había agotado. Dame 2 pintas de Carling ¡Siento que se haya agotado también! En este momento los 2 bebedores Amargos ya estaban cenando sus pintas. terminamos con 2 pintas de luz Bud que ni siquiera me gusta. Como dije, esto está sucediendo cada semana. También los baños Gents son una desgracia sin rollo de inodoro en ninguno de ellos.

Good spot. Always enjoy having a pint and on occasions food a well. I dislike being given a pint at 2345 and then being told your out by twelve. But it it a good spot.

Great place to meet and enjoy the experience

As much & as good as you'd expect. CHEAP ALE TODAY!!

i totally get that its sunday morning and you have a busy brekkie but a little "hi enjoy your food" when serving a plate would be nice instead of "here is your food go choke on it".

This used to be a great pub but now the place is a dive, plates and glasses piled up on all the tables, hardly any staff and no one seems to care. Such a shame

Food not as good now. No gluten free food what so ever costing them a loss of trade. So easy to have things like jacket potatoes with tuna & salad or cheese. All Gluten FREE PRODUCTS The Company have lost the plot.

Fantastic place. Nice staff. Great entertainment 👌

Great staff .reasonable prices. Toilets spotless . Realy enjoyed it .

Went Liverpool weatherspoons they are the same wherever you good food good service friendly staff

Lo-o-o-ong wait at the bar. There's no sort of queuing system. I love the Villa Maria blush Sauvignon though.

Big pub this one, busy on the weekends, good service and as always cant wrong with weatherspoons, cheap food and beverages. Also i think this one has more choice for food than the other restaurant have. 3 small plate menu was big and had loads of choices i haven’t seen before.

Very busy. Staff pleasant. Got served quickly Reasonable prices

Food was ok ordered a breakfast it come out with scrambled egg when fried egg was ordered and they never mentioned it before food was brought out they overall staff were great atmosphere was good only downside is people off the street begging for money while sat at the table

Pub in an excellent location, large, there is always space available. Great menu with wide choice.

We're from out of town, and walked in to have some dinner and drinks. No one greeted us to explain how everything works, that you seat yourself and order at the bar, etc. The only free table had wet stains from the previous customer. A girl came by to clear the dishes off a nearby table and wipe it down, but ignored us. After some time, we were able to get someone's attention to clean our table, too. I ordered Tandoori chicken kebabs, and the chicken was very dry and overcooked, I could barely get the chicken off the wooden skewers. My husband had a chicken sandwich and side salad. The sandwich had just lettuce and tomato, no mayonnaise or sauce of any kind, and the salad didn't appear to have dressing either, or was barely perceptible. The drinks (beer and wine) were good, and sold for a very reasonable price, which may explain why it was so crowded. So I recommend this place for drinks, but not for food.

First time in this wetherspoons been Liverpool numerous times but never been in here worth a visit will go in again next Liverpool trip 😊

Pleasant staff didn't have to wait to long for food

Nice place and the drinks are a decent price didn't review the food because we didn't have any food 👍

Vino a tomar una copa con la familia y se quedó un tiempo. Buen ambiente agradable. Me reuniría con la familia allí de nuevo.

Orded a pint of leff asked for no head the drink came and was about an inch lower down the glass I asked if I could have a full pint as the glasses are a pint to the rim the lady was non helpful telling me its what I get as no head on beer then went and asked someone and was told to fill up really bad attitude you thought I'd asked her for a kidney lol but the larger was nice it clearly say on the glass ( pint to the brim )

It's a weatherspoons. No atmosphere but drinks roughly half the price. In the current climate it's a shame more aren't charging these reasonable prices.

A good wethers , can get very busy at times but good place for a catch up with mates. Great selection of real ales.
