The Sandon in Liverpool

Liverpool Stadium. Watch and enjoy

Very lively atmosphere at Liverpool home games, corporate entertainment upstairs, buys you a bit of space. Where the club started in 1892, some people are still waiting to get served from those days…..Has deteriorated markedly, best avoided now. Read other reviews, it’s now awful.

How can you charge £6 a pint for Guinness in a plastic glass? Pub needs a good clean as it’s fairly filthy. This pub should not be linked in any way to LFC as it brings the club into disrepute.

If you can't go to the stadium on the day of Liverpool FC's game, go here!!

Great pub on match days good atmosphere nice friendly staff and a stone throw away from the greatest stadium in the world 🌎 Anfield met some people from all over the world here and still keep in touch YNWA

Fantastic service and atmosphere for every home game. YNWA

The place to be before the game at Anfield. YNWA!

Went here for Liverpool hospitality before and after the game, staff were friendly. Atmosphere was great and everyone was friendly. On going back after the game there is a large outdoor area with football on and also a band on in another room. Would Def recommend any Liverpool fan to go here. Will Def revisit when we come back.

A must visit if you are in Liverpool

very very good. Excellent handling Elegant reception Clean and tidy place

Besök efter Jürgen Klopps sista match och stämningen på innergården var med Coachella än Sandon. En helt oförglömlig kväll tillsammans med vänner och andra där vi tackade av en av de stora i Liverpool FCs historia.

Looking forward to more service . Fade

Jodie and the team were fantastic. A busy day/night, the girls didn't stop for a minute, and still every service was with a smile. This is my go to pub when I visit the city.

Ideal for all functions up stairs or down.

Klopps last game, place was hopping.

Fee drinks before the match good place to meet

I went here for my best friend's funeral, it's a hidden gem.

1st time there last Sunday for the Spurs game, will be there for Klops send off on the 19th. Travelling from Hull is well worth the trip

Went on a Liverpool FC lhospitality as only way to get a ticket!! Not worth it!! Very disappointed with it all. Plus they lost the game!!.

We have just had our Grandaughters 1st Communion in the Acorn Room at the Sandon.We had the best time the bar staff were brilliant from start to finish especially the little feller (Alan )🤣🤣Everyone was so helpful and nothing was a trouble thanks to all of you you really helped to make Betsys day very special.I would highly recommend this venue 😘😘

Always a good expierence to visit the Pub and Anfield , fantastic atmosphere

Always a nice pint and friendly service with great friends x

The only place to start when we go up to a game

Staff where very nice. Very helpful

Disgrace of a hotel. We booked a room in April 2023 ready for the Taylor Swift gig at anfield on June 15th 2024, which we are attending with our young daughter. Paid up front with no option of cancellation which wasn’t a problem as we are coming to the gig anyway. Now they have decided to cancel the room on us and leave us high and dry without any explanation. We paid more than treble what the usual room rate is anyway so it isn’t as if we got it on the cheap. They will obviously be selling the room on for a higher fee than what we paid to some other desperate fan. Disgraceful service.

Have been told that our booking has been cancelled as the hotel is now shut down as of the end of Feb

Queued for ages to be served beer in plastic glasses

Brilliant place, fantastic atmosphere, will be back!!!!

Fantastic place to be with nice Liverpool supporters

Not the best of friendly staff considering a lot in there are not from Liverpool and go to these type of places as they advertise as the place where football in the city started. Needs to be more welcoming and not have chav birds walking round shouting get ya shots ere pretty bad really. Sort it out....

Good pub for food and drink when going to Anfield for a football match but obviously gets very busy but friendly!

Perfect place to go after and before the match. They have a lot of space,inside and outside. Live music,big screen on the outside and many rooms with bardesk.

Bought Liverpool hospitality tickets that included dinner here beforehand. After reading a few bad reviews I didn’t have high expectations but was really impressed. Done similar at the Isla Gladstone which was quite a formal experience. Here was much more relaxed. The food was alright, you had to queue up and pick your choice of meat. Then help yourself to desserts. Choclate brownie was very good! You are really squished in and it could be hard getting back to your seat with your plate of food between all the other tables. Very short walk to the grounds, friendly service and good atmosphere though. Would Definitely use again if get the opportunity.

Can't fault it in any way. Will definitely come again.

Accepted my reservation month before accomodation and canceled 5 days before.

Lovely place staff really friendly and welcoming food was ok to.

Sour faced unfriendly staff. Guinness poured terribly and well overpriced. On a plus note, the screen showing the Liverpool game outside was big and decent.

Great place to go after a Liverpool game the place is usually bouncing with songs friendly staff too

Fantastic spot for a pre-match beer

After reading many reviews after booking the Sandon Hotel, I wasn't expecting much. We stayed here because of the close proximity to the stadium, and we wanted to be close for after the game. For what we needed, it was perfect, and as West Ham fans, we didn't get any trouble with having a drink downstairs. There is a lot of negativity about this place, but it really depends on what you're after and we weren't asked for deposit. But, if you're used to nice hotels with mod cons, etc, then this place isn't for you. The hotel was noisy during the night with doors opening and closing, but we had a few, so it didn't bother us as we only stayed for one night. The beds were comfortable, and the sheets seemed clean, so we didn't have any issues. There are plenty of buses into town with a 25 min bus ride. The entrance to the reception is a small red door on the side of the building, you may have to wait for it to be answered and the pubs are shut during the day which makes the place look derelict. It's not your typical hotel, but all in all, we liked the place, and we will be staying here again for future games.

Miserable and ignorant bar staff. Plastic cups on matchday when you can go up the street and have pint from a glass.

The best liverpool match day pub and a hidden gem for your special events, the rooms are gorgeous!

Don’t bother booking a party here. I had a party booked for 8 months for it to be cancelled 2 months before the event. Also, they didn’t tell me it was cancelled it was only when I called to pay the rest of my party. They also, lied and said the person who booked my party had booked in error and left. This was laughable when the same girl who booked the party emailed me my refund receipt after me chasing for 3 days. But apparently she had left a few months ago haha. I actually had a meeting with her in September for the party to be cancelled in November. I’ve seen many other reviews on Facebook of bad experiences when having parties at the Sandon. A lot of people have said the staff and management make things up, so they don’t have to refund deposits. They make enough money as it because they’re so far up Liverpool football clubs arse! They make out they do all these great things for the community and people in need yet keep deposits, lie, and let local people down. Hopefully someone decent takes it over and sorts out what was once a great pub. I’d imagine they have been offered more money hence why my party was cancelled, apparently it will be shut that day and was cancelled for staff to spend time with their family again. I have since struggled to find a venue and won’t be having a party now which has been sad for me and my family.

Went to an 18th on ftiday 24th November. Absolutely disgraceful attitude off the staff rude and just horrible. All the young ones were so polite and respectful waiting patiently to be served at the bar, of wich there were only 2bar staff and it was a very busy party. How thick can you get as its such a large bar they would have made so much more money plus I was charged 3 different prices ranging from £18 to £20 to £21 I mean really. They finally did get another member of staff on but quite frankly it was too little to late the damage was done. Would never recommend you are a disgrace and should be ashamed setting off the fire alarm to get people out 11.20 when it had been paid to serve until midnight Absolute robbers😡

Had a 18th here last week shocking service 2 bar staff serving for full capacity meaning 40 - 1hr waits food was terrible for what was paid no staff going round clearing tables had to do it all our selves hired the room out till 12am the lights where turned on at 11pm meaning the dj couldn’t finish his set and then staff turned the fire alarm off at 11:10 to get us all out now refusing to give back deposit horrendous service wouldn’t recommend to anyone for any party or occasion

Whe war two times in sandon not bad at all, the atmosphere can be elektrik

Öffnungszeiten stimmen nicht, wie hier angegeben. Montag 12:00 geschlossen.

Nice big pub with indoor and outdoor areas, lines were short but the atmosphere was underwhelming

Was there for a family event. Only had 2 staff on but they worked their socks off all day. Normally go in on a match day , always a good visit

Very Impressed with this hotel, Excellent customer service, they are very friendly, kind and helpful. Clean room, love everything on it, the bed so comfy, my family loves it as we never experienced bunk bed's style hotel And we would like to come back again next time. This hotel's place is not far away from Anfield Stadium, 8 mins to walk. Bus stop (no. 26) to city centre is in front of the hotel or you can walk for 50 mins (2 miles ), we did try both. Bus for family all day trip is £12.

the cafe is a good place. Thank you for your welcome 👌

Don't go to this place! They try to steal your money! When arrived they asked for 100 pounds deposit which they never paid back. When we called them and asked to pay it back they only tryed to phish all the debit card information from us.. Furthemore the rooms were very bad shape and there came only hot water from the tap.

Great service and prices. well done to the staff who work very hard, especially match days.

We stayed in the hotel section, didn't try the pub. Hotel next to Anfield, it's clean, efficiently run and well located for a weekend away. Parking is free unless there is a game on. Bunk beds in the room we stayed in. We are a family of five, and we found it a good sized room we were in.

J'ai pris une chambre pour une nuit . Il m'a demandé 100 livres de caution alors que sur booking. com c'était 50 livres Et ça fait 2 semaines que j attend d'être remboursé même booking. com ne nous répond pas. Alors faites attention

First time and seems a great pub

I had the misfortune of buying a LFC package through Cassidy Travel in Dublin which included a pre-match package of food in The Sandon. The place was the most run down, grim place that I have ever been, it smelled awful. I had a look around and left. How LFC & travel companies can sell match day packages for €1500 (for 2) that includes this place is quite remarkable. Best avoided.

We had the 6 person room, it did the job. Very basic but it did the job for a night out on a stag do

Crappie pub crqp ale wouldn't go in there

The room was very small but staff was friendly

Very expensive for a drink. Nothing to justify the price.

Perfect place for pints and craic before the game.

Great pub atmosphere great red based songs

Always a good place to go on match day

Great spot on match days! Friendly staff and brilliant live music.

Lovely pub , especially before a football match., music and great atmosphere

Lovely place go there on a Tuesday and Thursday with my son , lovely atmosphere and the staff are lovely

Mit Fussballtouristen vollgepacktes Lokal bei LFC Heimspielen. Das zum Ticket eingekaufte 3-Gänge Menü wird in Buffetform serviert. Geschmacklich keine Begeisterung, aber eine solide Basis für den darauffolgenden Stadionbesuch. Alles ist auf den LFC ausgerichtet inkl. Spieltagheft und Autogrammstunde mit Liverpool Legenden. Im Aussenbereich ist eine grosse Leinwand aufgebaut wo das Spiel ebenso wie im Inneren verfolgt werden kann. Geschichtlich ein wichtiger Ort, so wurde hier der LFC gegründet und die Umkleidekabinen befanden sich über Jahre im Gebäude. Heute ist es eher eine Mischung aus Disko, Pub, Feierlokalität und Hostel.

Do not pay your deposit here. Impossible to contact. Been told on two different occasions would be sorted. Been over 2 weeks since my stay absolutely ridiculous

När det är bra atmosfär är det magiskt, men tycker att det finns andra alternativ runt Anfield som minst är likvärdiga vad gäller uppladdning eller nedvarvning inför/efter en Liverpool-match.

Great for a pre-match sing song

Excellent pre and post match pint.

Great venue , Great staff worked for the lovely Phoneix Girls Doing readings with all the other Funky Souls x

It doesn’t matter to be given one folding chair only for a six bedroom. It doesn’t matter to sleep above a pub which placing heavy music in the mid night. It doesn’t matter to have no mirror and hair dryer in the room. But it really matter to be kept awaking by people slamming the corridor door over the night. 100% not suitable for family and people who need quiet place to sleep.

Excellent pre game hospitality here 👍

Belter pub before the game. Not today though. 😱

Closed early for no reason yesterday. Dissapointing

The worst hotel in the world. They asked us to pay deposit. And after 3 weeks they didn't refund ours. The place where you have to skip!!!!!!

Great atmosphere before and after LFC football match.

This hotel should never be recommended for families with children, it was extremely loud, children suffered for ages to fall asleep, shower fell on one of their heads, we had to fix it worried we won’t get deposit back. Bedding was clean that’s about the good side of that place.

Amazing stay at the hotel. Hospitality was above and beyond. the kids loved their room very football oriented, with the owner taking time to show us the heart of Liverpool’s history. Couldn’t recommend enough

Many crazy people or drunks but the match was good and staff were friendly. Atmosphere was nice. No food during matches but they allow takeaways to be eaten inside. The takeaways nearby are terrible though.

I just like to thank Alfie the evens manager at the Sandon for all the help & advice for last Saturday 6th August as it was my 50th birthday ...he has a great staff team & they went above and beyond ... Even when they were a little over run at the bar they were excellent thank you all once again

Good little pub ,right next to Anfield. Great staff great atmosphere

Atmosphere is boss…however the way this place was ran for the champs league final weren’t great…fiver for a can of strongbow, and you were locked outside during the match with only a couple of portaloos, which resulted in people urinating everywhere…maybe next time less people in

Went for the champions league final the atmosphere was great like i would expect £5 a pint 60p or so over the odds nothing major the bar staff were friendly but the door staff were awful wouldnt let you inside to use toilets after the game started and even after the game they wouldnt let my dad join us out of the door as we were leaving wont return on the attitude of door staff also screen was too low so hard to see

As always, packed out for last game of season. Have been coming here for years however new owner looks like they've made a mess of it. We were advised it was ticket only, but they let us in on the proviso that we were staying for the game and would pay then. Sure enough when fans left for game, we were herded out one gate and back in the other and had to pay £40 for 4 of us. The car park was not as busy during the game as it usually is, obviously as a result of the greed of the new owner. Staff were great though in having to deal with a really poor situation. Still love the place, but owner needs to have a rethink. Greed does not always pay!! #YNWA #JFT97

Was here for final. - No Info approaching - Not a clue as to which Q to join - Was VIP but RUDELY given ordinary wristbands to gain entry to a pretty mediocre pub - Servers RUDE beyond description - Just as HT was over we were told to move - no explanation given - Went downstairs which was packed and had a poor TV Needless to say our VIP experience was Terrible as we received NO FOOD (as promised on the ticket) and the level of rudeness was beyond comprehension. We were seated beside locals who were amused to say the least and asked were we staying here ? They were happy for us that we were not as they said it was "a filthy dirty place " In essence it felt like we were in solidarity with our fellow fans in Paris with the way we were treated by our so called 'own' NEVER EVER EVER go here for an occasion like this I will contact Skiddle , who were that ticker providers and explain what happened and I would advise ALL like minded attendees to do the same

My family and I went to watch LFC v Real Madrid in the champions league final which was a ticketed event. We had a table for the first half, then one minute before the second half kicked off a bouncer told us that they were closing the part of the bar we were in and that we had to give up our table and move next door. The staff were confrontational and rude, saying the reason for the closure was that they ‘didn’t think the game would go on this long’. After complaining to management we were given seats in an upstairs lounge - this should have been offered to everyone in the areas they closed. Very disappointing considering this place is an official hospitality partner of LFC. Will not be visiting again.

We watched the champions league final here 2022, awesome atmosphere shame about the result, will defo be booking again to watch games .

Closest place to the ground that takes cards. Has a good few rooms and has a good space outside. Probably a bit quicker to get served than some of the other pubs as well. Still slow on match day though as can be expected.

This is not a VIP experience, I would not recommend paying for hospitality when Liverpool is playing. Food is average not worth the extra money. I was very disappointed.

Great pub great match atmosphere nice selection of beer,nice staff.

Great stay in the perfect location for a home game at Anfield. The recently renovated rooms are perfect, and the bridal suite is supreme. The only negative was finding the damn front door.

Not the fanciest of places but unbeatable atmosphere on match days

Atmosphere in here on match day Is brilliant staff r lovely an friendly

Loved it. Cracking atmosphere pre and post match

Held my daughters 18th in the heritage suite. What a fantastic night was had by all. Room was dressed fab, nothing was to much trouble. Bar staff were lovely. Buffet was great

Great pub with a great atmosphere.
