If you are in Liverpool, do not eat here. My wife ordered the steak & ale pie with onion rings and I ordered the vegan chicken katsu curry. The steak & ale pie was completely inedible. The crust was so hard that my wife had to jab it repeatedly with her knife and when it finally broke, the contents were completely black and burnt to a crisp. There was no sign of any meat inside. She took it to the bar and the waitress asked if she would like a replacement. The replacement arrived after a few minutes (it must have been the right microwave setting this time) and whilst the pie crust was not as hard, there were barely three pieces of ‘steak’ inside and what was there was not at all appetising. My main was OK, but the onion rings were swimming in grease.

Worst dinner experience on the last night of our 3 week trip. We were looking for something quick and chose William Gladstone pub which was across from our hotel. We ordered out meal on QR code at the table, a cheeseburger, onion rings and fish and chips. The place was about a third full. After a half hour I asked at the bar if my order was ok and was told there were 2 big orders ahead of us and it would be 15 more minutes. 47 minutes after placing the order I inquired again and was told if we had ordered from the bar we would have been told the wait was an hour. I asked for my money back since the order hadn’t been started. I was told they don’t have cash and have no way to cancel the credit card order. 5 minutes later our order came out. The burger was overcooked and must have been sitting awhile, there were no onion rings and the peas that came with fish and chips were not cooked. I told the bartender the onion rings were ordered and not delivered. That was the last we saw of him. I would highly recommend finding any other place in Liverpool to eat. They clearly could care less about their customers. Very disappointing ending to a great 3 week trip.

Called in twice during our 5 day break for food & drinks.Great staff and choice of drinks is very good too.Menu is fab and we both had katsu chicken which was top notch.Sport on tv a bonus and the weather wad so warm we sat outside second time and watched the world go by.Very clean and rrasonable in price.Toilets downstairs only slight moan but no big deal.We will return without doubt.

I had previously visited The William Gladstone for breakfast on September 2021 and the experience was a very positive one. I returned to Liverpool with a group of friends and decided to have breakfast there again. We arrived about 10.25am and found a table for our party of 5 people. A group of people on the next table were drinking hot drinks and their breakfasts arrived just as we were about to order. On ordering 5 breakfasts with coffees we were informed that hot drinks were not available although the people on the next table had teas/coffees. When the food arrived the breakfasts were generally good (apart from the sausages which were barely cooked) and one breakfast had butter but no toast with it. The staff were not particularly friendly or welcoming either. Not a terrible experience but certainly not a great one either. We probably won't visit again!

Have paid £15 for a large G/T and a JD and Coke, when going to the bar for a last drink at 10.45pm , was informed sorry closed ! Even though there was fifteen minutes to closing and the pub was almost empty ! The reason , not enough staff, woeful service. Tables were dirty and with old spilt drinks , surly staff, lots of much better pubs nearby , avoid.

The pub is in a great location within the city, however it’s let down by fairly poor bar staff (with the exception of one who was fantastic) and poor quality over priced food. The menu is the usual standard pub food and has a reasonable selection, yet when trying to place a food order my wife was ignored despite their being nobody else at the bar! After a ten minute wait and someone being served in front of her, despite her asking to place an order, another member of staff came to the rescue and served her. Had she not, then we would have left, so hats off to the lady that served us and I believe may have been a manager.

Just a great pub not trying to be anything else. Good drinks selection, well presented pub food. Sports on TV that isn't intrusive. Good level of music to create atmosphere without being over loud. Never quiet, never so busy you can't find a seat. Used to have a band on at weekends (hope they still do). Good mix of locals and visitors. Always get a visit in when we're there. Just a well run pub not trying to be anything more, can't beat them.

Had a wonderful time he. Happened upon the place by pure chance. But was overwhelmed by the customer service from the staff. Alicia's customer service skills were exceptional. We ordred food. My wife has allergies and eating out can be somewhat of a "headache" but this young lady went out of her way. The rest of the team were also literally out of this world. Ben, josh, kat and izzy were all amazing in how they delivered a magical experience. Will be coming back, again an again. The music by the dj really had the place rocking with the most awesome atmosphere... an atmosphere found little or no where in this great city. 10/10 for this place.

After looking at menu decided to try the pub. The menu was really confusing and meal deals unclear. I ordered sausage and mash as that was virtually the only meal without chips. After a while the chef came and told me there was no mash so had to have chips anyway. The general feeling was the place is a bit grubby and the food average.

When the drinks did arrive the cappuccino is too watery and the 2 lattes which we got isn’t even milky as that’s what a latte is,I think the coffee machine needs cleaning out.

Walking around this part of town my twin brother Stephen and I decided to drop into The William Gladstone Pub and what a very pleasant time we had. A really good pub, lovely decor and furnishings, tv's and big screens to enjoy the sport and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub, its a very good pub indeed. We were here on a Thursday afternoon, we track and traced and sanitised our hands and ordered a guinness each, guinness was poured in the correct manner even allowing time for the all important settle, we just kicked back, chilled out and soaked up the great vibe in this busy and popular pub. My guinness was absolutely superb, a rich,thick, creamy and most importantly iced cold guinness bursting with taste, on a hot afternoon a totally refreshing brew. We both really enjoyed our guinness in here, only stayed for the one each before moving on and as on every other visit to The William Gladstone Pub we had a fab time.The William Gladstone Pub is easy to locate along North John Street. Opening hours are;Monday to Thursday, 10am till 11pm. Friday & Saturday, 10am till 1am. Sunday, 10am till 11pm. Well worth a visit.

We had a fairly bad experience at the William Gladstone Pub due to the kitchen staff getting the order wrong. The waitress was rude and argued back for a while before taking the plate away and eventually replacing it. We complained to the manager, not about the mistake since that can happen, but about the handling of it He did apologise but did nothing whatsoever to make up for the bad experience. Desserts were served, but the dirty plates were left on the table throughout. Very poor service.Reading reviews elsewhere on this site, and other review sites, the manager always has an excuse or blames the customer and clearly has no intention of listening to our opinions and improving his pub.The food is typical Weatherspoons - not bad but nothing more than pub grub. We never expect much from a Weatherspoons, but this didnt even reach their typically low standards

On arrival we were greeted my a man on the Door who got us to scan the the track and trace. He was very polite and it was reassuring to see they had safety in mind. We were shown to a table and given time to peruse the menu. Our order for breakfast was taken by the same gent who had seated us very efficiently . The breakfast and our drinks were delivered very quickly and I must say, was delicious. As we were leaving the man was greeting more customers but still managed to thank us for our visit and wish us well. The man was older , had a trimmed grey beard and wore glasses. We will definitely be back when next visiting Liverpool

Entró al pub, fue recibido por un amable caballero con todas las prácticas de distanciamiento social y covid en su lugar. Pedir bebidas a través del servidor, luego pedir comida a través de la aplicación. Llegó la comida de mi pareja, junto con una comida que no había pedido. Luego recibí otra comida que no había pedido (¡pedí un gammon de 10 oz, recibí el gammon pequeño del menú! - Otra pareja había pedido al mismo tiempo, y como las 4 comidas se enviaron juntas, tuvieron para ellos mezclados.) Mi compañero había terminado su comida y le preguntamos si la mía estaba en camino a él dijo que se estaba cocinando bastante abruptamente! Esperé 30 minutos para que se rectificara mi comida. Nadie vino para comprobar si mi comida estaba bien, o para ver si queríamos algo más. Nos fuimos con mi plato, etc. todavía en la mesa. Trabajo en la industria y soy plenamente consciente de lo difíciles que son las cosas en este momento, pero el servicio que recibimos fue completamente inaceptable.

We really enjoyed our burger and beers in here and the great vibe so much so that we ended up staying for another Carlsberg beer each before moving on and as on every other visit to here we had a great time.

I have given it a 1 because there isn't a 0 rating as the service was disgusting. I visited with friends and was disgusted with the treatment from staff. I had ordered my drink but when my friends tried to order a drink they were told that he couldn't serve them as he had to collect glasses. As the bar was very busy this left me astounded. I then asked to speak to the manager who was not helpful at all and said that the bar staff just did as they were told. I would have thought looking after customers was more important than collecting glasses. I will definitely not be returning to this pub.

The man I spoke to told me he was the Manager, he didn't have a name badge on, I wasn't sure, I would expect a Manager to respect their customers and not raise their voice at them. He said 'What do you want me to do about it'. I asked for a refund, he snatched the plate and then gave me my money back. I was told by a waiter that they has run out of the items I had ordered.

We found this pub while exploring the Beatles and Cavern area in nearby Mathew Street and we were pleasantly surprised at the efficiency of the staff and the cleanliness of the pub. We stopped primarily for a late breakfast which was served quickly and without fuss – tasty good cooked food. Cheerful staff and a bit of a laugh with the bar staff kept everyone grinning. Don’t know what it would be like later in the day but certainly ideal for a quick midday bite.

My 81 year old father and i went for a meal there about a month ago and he had the beef and double gloucester pie and i had the beef yorkshire wrap. Dads said his was ok. My beef tasted like shoe leather not that i have tasted shoe leather but if i did this would be it. There was hardly any veg or chips on my plate. Also 2 much yorkshire wrap. They did bring more veg when they realised the portion size on my plate. But not chips. Anyhow yesterday because of the rain we went in again. My 81 year old dad on a walking stick. Had to go up 3 stairs to seat were people wernt watching you eat and sitting on top of you down below when we sat down the table was exremely sticky was then wiped again. I ordered the meal fish burger and chips and my dad ordered the steak and chips medium rare. The scarce amount of chips on the plate were absolutely freezing they changed them for hot ones. My dads steak came out ectremely bloody The manager came over after myself waiting and complaining at the bar he then reheated my dads steak it came back my dad proceeded to cut it the knife wasnt sharp enough so i went up the bar again to ask for another knife after waiting again . Dads steak by this time was cold it was also full of rubbery fat. My burger was freezing i then complained again and waited again at the bar for manager about how many times the meal was disrupted due to the complaints and asked him if he would try to put the knife through my dads steak and if he could replenish my burger and provide my dad with a better knife. Will the manager argued back that it was a perfectly good steak knife and flatly refused to do anything about the meal being cold due to the complaints made about the meal in general. It was horrendous and i would never recommend it to a dog never mind a human being.

It looked like a spoons, felt like a spoons so i'm going to say it probably was a spoons. Happy with my drinks, happy with my food but a place like this can never be 5*.

I asked for a cup of tea and was told to wait while people who wanted real drinks were served. It was my first time on a solo visit as my husband had just died and was made to feel like my custom did not matter.

Visited here for lunch not for me. Food was poor and portions very small. There are other nicer eating places in the vicinity.

Since moving to Liverpool myself and work colleagues have always visited the Gladstone and made it a starting and normally finishing point to a night out......staff have always been welcoming,friendly and are always keeping us upto date with new offers and promotions.....Kevin behind the bar is always happy within his role and comes over to say hello when we come in. Highly recommend grabbing a burger before starting the night off........Good food, Good Atmosphere, Great prices.....Fantastic Staff!!!

Oh my gosh, there are no words to describe the amazing welcome we received here during a recent visit to the uk. Knowledgeable, warm, welcoming staff who took the time to chat and make our experience extra pleasant (also explained some Scouse phrases!) We dropped by for a drink and stayed to eat because we felt so comfortable. The staff make this establishment what it is. Food was great too!!!

The pub is located at the entrance to Matthew street and offers several beers on tap and all other liquors. We tried the food there, the fish and chips was good but the pie was not.

We all agreed that this was bland tasteless food. We would not recommend it decor is tatty and needs serious refurbish. Sunday roast was not good. One of the three of us had hunters pie he was not fussed and left half of it too. Gravy was thick and tasteless.

We have been to the William Gladstone a few times in the past and enjoyed our experience,and as we were in Liverpool again we thought we would call again.On this occasion I ordered drinks at the bar but had to wait about seven minutes to be served as there was only one staff serving,two other staff came past the barman but were not interested in serving me.Want rush back again.

Someone told us to go to this pub while we were in Liverpool for a weekend. So glad they did. Food brilliant and not expensive beer too was a great price so all weekend we had lunch and our tea here. Staff was also great, easy to chat with and always had a smile on there faces which made it a relaxed and happy pub to be in. Love this pub

I was quite surprised to read the negative comments, possibly there are staff issues. However I found the drinks prices low in comparison with other city centre pubs we used. This pub is part of a chain which I am not familiar with.

Busy but a nice relaxed atmosphere, plenty of televisions for sport, goods very typical pub grub nothing amazing but can’t complain. Good drinks selection, great service! Mark in particular should get a lot of credit, involved in his guests without being pushy and just made us feel really comfortable and happy Thankyou!

This is a drinking pub primarily...and thus has that feel about it. Super sticky floors and expensive drinks... Is good for groups of drinkers on a pub crawl but I wouldn't come here again myself.

Firstly I’d like to say that the reviewer who posted last with an awful review, I was sat on number 2 near your table with my partner and baby and heard your witch hunt! You were rude to the bar man by clicking your fingers at him etc. We ordered our meals about the same time, I had steak the same as you, my partner SFC and both were delicious we left nothing on our plates. The pub wasn’t cold I’d even taken my coat off and the bar man was in a black short sleeved shirt! We eat at the Pear Tree often and everything is as it should be.

Intenté entrar a Bistro pero estaba completamente lleno, así que subí al bar, muy agradable, cómodo pero bastante caro. Los bocadillos de bar son muy decepcionantes, solo un tubo de patatas fritas donde siento que podrían ofrecer una mejor variedad y comida de más sustancia que las patatas fritas.

The staff were rude, the drinks are expensive, the toilets had no loo role and there was White powder on the side, the vent above was full of dust, we were put in the so called VIP section a tiny room the back of the seating area fell off and the music was way too loud, would never return there are many great bars in Liverpool this is not one
