Yates's in Liverpool

Food is very nice here you can order and pay with my pub app saves queuing at the bar

Updated: have been in two times recently and want to update the review. Tap drinks are still awful, if you must order, make it a bottled beer. Morning clientele are awful. There is always an annoying lad going around annoying people, shouting loudly at the fruit machine, trying to annoy customers, and getting sick in the disabled jacks in the main bar with the door open (literally feet from customers trying to eat the not terrible/not great breakfast) .... staff do nothing to stop him, he is a pest. I assume they aren't paid enough to deal with him, or owns the place. Previous review: It's the Yates experience. Staff are very nice food is cheap and you get exactly what you pay for. Cocktails are fun but the beer, no matter which tap, is always poor.

Went for a drink with my daughter after shopping. Very good atmosphere and service

Pub was OK with good choice of drinks.. tables wasn't wiped and very sticky but did look like there wasn't enough staff..

Came in for lunch on way back from the museum. Nice interior and caters well for kids with colouring for them to do. Easy to order from the table and food selection is good and came out quickly. Only paid about £30 for a lunch for three people which is very reasonable. Food was good too.

Went for two for £20 I had fish and chips which was overcooked and dry with dry chips, my son had a cheese and bacon burger, we asked for no sauce on the burger and it came with sauce which he scraped off. The burger was dry and overcooked, the buns were black and burnt on the inside. We opted for waffles as an extra which were Rock hard and overdone. All this and we waited for 45 minutes, there was hardly anyone in there...not impressed, if I'd had time Iwe would have left the food and asked for a refund.

Believe it's ok. Was only going past so can't really comment looked very busy

Ok not to bad need to work on service not staffs fault , just not enough staff.

A nice atmosphere wine ok disappointed with meal been left out and arrived cold shame mot I think 👨‍🍳 fault but delivery to table

Food’s excellent, really good and surprisingly inexpensive. Decent selection of drinks, that Brixton’s lovely! Really pleased with the service too, nice positive vibes from all the staff

Great service from Clare. Great atmosphere, food.

Came with climbing society let us book a function room, josh was very welcoming and helpful

Visited today Served by Ste also had food bought by Clare good service from all and the food from the kitchen team was great. Nice atmosphere & sports showing. All in all great venue for reasonably priced food and drink

Great pub , good friendly service

Great place, £5 pints. Lovely beer garden. Staff is good and sees you at the bar - not a long wait time.

Booked a table for F1 Qualifying. I was an hour late and my friends didn't make it. The barman turned the sound up for me. I spent the deposit on food. Came back later in the evening to watch the boxing. The same amazing barman was still going. They turned the sound on for us before they left. Good place to watch sport.

Popped in today for lunch today with my mum after a bit of shopping to get out of the rain and wow what a deal they have on food 2 starters and 2 mains and 2 drinks for £20 great value and our waitress Clare was very chatty and looked after us. Next time we’re in Liverpool we will be back

Superb service from young Clare.i especially enjoyed the mushrooms that the new chef Ed is apparently cooking differently 😁

Lovely place. Good food and surroundings. Went to toilet before leaving to find around 15 kids (male and female) congregated in the ladies toilets and most of them didn't look old enough. They were vaping and had blocked every single toilet with toilet roll. Walked out in disgust after spending £40 on food and drink and not being able to use a toilet. Thr bar staff simply said "nothing I can do about it" with a shrug. As a visitor to this city, I won't be returning to Yates.

Had a lovely time in Yates, was there for a family meal and the service from Amy and James was incredible. The food was delicious even asked for the chefs name so hats off to Owen for some tasty food. Would 100% come again.

Came in to play pool and get some small plates , was served by Amy service made me feel welcome and we enjoyed some food while playing .

Had lovely evening meal lasagna and burger. Great deal burger comes with free drink. Quick service and food hot.

Came in for breakfast after a suit fitting for a wedding so quite a large group. Ordered food on the app to be told quite rudely at the bar after getting a drink they don't bring anything upstairs. Quite embarrassing situation for everyone as we had to split up the large group we had onto three tables downstairs then change all the orders to new tables. Breakfast turned up dry as if it had been sat under the halogen lamp for a long time.

Visit yates with a group to watch the football and have a few drinks, loved the place! Ended up having some food too and made the most out off the 2-4-1 cocktails! Staff very helpful and friendly definitely will be back again!

The food is good but the service is horrible, the tables were dirty and we asked the waiter to clean them and he refused .

Lovely menu coud have roast dinner on lol

Just had my tea here and it's was really bad the food was edible but wouldn't eat here again I had to leave in a hurry as I was feeling unwell luckily made it home before I was physically sick don't bother eating here eat elsewhere

Meal was poor they gave you your food then made us wait 10mins before telling us we had to get our own cutlery and condiments and was dead as a dodo and played nfl on all the screens

Amazing service from Clare! Will definitely be back !

Very expensive.. food wasn't great at all

Came in for food and afew cocktails was served by Amy . Food was really tasty and filling and lovey cocktails on a 2 for 1 deal . Service was very warming Will definetely be back !

First visit to Yates and Liverpool. Clare was really helpful and the drinks and food were served quickly and efficiently. Really good first visit, will definitely return. Always good to have friendly staff on first encounter. Well done Clare

We were served by Clare who was friendly, professional and just wonderful. Really nice food for a really reasonable price

Clare was a wonderful host. Nothing was a problem.

Good value drinks and food, disgusting toilets upstairs,urine all over the floor.not nice.kind of puts you off the place.

Great service, amazing food and cocktails, friendly staff!!

All round atmosphere is lovely, nice & friendly staff, but me and my boyfriend decided to enjoy our pints outside in the beer garden, next minute there’s a rat crawling underneath our feet, absolutely horrified! Shame as we were thinking about coning back for food the next day, think we’ll give it a miss. The pub itself is 4/5 stars but the rat situation completely changed our view on this place.

Came in today for a quick bite to eat and gotta say the food was lovely and amazing service by Chloe! She is a lovely polite young lady who gave amazing customer service, nothing was too much trouble for her, thank you Chloe will definitely return ❤️

Toilets are absolutely minging. All blocked, stinks.

Dropped in on way home liked this place 😁

great food and thanks to Claire for looking after us on our honeymoon visit

Visiting from out of the area and stumbled across Yates. Regardless of which part of the country I’ve found myself in, I’ve always found a decent meal in a Yates. I had a lovely full English, hot, tasty and great value for similar in the area. Great service by Wade on the bar and delicious food created by chef Claire. We will definitely be visiting again.

Food was great and very reasonably priced, staff were excellent and the place has a cool vibe to it.

Was in Yates Queen Square yesterday and served by Chloe. Had excellent service by her. Her knowledge of drinks was very good. Would definitely recommend a visit.

My wife and I have made several visits to this bar,and find the staff are welcoming and friendly,we have been served by a young lady called Chloe on quiet a few occasions,she was so helpful and has a fantastic knowledge of the drinks and food available,we only wanted a few drinks and nothing was too much trouble for her,we will visit again soon and hopefully be served once again by the wonderful Chloe.

Great place. Served by Chloe who was lovely and very helpful!

Had a lovely pint while all the chaos was going on outside. Great service by Chloe despite everything going on and the wrestling upstairs sounded electric.

Didn't think the food would be great but infact it was really nice and well prepared service lacked speed but more than made up 4 that with the food

The place and the staff where very nice, even most of the food but the veggie burger how ever was like a hockey puck. It was rock hard.

Food was terrible not what we ordered and they tried to talk there way out of it, definitely won’t eat there again

First time visiting Yates bar for breakfast . Had a full English was great service could've been a little bit quicker though. .

A quiet morning in Yates but the staff were welcoming and very helpful. We'll be back

Average experience here. Came on a Thursday night which was relatively quiet. Wait times for food were tolerable at best and the burger really wasn't up to much. Had to go up to the bar after waiting for 30 mins once we finished our food and ask for our table to be cleared and that we were ready for dessert. Dessert was about on par. Suppose it's a case of "you get what you pay for". Did this on the 2 for £20 deal but wouldn't pay more for it. Needs improvement.

Didn't eat, but we drank, oh did we drink

Went for a lunch. Had the new menu. Jacket with chilli and nachos. Very nice. Recommended. Service was nice. Staff were friendly.

This was a fantastic pub for drinking, located in a top notch location right in Liverpool city centre! The sports bar theme has fancy lights and the usual decorations, counter is well-presented too. I really appreciated the leather seating and grabbed a Coors, using a clean round table!

Good staff nice and clean and a good pint shout out to Clare she was great had a few beers in here before we went to a gig ………..

Great place in the centre of town served by Clare who was great 👍

The Diet Coke was flat a bit like the atmosphere. But Claire saved the day and single handley made the Liverpool Yates bearable.

Great place, made to feel welcome by Clare and the staff. Good pint and a smiley face, what more do you want.

Clare was love and attentive. Food order was taken and delivered to table in quick time. Food was hot and enjoyable. If ever back in Liverpool worth a visit

I don't drink but always pop in for a lime and soda while waiting for the bus. Everyones always dead nice and polite

Nothing bad to say about the staff (they were nice and helpful) - but they’ve clearly been instructed by the greedy owner to use corporate charging banks if you ask to charge your mobile phone. £6 it cost does it have its own power station? 🤡 corporate greed over customer service. Didn’t have breakfast here and was another sting in the wallet after breaking down near Liverpool.

Had a lovely breakfast and was served by a lovely gentleman called Wade. Very good value for money.

Great Breakfast well presented drink price's reasonable priced

This place had my head messed up. Looks like a normal pub good fun music cocktails however, The food here is next level..like a 5 star Michelin but in pub grub. We had 3 plates of wings. Unreal. I had the mac bbq burger. Honestly best burger I've even had. Staff are great. And the pints on draft are fresh unlike a few places around the ares. Highly recommended.

Handy if you want a bus .station just at entrance never seen anyone eating here ?

My son and his friends sat upstairs ordered food to be told can they sit down stairs but they preffered upstairs with less crowd as my son suffers from PTSD anyway they was told when food is ready they will have to come downstairs to get it them selves and to bring down there plates once finished they never brought there plates back down and shouldnt be expected i would of left them myself what happened to friendly customer service your paid to do a job dont expect customers to do your job for you

Super friendly service, great atmosphere. Will be returning again

The chicken and bacon club was lovely, Clare who served us was very helpful and had a lovely manner. Well done Clare you made us feel very welcome .

Drinks only, good atmosphere and music

Menus were covered in food and drink, they hadn't been wiped in weeks.. we ordered online.. drinks and food came out quick but the service was just putting the drinks and food on the table.. no check back.. the mac and cheese had a burnt lump in it.. chips were warm, steak was OK.. burger was dry, onion rings were not cooked to order.. then to top it off the local tea leaf came in with a carrier bag of "freshly stolen perfume".. his words not mine..

very friendly staff, pub clean, nice food 80s background music was brilliant to

Visited because trains were on strike. We had a weekend break celebrating my niece's 40th birthday. Excellent choice of ales. Bright and airy. Loved the upstairs. Great sports venue. Prices are very reasonable.

The food is delicious and the beer is also delicious. There are several TV monitors, so it's great to watch soccer. But you can drink alcohol until business closes, but what about food after 8? It doesn't seem to work. I ordered food at 7:40, but I tried to order additional chicken wings at 8:40, but they said the food was finished. The food is delicious and the beer is delicious. There are many TV monitors, so it's great to watch soccer. But alcohol is available until the end of business, but I don't think the food is after 8 o'clock. I ordered food at 7:40, but I was going to order additional chicken wings at 8:40, but the food was over.

Mixed grill x2 both was really bad. The meats were all dried out and hard. Food not eaten - explained to manger James Nichols about the food and he was not a sorry and said to leave a review. What kind of manger training is that!! Next table were Vaping through out and the manager allowed it, he never said a word. Absolutely discussing food and poor service for managers response to this problem. Will be notifying head office. Waste money! Thank you ‘not’ to James Nichols the so called manager that does not care the food was poor and dried out/hard. Do not eat in this Yates in Liverpool

Atmosphere is fantastic. Best guinness in liverpool, from a fellow Irish man.

Not eaten, but the food seen looks good. Great atmosphere

Trains was cancelled so went in. Yates no problem getting a seat and a good meal so pleased we did good food and service

Quick drink in here . Looked a lovely place great vibe . Would have ordered food but was told it was 1 hour wait .

Decent place with good atmosphere. Very Nice staff

We were totally disappointed after we got here: zero efforts in customer service (no please / thank you or even a simple hello), food was ok but some of the burgers have been served cold (melted cheese came as cold slices). With all of the other positive reviews in place we expected more. Probably besser to quickly neck a drink and go to a nicer place.

A quite allright place. Nothing fancy when it comes to food, good selection of beers. We watched football, but the constant loud music kind of killed the football mood. Still an ok place to be for a few beers and way dining.

Ideal for football and quick bites Main menu isn't as different from other pub chains

Called in for a quick pint and bite to eat on the way to anfield for the legends game,staff were very friendly as always in liverpool.we only had a lite bite which was great value as it came with a free drink.food was very nice and a decent portion for a light bite,the only down side was that they don't serve guinness upstairs only in the main bar,but overall was worth a visit.

Men’s toilets are absolutely disgusting and then they have the cheek to have a male trying to sell aftershave to customers. When approached about the disgusting toilets he became very aggressive and started dancing in the toilets around customers like he was on something or drunk. Very strange indeed.

Popped in for lunch, food was great, staff were lovely, little Clare is very friendly, all round great service.

Called in to pass some time while I waited for an appointment in the afternoon. Shaun was working solo but still friendly, attentive and delivering great service. Food was pretty good, I'd call back in if in the area again.

Quick bite to eat before shopping breakfast was hot , fresh and delicious would definitely be back again soon , would recommend

The little blonde was great, great service, great value great atmosphere.

We visited Yates this afternoon after some top quality food and some nice ale and we was greeted with some lovely service and great banter, Claire the waitress was really kind and really interacted with us as customers and made us feel at home, Thankyou for your service we’ll definitely be returning!

The food and service was great, Claire took great care of us as we were recovering from a heavy night. Will definitely be back soon

Claire took care of us when we visited Yates today all very fuzzy headed, her customer service was impeccable and she had great banter with the lads, we’ll be seeing her soon again!, Thanks Claire you star x

Lovely drinks and lovely staff shoutout to Clare for the amazing service.

The food was spot on. We got two lots of fish and chips, two puds and a glass of coke each for £20. Clare behind the bar’s an absolute riot, and she really went out of her way for us. I don’t usually like corporate places all that much, but Yates really felt like it had its own vibe. I’ll definitely be going back.

Great place to watch the footy and have some food in town, the menu is decent and the food is good. Clare is a credit to the place, always welcoming and fast and friendly service

Come here all the time after work, our favourite place to come and chill always welcomed by staff big shout out to Clare she has so much time for us and always serves us with a smile.

Great place for a chill out catch up 👍

My friend and I decided to pop into Yates the other day. It’s a lot different from what we used to know of Yates but we really enjoyed ourselves! We had a few drinks and ending up having dinner there in the end. The meals were both reasonably priced and I thought the portion sizes were really good in comparison to some other places in the town centre. We were served by the manager, I think he said his name was Wade, he was a really decent bloke and spent a little time chatting to my friend about football. The whole experience was really good and took us both by surprise, will definitely be coming back!

Used to call at this pub while waiting for a bus only drink john smiths as a rule the pouring and taste of the pint was atrocious gave the pub a wide birth for a while and wandered back in to see if there was any Improvement i enquired to the staff about my concerns and was assured all problems had been addressed and beer was fine but hence to know avail didn't get a chance to sample the pint half poured with nozzle on then other half poured with nozzle off this was done secretly so as to not draw to much attention (doesn't that tell you there's a problem) pint ended up looking like dish water with no life whatsoever in the pint walked out again in disgust just gutted I had already paid for pint on card and didn't get a refund a word to the powers that be there teach your staff how to pour pints correctly by the way the reason for the 1 star was not intentionally awarded it was the only way I could register my review
