The Bastion Bar & Restaurant

Went for lunch with my daughter. Place was so cold I had to wear my coat to eat my meal. Limited choice of food. Had sea bass which was very nice. Staff were lovely and the furnishings are very plush.

Excellent staff, really hopefully and friend and great service. They where also really attentive making sure everything was ok will come again, thank you x

Visited the Bastion Bar and Restaurant for Sunday lunch with family and we really enjoyed the experience. Friendly staff, great food and lovely atmosphere. The roast platter was fantastic.

Amazing food, friendly staff , fantastic atmosphere , a must visit for any football fan or lover of quality food . Will definitely be dining at the restaurant next time I visit Liverpool

The food was amazing and served fast. Our waiter was lovely and was really welcoming and helpful. The only down side was the time it took for the drinks to come out.

Lovely food, excellent service staff were brilliant couldn't do enough and a large variety of lovely cocktails. Try the Bubblegum Gin cocktail that was our favourite.

excellent food, beautiful surroundings but service very slow for drinks. had to ask several times to get attention at the table. But will return despite that.

I love the design in the restaurant. The service there was amazing and the food was great, I loved every single thing. I'll definitely go again.

Food was excellent as always, staff especially Caitlyn very attentive and polite and surroundings just beautiful. Would highly recommend to any Liverpool fan even when a match isn’t on. Or to anyone who just loves great food and atmosphere.

Tosi hyvät ruuat. Hieno miljöö varsinkin Liverpool/Shankly -fanille. Hintataso kohtuullinen tasoon nähden.

We were provided with an excellent service thank you! All the staff were very friendly and helpful... such a good atmosphere! Will definitely book again soon

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great atmosphere whilst watching the match. Good deals on drink if Liverpool win. Food was delicious too. Will definitely be back soon.

Great service, helpful staff and the food was delicious also found the restaurant extremely warm and cozy when walking in from the cold weather all good stuff: 👍 Well done

Service was slow Portions were fine however the lambshoulder was extremely salty. I've not eaten here before and although the setting is lovely I felt I was in a working man's boozer....the guest on a couple of table's were rowdy obviously had been drinking all day due to the derby. I felt there was no quiet area to have a relaxing meal.

Great location and ambiance, the food was ok but really surprised at the length of time it took for food to arrive, given the restaurant was quiet.

Delicious food and excellent service made it a very pleasant birthday lunch for my husband. The restaurant has has a lovely relaxed atmosphere and the staff are very friendly. I look forward to going back soon.

We were welcomed in a friendly manner. The food and service were excellent and we were very impressed with our waitress, Jess. she went out of her way to make us feel special.

Atmosphere food service all amazing purchased for my fiancé’s birthday she loved it. Amazing hotel well worth a visit we will definitely be going again and will stay over next time 5atar

Was brought to table which had early bird menus and pieces of card left over from last guests sitting before us. Was informed the Sunday lunch menu that we had booked £19.95 for 3 course was now changed and we could have it, which was wrong advertising. Eventually was told we could have the option we originally booked, the food was nice but the mains was quite cold. Plus when asking for Horseradish sauce, we were informed that they had run out of it! This was at 3:30pm The service was poor , 1 example was the deserts arrive with no cutlery and no napkins! I had to personally go and ask for these after waiting almost 5 mins from when the deserts arrived. Finally, the bill was over charged as they had billed us for the new Sunday lunch rate , even though they had agreed to us handing the rate we originally booked at! Over all dissatisfaction with service in here.

Arrived early. Had 2 grandchildren with us. Quickly shown a table. Waitresses were excellent. Gave us a complimentary glass of prisecco each as we had mentioned it was our 40th wedding anniversary. There were 2 seoerate hen parties in the restaurant whilst we were there but they didn’t disturb us. The disappoint was in the actual food. We both ordered winter vegetable soup. That was a spicy mush. More peppery than taste of vegetables. The roll was cold and tiny compared to the large round pat of frozen butter that was served with it. Enough butter to spread on 3 rolls so most was unused on both our plates. I ordered steak and frites - not an apertizing meal when it arrived... small round steak (cooked medium as requested) one mushroom and small sprig of watercress 3/4 of the plate was of skinny fries which covered rest of plate. Very dry meal. Disappointed. My husband ordered fish and chips... chips were chunky chips - very average taste, let most of them uneaten. Fish in batter was not the nicest. Husbands verdict was 3/10 for the fish. Said it tasted it didn’t taste or look like fresh batterec fish more like frozen fish heated up in oven. The pot of mushy peas were dry - again most left uneaten. For dessert I opted for apple delice with a portion of ice cream - when it arrived. Nice presentation. icecream was in separate pot. The apple delice was ok. Stewed apple with a type of creesecske mix on top. I ended up giving husband my pot of ice cream as he had ordered sticky toffee pudding with ice cream which had arrived with the smallest serving of ice cream - not even a full scoop! There was lots of sauce which the sponge seemed to be surrounded in. The sponge was dry even when trying to eat it with the sauce and the allocated ice cream,. So I gave husband my pot of ice cream too. In the end half the dry sponge was left on plate uneaten. We had a £50 gift voucher which we used towards cost of our meal and we left a tip for the waitresses as we felt the poor food quality was not their fault. Our overall opinion of the Bastion restaurant was - not worth a re-visit and we wouldn’t be recommending it as a place to dine to any of our many family or friends. We will tell the. Honestly about the excellent waitresses but that alone is not a good e bough reason to return there. We didn’t complain to restaurant whilst there. But we have come away feeling disappointed with what should have been a lovely gift treat meal. Sue Fevine devine.susan@btinternet.com

Lovely food. Milk was off and had to have fresh stuff 4 times but the man who served is was really really apologetic. Thank you.

Lovely, tasty, freshly prepared food. Polite, prompt but unobtrusive service. Nice, relaxed atmosphere and varied, reasonable menu. A good dining experience . Well done. Will return

Great place for the Liverpool fan or food lover! Fantastic history and Shankly memorabilia. Excellent service, excellent food and great value, would recommend the Gin Sling!

We had a perfect evening . The food was delicious , service was very good and the Bill Shankley memorabilia was very touching to see

Fabulous food. A big thank to Beth for all your help and being so attentive. Would definitely recommend eating here and the gin cocktails. Brilliant!

Phoned to book table, told to hold for manager. No manager answered so put phone down after 4 mins wait. Booked online (ok) Drinks quick but slow for ordering & getting food. Wife had braised steak (had on previous visit very nice) this time meat was tough sent back & had another meal which was nice. In fairness no charge for my wife’s meal.

Decor was nice, food was nice, staff were exceptionally nice. But although we know it is a football themed hotel and restaurant there were too many screens and way too loud. It is very near reception and so people checking in and out, and waiting for transport, and the football matches going on there was a lot of hustle and bustle and not a great atmosphere to enjoy a leisurely lunch, nicer for a pint and a pie.

Arrived at 7.40 to be told they could not get the football on😡, which was the main reason god booking, then waited 35 mins to get a drink, was not impressed at all..

Amazing food, great atmosphere. Overall dining experience is exceptional here which is why we return time and time again. 5 stars every time for the bastion

We go here to watch Liverpool in the champions league, We’ve always enjoyed it but last bit the fish and chips which was very dry, I had chocolate fondant for dessert which wasn’t good & the service wasn’t good either

Had a great day,food was very nice,beer nice and cold and the mighty reds won so all in all a brilliant time. Definitely going back for the next away game

Lovely food , and good wine . The cocktails were really great too. The service was really good and the staff were very friendly. Would definitely recommend.

our experience having afternoon tea at The Shankly’s Bastion Bar and Restaurant was great would recommend to all. Staff were so friendly, helpful and welcoming

Lovely environment, well presented, friendly attentive staff. The food was absolutely gorgeous and couldn't fault it at all! would definately go again if in Liverpool and would highly recommend to others!

Lovely afternoon tea, sandwiches are varied and fresh and cakes looked homemade. We were celebrating my husbands birthday. They were great with out 2 yr old and gave her balloons

An excellent dining experience. Food was very tasty. Staff were very friendly, helpful & attentive. The Bastion Bar & Grill was busy with a wedding, but this didn't impact on the service, quality of food, friendliness of staff, or wait times. Couldn't fault it

Excellent food. Have been back quite a few times now and the service and atmosphere are always amazing. Great place to relax on a date night

Our afternoon tea was lovely, service was attentive enough without being intusive. Fabulous atmosphere, definitely would recommend to friends and family and we will be back x Thank you

Brilliant service from Paul and a young blonde girl with a pony tail (didn’t get her name sorry!). Dealt well with our awful sense of humour, really lovely and fun staff but still ooze professionalism at all times also. Food was lovely - scotch egg definitely a favourite. Only negative was that the set menu was different than the one online so that needs to be updated; the choice you’re left with for the mains is not the best. Chicken, fish, lamb or veggie. I’m allergic to fish & seafood and can’t eat lamb either so you’re limited to two options - the menu online was much better so slightly disappointed but the courses were lovely alll the same. Chicken slightly undercooked so half pink and slimy & couldn’t eat it but it happens! Cocktails fantastic - love the bubblegum tom Collins gin thingy. Good wine choice too. Free glass of bubbly due to a prepaid table cancelling made my mums birthday even better! Music was great, brilliant atmosphere brilliant decor and nice range of guests, all staff even outside or the restaurant fabulous. Can’t wait to return and try the full menu as well as stay over. Thanks for a wonderful evening.

Food very nice, staff very friendly and service was spot on, would recommend this hotel to stay in or just the bar for food and drinks, great location x
