The Bastion Bar & Restaurant

Lovely restaurant. Food was delicious & service very attentive. When visiting again will certainly be back to dine. Maybe stay next time in the hotel.

Not a place to visit if you want a quiet meal. Starter and dessert great. Main meal mediocre. Although staff very nice and interesting reading about bill shankly

Overall, we had a fabulous meal in a lovely restaurant. Not too formal. Comfortable surroundings. Just felt the service could be a little sharper and the food a bit warmer. When our order was taken we were told they would bring a jug of water and some bread. The jug of weather arrived. No bread. This omission was rectified later, but the bread was then brought with our main course. Lovely bread by the way. Not sure how far the kitchen is from the restaurant but would not describe the food served as hot, more lukewarm. Fortunately it didn’t detract from what was a beautifully presented and very tasty meal, but I do prefer hot dishes to be served hot. I will visit again, and as a Liverpool fan I found the memorabilia interesting and a talking point. The staff were helpful and friendly. We arrived early, and at that point the restaurant wasn’t busy and the noise level was quite low, but as the evening progressed the noise level increased and if there are a couple of large boisterous groups I suspect it could get a little noisy. Overall a very enjoyable experience and I will visit again.

O booked for my girl birthday thought they might of said something or a glass of wine but nothing the starter was tiny and was 8 pound not stingy but a little round piece of ham with one piece of Piccadilly on it......

Really enjoy this Bar, great staff all very friendly and a cracking atmosphere.

Fantastic bar and restaurant combined. Perfect venue whether you are staying in the Shankly or just visiting Liverpool. Highly recommend this bar food staff and decor are fantastic. Can't wait to go back to stay in the Shankly in March again.

Excellent service. I am a returning customer and the food just excels with every visit. Great attention to detail and extremely pleasant staff. Will definitely visit again

Food quality very good - soup served without rolls which were still being cooked & did arrive after more than 1/2-way through starters. Table was on edge of the bar & thus became very noisy as the bar filled up although the restaurant was not too busy. Due to location of table it was quite chilly with the front door being regularly opened. Overall just a few points away from being a good experience.

we Had a lovely meal piping hot, & well presented. We had lovely young lady waited on us. We’ve dined here before & will be going again can’t fault the Shankly hotel

What a night we had New Year's Eve food was lovely the staff was amazing couldn't ask for a better night our waitress and the manager were lovely so friendly

The food and service top notch, the thing that spoilt the night was having over a dozen televisions playing a football match absolutely no need nor necessary on a New Year’s Eve; the music so loud couldn’t hear yourself talk

Lovely delicious food staff were lovely and attentive. Christmas menu was perfect! A mistake was made when the bill arrived but was quickly rectified . Great service thank you

Went here for a special Xmas meal out with friends. Was impressed with the menu, good variety and although on the pricey side not too pricey to put you off. Starters arrived ok but then there was a LOOOONG wait for the mains, were on the point of asking if we were ever going to be fed when it arrived a good 40 minutes after our starters. The place wasn't busy but perhaps the food was cooked fresh, even so it was a long wait. All the food was lovely but the servings were a bit stingey on the the veg. Why don't places give you enough veg? It's the cheapest thing on the menu. They can only be wanting you to buy the accompaniments, but you don't know you'll need this until you are eating. Meat was wonderful, very tender and flavourful. Between us we had ox cheek, fish, pork and lamb. All delicious. There was a singer performing on the night we went. Unfortunately it wasn't really our thing - very droning James Blunt style and he was so loud. We couldn't hear each other talking, which was a shame because it was a catchup meal where we hadn't seen theses friends for ages. We asked if the music could be toned down a bit but nothing came of that and we ended up sitting looking at each other. The other aspect that was mentionable was the height of the chairs at some tables. My husband is quite tall but even he looked like a child sitting on very low chairs at a table that came mid chest height. Very strange. Staff were very friendly and attended to us making sure we had enough drinks and even attempting to act on our request to have the music down just a bit. Overall we enjoyed our evening but I'm not sure I would recommend any of my friends to go there or go again myself.

Had the early bird menu at 5pm on the 16th December. Food was lovely and service good. Restaurant area was a little rowdy due to Christmas crowds but would certainly return.

Fantastic food and amazing venue to eat for any reds fan - can spend hours here learning about Shankley and the history of the club! staff where fantastic and very helpful, live music very good to

It started with a man drilling the wall to mount a TV, right next to us in the bar. We moved to the restaurant area which, felt like sitting in the reception due to its close proximity. It was so cold that we had to put our coats on as the front door was constantly opening (even the staff were huddled around an electric heater). And then, entered a children's Christmas party along with a visiting Santa! It was a cold and noisy dining experience. However, the food and the service were good.

Friendly staff. Very quick in asking us what drinks we wanted. Ordered food but a bit disappointed that we had to ask for bread, even though I had ordered soup as starter. Food was lovely and hot.

Great venue, full of history about the Great Man. The staff (on a few visits now) have always been very helpful & most pleasant, even at the busiest of times. Recently attended for 'Afternoon Tea' the food did not disappoint.

I recently booked the Shankly & the bastion restaurant for my parents 40th Wedding Anniversary as a surprise gift. Having been their myself numerous times i knew the service and the food was fantastic. They seated them st the best table with a glass of prosecco free of charge, this added to the whole experience they were really spoilt. Thankyou will definitely visit again soon

The Bastion restaurant is full of football memorabilia very interesting, we had the 3course Sunday lunch the food was fantastic I will definitely be visiting here again , lovely staff and reasonably priced.

Lovely restaurant and great for any liverpool FC fans out there. Food was average - more like pub food. Expected better. Service was really good

Lovely surroundings, food was nice and staff were polite; they did miss the chance to take drinks orders a few times though. There seemed to be a person for every job people to take orders/bring drinks, bring food, clear plates and clear glasses.

Lovely lunch yesterday for a birthday treat for my sister I had the spicy chickpea soup would recommend this service was great food was lovely would return

hi i enjoyed the meal , i had steak and my wife had oxes cheek , she did not like the sauce as it was sweet ? were we were seated , every time the front door opened we got a very cold draught , and we requested a ten/15 minute break after our starter but it was five minutes . thanks tony

Beautiful food and excellent service in a great location. Well spaced tables create a better dining experience and environment to talk to your party. Lovely!

A very enjoyable Afternoon Tea...some of which we took home! We are looking forward to visiting the Shankly Hotel again soon and would definitely recommend.

Beautiful food fabulous service and amazing atmosphere the singer just made it absolutely perfect today we will definitely be back again thank you very much

Food was excellent, service too, only thing that stopped me giving the highest rating was that it was a bit chilly where we were seated due to the proximity to the front door.

Lovely meal, excellent staff, good atmosphere! So good we went back today for lunch, which was also good. Our waitress Lucy was extremely efficient and friendly.

Amazing service, perfect food and a fantastic swing singer, we had the Sunday roast which was stunning and a treacle tart for dessert which was to die for. A really enjoyable night.

Amazing Food, cocktails, staff and atmosphere was brilliant. My new favourite place and husband thought it was great that he Didn’t miss football while taking me out

Lovely food, excellent service and thoughtful staff with regards to catering for children. My little boy was offered things that weren’t in the kids menu such as bubblegum ice cream. Highly recommended.

We had a really lovely evening, thank you to our amazing waitress, it was her first evening and we were her first customers. The service was spot on and the food was delicious, really like the atmosphere of the restaurant and would definitely be returning again. Thank you Shankly Hotel for a lovely night.
