Philharmonic Dining Rooms, Victorian pub in Liverpool, England
The Philharmonic Dining Rooms is a pub dating from around 1900 in Liverpool with elaborate Art Nouveau decoration throughout its copper fixtures, marble panels, and carved stonework. The interior spans multiple floors, each filled with artistic metalwork and ornamental details.
The building was constructed between 1898 and 1900 for brewer Robert Cain, designed by architect Walter W Thomas. Craftspeople from University College Liverpool contributed to its detailed artistic execution.
The rooms bear the names of composers Brahms and Liszt, reflecting the connection to the nearby Liverpool Philharmonic Hall. Visitors can sense these musical references woven into the character of the different drinking spaces.
The building stands at the corner of Hope Street and Hardman Street and is easily reached on foot. It serves pub food and maintains regular opening hours, with rooms spread across multiple levels throughout the interior.
The gentlemen's restroom features striking pink marble fixtures and ornate detailing that make it one of the most decorated facilities of its kind from the Victorian era. Many visitors are surprised to discover such artistic craftsmanship in a space they might usually overlook.
