The Tavern Company, American restaurant in South Liverpool, England
The Tavern Company is a two-floor restaurant on Smithdown Road in South Liverpool, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner throughout the day. A later extension added more dining space, so the building now has several separate areas with different seating arrangements.
The restaurant has been on Smithdown Road for close to 20 years, starting as a small eatery and growing into a regular meeting point for students and local residents. Its position near several university campuses shaped much of that growth over time.
The menu brings together American comfort food and Mexican dishes side by side, from burritos to smoked ribs to stacked pancakes. Both cooking traditions share equal space on the menu without one overshadowing the other.
The restaurant is open every day from morning until late evening, so it works for any meal of the day. Arriving early is a good idea on busy evenings or weekends if you want to pick a spot in a particular area of the building.
The restaurant has a separate candlelit bar area that feels quite different from the rest of the dining rooms, giving the impression of a different place entirely. This section is not always visible from the entrance, so it is worth asking staff where to find it.
