Pub joins Buckingham Palace on Grade I list - 19th February 2020
The Philharmonic Dining rooms is an English pub. It’s a Liverpool institution and a favourite hangout of the Beatles. It has become the first Victorian-era English pub to receive Grade One listed status.
It’s known as ‘The Phil’ to locals, and was built in 1898. Architect Walter W Thomas designed its impressive stone exterior with stained glass windows and luxurious decor.
It was originally a men-only dining room. They went to the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall concert venue opposite. Its toilets are famous for their design.
John Lennon complained “not being able to have a pint in the Phil” was the worst thing about his Beatles fame. The Phil's Grade One status places it at the same level as Buckingham Palace as one of the country’s architectural jewels.
Eamon Lavin is the pub landlord. Eamon Lavin: "It’s pretty rare to get a public venue, where you can walk into a venue, and see a Grade One listed status. Most venues you would go into, you have to walk around or you can't sit down, whereas in here you can just sit down and take in the architecture."
