The Blackburne Arms Gastro Pub and Hotel

I travelled from Dublin to watch Liverpool vs Brighton recently and stayed in the hotel. The room was well priced, location is good and the room was comfortable. Prior to my arrival, I was in touch with the Blackburne Arms on three different occasions to make sure there would be no problem with a late checkin. I even called on the morning I was travelling. I was assured on each occasion that there would be no issue as long as I arrived before 12am when the pub closes. My flight landed at 10.30pm and I arrived to the hotel shortly after 11pm. To my dismay, I found that everything was locked up and staff had gone home. I had no way of getting into my room and even faced the prospect of having to find somewhere else to stay at very short notice which is next to impossible on match weekends. I spent around 30 minutes trying to call the premises by phone, but got no answer. I was even knocking on the doors of the other guests to ask if they had contact details for management. Out of desperation, I sent a message to the pub on Facebook messenger hoping it would ping on someones phone. Luckily enough it did and to be fair, a staff member came back to let us in soon after. We received an apology from the staff and management for the situation we found oursleves in. For a good 40 minutes, we feared the worst and it wasn't a pleasant experience to say the least. I only give truthful and honest reviews. I would like to give a better rating because the staff and management do seem to be very decent people, but I can only give a rating based on my experience. Therefore, I have given it a very generous 2 stars

The best Sunday roast in Liverpool. Nothing to add. I've been to The Blackburne many times and I've always been satisfied. I never used it as a hotel as I live in Liverpool but only went to the pub. If I can make a suggestion: they should get better knives to cut meat.

Really good ,food was excellent

Absolutely stunning roast dinner Service outstanding Nearby activities: Liverpool is stunning city

Great food, steak night on Thursday good quality, prices as you would expect for gastro pub experience! Thoroughly enjoyed! Walkability: 15 minutes walk from central!

Really good food, found it to be a little expensive for pub crub, £9 for pudding, mine was quite big. Staff work very hard to keep drinks topped up and tables clear
