The Pen Factory in Liverpool

Lovely food and beer, brilliant service. Already one of my favourite places to eat.

Great atmosphere, reminiscent of the original Everyman Bistro, I ate a mixed salad and drank a pint of pilsner. I didn't get the salad mix I ordered and salad was a little over seasoned for my taste (I didn't mention anything to the serving staff). I enjoyed the experience overall and will certainly visit again.

Food and ambience were great, service could have been better. 3 waitresses working, not particularly busy, but they studiously avoided catching one's eye

Great kitchen/bar with good selection of cask and a few craft beers. Excellent food at very reasonable prices. I had a delicious fish pie for less than £8

Good selection of beers and interesting food on the menu. Staff efficient and friendly. Will make a return visit

Lovely atmosphere, decor and great food - although primarily listed on blackboard at one end (which means you have to get up as cant view from tables) to see all menu. I have been twice and each time they had run out of ingredients for one dish i wanted and waiting staff not very attentive ( had to go to bar to pay as no one noticed, had to remind staff for forgotton item) but would still recommend as food really good and I like the feel of the venue. Its really close to Catholic cathedral & university so great choice for visitors/ visiting parents.

Very popular place so gets busy at the weekend. We had no problems getting a table for drinks and the atmosphere was buzzing. The selection of draft and bottled beers was great too, so I'll be trying a few of those on my next visit.

Lovely place and staff! Unfortunately they didn’t have any plum Porter left but they had a wide selection available

Very good with access and knowledgeable friendly staff in a pleasant environment. Seems a place to meet friends and relax as a comfortable place to be.

Lovely meal, tasty and healthy. Absolutely reccomended for a work or family meeting
