Tucked away on the iconic Mathew Street, Flanagan’s Apple is a Liverpool institution that blends the charm of a traditional Irish pub with the buzz of a city-centre hotspot. Housed in a striking 19th-century building, this three-floor venue is full of character, with exposed brickwork, wooden beams and cosy nooks that make it equally suited to a quiet pint or a lively night out.
The menu is a celebration of hearty pub favourites with a playful twist. Expect crowd-pleasers like hot honey chicken and bacon burgers, and a range of small plates perfect for sharing – think Cheddar and jalapeño doughnuts, dirty tato pops, and crispy chicken tenders with sweet chilli sauce. There’s also a nod to Irish roots with colcannon poppers and Guinness BBQ wings, while sweet treats like salted caramel profiteroles round things off nicely.
The menu also features stone-baked pizzas brushed with garlic, including classics like margherita and ham and mushroom, plus a variety of small plates ideal for mixing and matching.
Flanagan’s is more than just a place to eat – it’s a hub for live sport, music and good craic. Whether you’re catching a match, enjoying a weekend DJ set or just soaking up the atmosphere with friends, the vibe is always warm and welcoming. The drinks list is extensive, with a solid selection of beers, spirits and cocktails, and of course, a well-poured pint of Guinness.
Located just a stone’s throw from the Cavern Club and Liverpool ONE, Flanagan’s Apple is perfectly placed for locals and visitors alike. It’s a great shout for lunch, pre-gig drinks or a full evening out – a proper Liverpool gem with a big heart and even bigger personality.
