The Ivy Liverpool Brasserie

The Ivy Liverpool Brasserie – Where Gloss Meets the Mersey

Perched on Castle Street, in the heart of Liverpool’s resurgent dining district, The Ivy Liverpool Brasserie is what happens when metropolitan polish is dropped – gently – into a city that knows how to wear its glamour with a grin.

The brand may have begun life amid the rarefied air of London West End sophistication, but here, in the North West, it trades knowing exclusivity for something warmer, chattier, and altogether more accessible.

Step inside and the noise of the street fades like a curtain dropping. The room is all shimmering chandeliers, burnished brass, and botanical bravado – a careful choreography of comfort and spectacle.

The menu is as you’d expect: modern British with an eye on brasserie classics, and a commendable nod to the plant-curious. No one leaves hungry, and everyone leaves feeling slightly more polished than when they walked in. Breakfast to dinner, seven days a week, with a side of grandeur.

Private dining events at The Ivy Liverpool

For those seeking a more exclusive affair, The Penny Lane Room offers what can only be described as a velvet-roped retreat from the main dining floor.

It is, unapologetically, a room designed to be admired – an elegant, almost cinematic space made for celebration. Whether you’re toasting a birthday, hosting a discreet business dinner, or delivering a wedding speech with dramatic pause, this is the stage.

With space for 16 seated or 25 standing (glass in hand, canapé poised), The Penny Lane Room doesn’t just accommodate – it flatters. Canapés arrive like polished little overtures, the main dishes follow suit, composed by an Executive Chef with an eye for occasion rather than innovation.

The service is attentive without being performative, and there’s a pleasing sense that the staff have quietly seen it all.

In a city that dances between grit and glamour, The Ivy Liverpool offers a private dining experience that leans confidently toward the latter. Yes, it’s all a bit curated, a bit theatrical – but when the lighting’s this flattering and the fizz flows freely, why on earth not?
