Lovely spot. Dropped in for a pint, not too busy at the bar but Irish fella serving was waiting for a girl to come to the bar and would serve them. Girl behind the bar was run off her feet! Waited for ten minutes and gave up, left people there who'd been waiting longer than me. Would come again and give it another go, but hopefully different people working so that I can actually get a drink!

Honestly hard to fault. Pool tables (with contactless option) in a nice room with Mario art and such. I had a Vegan kebab and chicken alternative which were both pretty good. My girlfriend had a burger with "facon" (which they could've been slightly more generous with) and it was a little less impressive but a really good experience overall. Definitely my go-to in the area. Oh, and there was quite the beer selection!

Came here for a couple of drinks and really enjoyed it. The staff were really friendly. They serve delirium red Belgium beer, which is delicious and packs a punch! A pint of that and you'll be feeling nice and happy! They have a nice selection of beers, wines and spirits, and the pricing is fair given the central location. It's a really nice bar, decorated well, and feels cosy, especially in the train style booths in the back. Definitely recommend coming here if you're in the area and looking for a place for a couple of nice drinks!

Boss atmosphere, plenty of seating, really good size premises, bar games & Wii at the back. Excellent range of drinks with really helpful and friendly staff. And as a bonus, it’s only place to get Delirium in Liverpool. I wouldn’t say the location suits the kind of place it is, but it conveniently located.

I have visited the Head of Steam multiple times in the last year. The staff are always extremely friendly and helpful. They have a fantastic variety of beers and ciders, there's always something new to try and something for everyone! The atmosphere, regardless if empty or bustling, is always great and very appealing. On my most recent visit, I decided to indulge in their lunch menu. I went for the Single Steam burger, which came with nachos included. The burger was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. The nachos were okay, though the cheese sauce was quite cold. Regardless, very good food and great value. I would definitely recommend this place to grab a drink or even have a meal!
