The Head of Steam Liverpool

A stone's throw from Liverpool One and Concert Square, The Head of Steam Liverpool hums with gastropub energy on Hanover Street. Renowned for a formidable line-up of local craft refreshments, alongside interesting pours from further afield, it has earned a loyal crowd of after-shopping sippers and late-night lingerers alike.

Inside, the kitchen serves comfort with a global accent: pizzas hot from the oven, gyros stuffed with chicken shawarma or falafel, and the venue’s own Head of Steam-branded burgers, all built for hearty appetites and casual sharing.

Built for grazing, loaded fries and sociable plates bring big flavours - garlic, chilli and cheesy goodness - while a considered vegan offering, recognised by Vegan Friendly UK, means everyone can get involved.

Beyond the taps, there is a bar primed for high spirits, from cocktails and spirits to a wine list that nods to environmentally conscious makers and a sparkle for celebratory moments.

Lively without losing its welcome, it is the kind of spot where the buzz of the city meets easy-going hospitality, and a photo booth invites snapshots for @hos_liverpool. Drop in after a browse or settle in for the evening; come thirsty, leave with a story.
