Dining Tapestries
Description: We have some wonderful architecture in Liverpool including England's only Grade 1 listed Victorian Pub, The Philharmonic Dining Rooms, more commonly known as The Philharmonic Pub or just "The Phil", It is a "Cathedral among pubs", with spectacular interior Art Nouveau decoration. It was built between 1898 and 1900 and designed by famous Liverpool architect Walter W. Thomas and has been described as a "Gin Palace of outstanding architectural quality". It is situated between Liverpool's two cathedrals in Hope Street and was a favourite watering hole for The Beatles in their early days. Paul McCartney revisited it in 2018 with James Corden and did a surprise gig for the unsuspecting drinkers Well worth a visit if you are ever lucky enough...
Description: One of the last holdouts in the ever-changing landscape of Uptown will bow out of business when Lucia’s closes for the final time on October 14. The restaurant was founded more than three decades ago by its namesake chef, Lucia Watson. She was Minneapolis’ Alice Waters—a champion for local food, farmers and our collective culinary heritage. Watson sold the business in 2014 to an investment group. Not long afterwars, longtime sous chef Ryan Lund left (Lund is now the chef at Wayzata’s ninetwentyfive restaurant.) However, the new restaurant owners pledged to carry on Lucia’s legacy and hired chef Alan Bergo, an avid forager, to take the helm.
