About The Hope & Anchor
On Maryland St in Liverpool, The Hope & Anchor is a pub built around a beer range, a burger menu, and a pool table alongside TV sports. Sundays bring a bottomless brunch with cocktails such as espresso martinis, pina coladas, and woo woo. Beyond burgers, the kitchen runs to Caesar chicken and pizza, with vegan options on the menu. Table service takes drink orders throughout the meal, and staff will move tables on request. Screens around the room show sport, including F1 and Derby day fixtures. It opens daily and takes walk-ins rather than reservations.

Customer Review Summary
Bottomless brunch is what most reviewers come for, and it earns repeated praise for quick food, plentiful drinks and attentive table service. Diners mention the Caesar chicken, vegan options and cocktails, with the woo woo, pina colada and espresso martini singled out as strong and tasty. One group says it averaged eight drinks each, and others call it good value. Reviewers consistently credit individual servers for keeping glasses full, handling a large group with different drink orders, and moving a table without fuss. The bar staff, cheap drinks and pub quizzes also draw praise, and one reviewer mentions watching the British F1 there. The one sharp complaint comes from a lunch order of pizza, where a reviewer reports waiting over half an hour in a pub that wasn't busy, then being met with a rude, dismissive response when asking for a refund. That reviewer describes the pizza as cold and grainy, burnt on top and wet and slimy underneath. Several others note that food arrived fast, and one says they did not wait long.

“This is my first time writing a review but the service given today by Joe and Nicole was exceptional. From the moment we arrived nothing was too much trouble. From friendly service to making sure we was ok. We asked to move table and was accommodated without any hesitation or trouble. Would recommend this venue to anyone. What a place to enjoy and watch the British F1. Thank you”

“A welcoming and informal bar in a student area. A great place to relax, do some work, meet new friends and join in activities such as quizzing. It is also an ideal place to watch the big games on TV whilst eating and drinking from our street food influenced menus. Sign up for a More app and earn back 10p for every £1 you spend!
