We loved this place. Underground and moody with excellent service, the best food we’ve had in a long time, incredible whisky and cocktails. But be prepared to blow at least £100 on a night for two - spend more of you can afford it!

cuando escuché sobre pubs bar ect tener que cerrar mi primer lagrimero es para este lugar. uno de los pocos bares en el área noroeste que entiende que una gran bebida es más que solo el contenido de los vasos (aunque para ser justos, también lo tienen para un arte). la decoración es difícil de describir, obviamente inspirada en 1920, pero contiene solo lo mejor del mundo moderno. elegante, combinado con comodidad. como la custion perfecta, no se usa en o sobre gusano. en resumen, el ambiente sin rival, las bebidas son las mejores por el precio, y por eso no hay problema. . no hay otro lugar como este

Asistió con la otra mitad. Bajo tierra, por lo que no hay vistas de la ventana, pero el interior está bien hecho. Muy adornado, muy oscuro. Hay una sala de cigarros y un bar con un restaurante muy pequeño. Cada plato que nos pasó parecía impresionante. No fuimos por la comida, ¡fuimos por el whisky! Asombrosa cantidad de opciones.Pasar por esa sala de cigarros comenzó a provocarme una migraña, así que me dieron pastillas para el dolor. Creo que la decoración muy oscura, el humidor y la falta de ventanas provocaron mi temida migraña. Pero eso fue solo yo personalmente. Todavía se lo recomendaría a cualquiera

We booked here for my wife's birthday as part of a weekend away watching football and visiting gin bars. On entering i was surprised that the room didn't go back further. I soon came to understand the benefit of having such an intimate surrounding. The service was top notch and the serving staff were extremely attentive but not constantly interrupting. The food and drinks were exceptional and served beautifully presented. The tapas style 'small plates' were gorgeously presented and were the right amount of food to get the taste buds tingling before the main course. The fillet of beef was masterfully cooked and melted in the mouth with the help of a lovely Rioja.The ambience of the lounge was perfectly complimented by the music being played by the very talented Victoria, who played all the songs we asked her even though they weren't on her very comprehensive list. Thank you for making mine and more importantly my wife's night very special. I look forward to our next visit.

We visited the Puffin Rooms on the first weekend in January.From the moment we arrived we were looked after like royalty.Ron is an absolute gentleman who knows his whisky and cigars and he ensured our time there was one of the most enjoyable we've had.James was looking after us on the evening and his knowledge and enthusiasm was very refreshing to see; he guided us through the menu making suggestions and describing the items in detail...he's a real asset to the company. In fact all the staff encountered were of the highest calibre and had obviously been very well trained...they all appeared to really enjoy what they were doing.Victoria was singing so on the Saturday and was wonderful. She takes requests and played all of ours in her own style. We had a great talk with her afterwards and she suggested many places that we could go and visit in Liverpool the next day.Next door to the jazz bar is the cigar and whisky shop which stocks a vast array of rare and fine bottles as well as one of the best ranges of hand made cigars I have ever seen.We really had a great time at the Puffin Rooms and can recommend them as a must visit if you are in Liverpool. Thank you to all who looked after us so well!N and V

I booked the Churchill experience whisky tasting for my boyfriend for his birthday, we went last night and it was amazing! We have both been to the Puffin Rooms previously and all experiences have been wonderful but would highly recommend the tastings now too. There was an excellent selection available to taste and even though I am not a whisky drinker myself I felt fully included and learnt some really interesting things from our bartender Bobbi.It was very relaxed, not rushed and really enjoyed the whole experience. Again, Bobbi was fantastic, answered all questions and gave us some great stories and information about the whiskeys and many other drinks, she was so welcoming and we could have chatted longer I'm sure. Excellent value and we will of course be back in the near future!

After having my 50th birthday in January 2019 ruined, my husband planned what he hoped would be an amazing experience for my birthday in January 2020. He searched TripAdvisor and settled on the Puffin Rooms, due to the live music, cocktails and extensive wine and whisky menu. My birthday was on Sunday, 5th January, so we planned to make a night of it. He rang the Puffin Rooms a week before to book a table for 7:30, explaining that it we were visiting to celebrate my birthday. We arrived just before 7:30 and were taken to our table, a corner sat near to the live music. We were given one food menu between us and a gigantic drinks menu, which obscured our view. We ordered a drink each, my first was a cocktail and my husband a beer. I then ordered a white wine to go with my nibbles and explained to the waitress that I would order a different wine with each course, as we were settling in for the evening.

Yea it's fairly fancy but JEEZ do they put massive mark-ups on their cigars and other things. The same company sells the same cigars literally next door for about £6 less per cigar! The cigars were rather badly kept also, which was the tipping point for me. Two of the cigars which we purchased there were cracked at the foot and going brittle and one had half the wrapper leaf bleached under the lights. The humidor seemed set up purely for show and looks and was not keeping the cigars well at all, in fact damaging them.. and yet you're paying a lot more for them! You are paying about £5-£6 more per cigar just for going to this rather overly dark lounge where you can hardly see what you're eating, drinking or smoking. They don't allow you to smoke anything in there that you have purchased in their shop next door either, they force you to buy the crazy extortionate cigars in there. We checked out the live jazz first, which was nice, though pretty average live lounge jazz, for people who aren't big jazz lovers and more just want a generic ambiance. The bar was expensive but quite well stocked and good bar staff. Service was good at first but once we had sat down and decided what to order we were waiting around for ages for a member of staff to come back into the cigar room and had to walk out and find someone. The crowning turd on our evening however was some of the utter scum sat next to us - clearly very wealthy businessmen in 3 piece suits and posh accents talking very loudly about "revolting little poofs" (one of my friends I took there is gay and we almost had to leave halfway through our cigars) and about their manipulating and "sh**ging" women behind their wive's backs etc, and other things which are just too disgusting to mention. Some vile people, thoroughly average examples of the cigars we chose (badly stored also) and just a massive rip-off. There's no reason for them to charge so much other than the fact that they can.

If you are a fan of cocktails, spirits, cigars or jazz this spot is unmissable. Myself and partner had a phenomenal experience and could not fault them on any fronts. The ambiance and setting manage to both be classic and modern. The staff were terrific, cocktails and food were superb. The cigar lounge is the perfect icing on the cake. If living of visiting Liverpool, the Puffin Rooms is worth experiencing!

We visited here late on a Monday night for drinks. Greeted at the door we were shown to a table and given menus. They have a huge selection of whiskeys and other liquors but we opted for wine. The place was really quiet but it still had a really classy atmosphere with the smell of cigars in the air and jazz music in the background. Definitely the most expensive and the classiest bar I've ever been to.

Such a wonderful experience! A must stop every time I am in town. The staff is exceptional! The reviews that say otherwise must’ve been having a bad personal day and brought that with them. They are always professional and personable! The bartenders are always having fun coming up with great cocktails, even when I challenge them to come up with interesting drinks not on the menu! The atmosphere is so cozy and relaxing, especially with Victoria on piano. Everything we have had from the menu has be bursting with amazing flavours. The kitchen knows what they’re doing! This is premium location, so expect to pay for quality. If you are wanting an all encompassing experience, go with a great attitude and enjoy yourself!

We went Saturday night with friends, 4 people and the bill was £400, so we were good customers. One of the £10 cocktails was slopped down my wife’s leg, no apology and no offer to clean it up. The rest was spilt on the table and yet the drink was put down with half it down the glass as if that was good enough. That’s poor and I had to ask for the drink to be replaced. They didn’t clean the spillage and we had to do it. Food was superb quality whilst expensive. Why does the veg come out as individual dishes? We ate broccoli and potatoes without anything else? Nice to have had with the more main meals we had ordered. Cigar room is great and choice of drinks amazing. When you spend £400 on 4 people the service should be

We booked a few months in advance after reading great reviews and wanting to try out a more grown-up scene than other restaurants/bars in Liverpool. Great setting, superb staff, amazing cocktails, food which reminds your taste buds what decent food shoud taste like. My husband and I had a lovely night here and wouldn't hesitate to recommend and plan to return as soon as we can. My only regret is that we missed the usual singer although the bloke who was on was also very good, we had our hearts set on listening to Victoria. At least we have an excuse to have to go back :) We both had lovely small starters and small plates each but by far, the truffle and mushroom gnocchi - that, along with the nice bottle of Chianti transported us back to being in Italy which being the place we got engaged, was perfect for our annivesary. Thank you Puffin Rooms, especially the lovely young manager who's name i can't remember. We will be back!

We booked to have dinner at the Puffin rooms based on the good reviews on TA and as the website describes itself as the newest and most exciting venue in Liverpool. Thought it would be nice to have dinner with some live music but we were really underwhelmed by the whole experience. The venue is very small (which does make it nice and intimate) but this results in there being only half a dozen tables and we were seated right next to the bar, which wasn’t the best. We also found the band that was on very self-absorbed with too much chat and not enough music. I’m sure a lot of people really enjoy this sort of venue but It just really wasn’t what we wanted for our night out so we had one drink and left. Not somewhere we would go back to.

Was a pleasant evening till a very loud group sat down next to us. To make it worse, when we ordered the chocolate fondant we were told it was finished for the day. Reason transpired the group next to us had pre-ordered this dessert. On balance, no reason to return till they improve on these issues.

I love this place. Liverpool is such a fascinating fun town but plagued with restaurants with questionable customer service and OK food and bars with limited menu list of alcohol and few craft cocktails. Puffin Room blew us away. With fun entertainment, delicious food, and excellent craft cocktails and a very good wine list - it surpasses anything I have had in many trips to Liverpool and exceeds many places in other cities around the world. I will be back - every time!

While on a weekend with my bestie she introduced me to the Puffin Rooms and what a great experience. We were welcomed by Luke and it felt a little like being in a 1920,s private club. Beautiful decor and moody lighting sets the scene for the most amazing relaxed evening. We went in for one drink and stayed not wanting to leave this lovely venue with a wonderfully talented vocalist/pianist, Victoria Sharpe, entertaining us while we enjoyed cocktails. Staff made us feel like old friends. Will most definitely be back, in Nov in fact,as told my partner that I feel he would love it. To the Security guy, Daniel, thoroughly enjoyed our conversation and hope that all your wonderful work for other people comes to fruition. Congratulations folks.

Me and my friends entered the puffin rooms at about 11pm on a friday. We were seated at the bar and treated to the most outstanding service you could wish for. The drinks are expensive but extremely good value for money and the number of choices available is unbelievable. Mark and Bobbi behind the bar are both knowledgeable and articulate in describing how the cocktails are put together. This was a fantastic end to the night with brilliant live Jazz piano. Thoroughly enjoyable night. Your company was worth every penny. Cheers!

After reading a review of the Puffin Rooms we called in for a few drinks before going to our booked restaurant for our evening meal. We were welcomed in and shown to a lovely soft leather sofa and a room which had a great feeling about it. The drinks menu was very extensive and we tried a few rather expensive malts and brandies which were very good. Our bill was quite high for just a quick drink but we will definitely be going back to try there food and more importantly try some more expensive drinks

We had a cocktail masterclass sat at the bar with Mark who was a delight. We were passed some lovely little blue cheese potatoes halfway through which were to die for, and completely complimentary. A really nice touch from the kitchen. As the potatoes were so good and the music was about to begin, we decided to stay and eat and drink a few more of the cocktails we had just learned about. Nothing at all was second rate. The beef fillet was so "melt in the mouth", its difficult to describe, I've never had beef like that before in my life. My girlfriend had the cod and a few small nibbles which were elegantly presented and tasted just as good. The musician was a wonderful woman named Victoria who has a voice of pure silk. Really topped off a wonderful evening. We most definitely will return again and again.

Great surroundings, great choice of drinks, great food, wonderful staff and the fantastic Victoria Sharpe. A truly unique establishment with a very contemporary feel.

We wanted to try somewhere different for our 34th wedding anniversary. The Puffin Rooms is certainly that! Sumptuous decoration and relaxing ambience. Service and attention to detail was second to none! Staff had a great knowledge of food and drinks. On our arrival, we were congratulated on our anniversary and given a free glass of prosecco which we thought was a lovely touch. We had 2 plates of nibbles and three main plates of food which was beautifully cooked and presented. The lamb and beef dishes in particular were delicious! Although not big whisky drinkers, we followed this with a Loch Ness whisky which was rich and warming. Not too sure if we left too early but didn’t get to see the live musician who was meant to be performing that evening which was a bit of a shame....but maybe next time.

This place has great reviews, so thought it would be a great place for a friend of mines 50th. The service was good and it has a nice ambience, BUT we originally booked to eat for 19-30 (having booked 2 months in advance and paid a deposit). A few days before we were due to visit we were told the time had changed to 20-00 and we also had to pre-order and had 24 hours to do so, which given we were a party of 7 was problematic. We did get back to the Puffin Rooms within the allocated 24 hours, who then served up our pre-ordered food at approx 21-30 i.e. 2 hours after our original booking time and by which time we were starving! Would I eat there again? Would I take a party there again? No, sorry. This is fundamentally not a place to eat. To drink and listen to music and have a cigar in the smoking room yes, but to eat no. The food was nice when it arrived, but it is small plates, so having waited 2 hours over the original booking time, we also left feeling a bit hungry. I was the organiser of my good friends 50th, so it left me feeling embarrassed and upset. Fortunately, my friends are relaxed people and took all of this in their stride, which is to their credit.

Extortionately overpriced and food was no better than anywhere else! It was our wedding anniversary so the intimate setting was exactly what we wanted. Unfortunately they had no record of our booking (I had evidence of our tel call) and despite it being half empty, were shown to the worst table. Only when I complained were we upgraded. Hostess was sullen and unengaging. Pianist was the redeeming feature who we really enjoyed. We won't be back.

This was my second visit and it was just as good as the first. I visited once on a Friday evening and again on a Sunday afternoon. I have never visited anything like this place before. Its underground so there isn't any daylight, but the lighting inside reflects the calm chilled atmosphere. I ate on both occasions, I think you can just go there for drinks. The drinks list is extensive. My partner is a rum drinker and was very happy. Beautiful cocktails. The food is outstanding. It's a small plates menu, but fine dining, two plates each was enough for us. The only downside is some of the seating isn't the best for eating, but perfect for relaxing. We listened to the fabulous Victoria Sharpe whilst we were there, love love love it! Fantastic.

First visit and will be back. Great singer made the night special. The cocktails were unique and the food excellent - particularly gnocchi and beef. My only hesitation in scoring a 5 is that the drinks and food (for small plates) are a bit overpriced so I question value for money with a significant mark up on drinks.

Our last night in Liverpool and we were looking for something different - and found it. The bar portion of the Puffin Rooms is small and very intimate. Good jazz music until an excellent pianist replaced it. Good but brief wine list that pales in comparison to the whiskey list.

My wife and I visited the Puffin rooms in March for my birthday and had an amazing experience, the staff and the service provided were second to none. After being greeted mid afternoon we were shown into the luxuriously upholstered smoking room and after booking a whisky tasting experience sample 6 whiskys from various Scottish regions plus a Japanese one and the different characteristics of each were explained a very knowledgeable member of the team. I was also able to select a very good Montecristo No2 from the humidor. The advanced air extraction within the humidor did an excellent job of removing the smoke without removing any of the pleasure of the cigar. Following this my wife had booked a table for the evening where we were able to listen to Victoria Sharpe, have a very relaxed bottle of wine and a plate of excellent gnocchi and an impromptu couple of songs from Marcus Collins who happened to be in having a drink. Can't thanks the team there enough for making it such a memorable experience.

My husband and I visited here on Sunday and did the Whisky tasting as a birthday treat. Rather than calling it a tasting, I would say it was more of an experience. The manager James sat with us and explained each of the varieties with knowledge and expertise and we felt more like we were having some drinks with a friend, rather than being spoken to by a robot with a script. There were a huge range of cigars in the sampling lounge and we tried one also (well, when in Rome!). Having finished the experience, we moved into the main bar area and had some more drinks whilst being entertained by the live house band, who were amazing and entertaining. This place has a real grown up vibe and whilst it may not be the cheapest in town, it certainly has a huge range of rare whiskys, rums and cigars and you are paying for the surroundings and experience also. If you're looking for cheap ale and cheap facilities, this is not the place for you! However, if you want something different, to me there is nowhere else in town like it. Thank you James and staff for making my husband's afternoon (and mine) so very special. We can't wait to visit again.

Tried this place on Saturday, as recommended to us. WOW it's a great place, Jazz bar which has the feel and atmosphere of a Jazz Bar. Only stayed for a few drinks but will definitely be back again. Loved it and was gutted to leave. Cocktails, whiskey's very very nice and great staff. Loved this place. Please keep the riff raff out as this is what makes it really nice ... no scally's etc. Loved it here.

Visited here last night for the first time, loved it. Was exactly what Liverpool needed, select, classy and authentic. I just hope it remains exclusive. Food was good too.

I loved this place everything was brilliant and the service impeccable .. the young lady who served us with our first drink and took our order was lovely sorry I didn't get her name. Everything about it made you feel special, the drinks where amazing, the food was beautiful. The singer was great it was a very relaxing atmosphere and nothing was to much trouble. Will be going back soon

Delicious meal here. Started with the caviar and a bottle of veuve. Then had the bouillabaisse ( needed more saffron ) with a crisp Sancerre and ended with the fillet steak and a glass of macallan 18

Was taken to this hidden gem by a friend and was slightly concerned as I’m not a cigar guy but was amazed by the style and class of the place which was matched only by the wonderful staff. Very relaxed and enjoyable ambiance. Great music in the main bar and a great choice of drinks. Spotless and I really can’t fault it. I’ll be back.

Went here after the Liverpool comic con and finished our day off a treat! Staff are fantastic and the atmosphere is amazing. I am not a whiskey drinker as such nor am I a smoker but myself and 4 others had a master class on whiskeys and cigars and enjoyed some excellent Scottish whiskey and Davidoff cigars. Felt like we were in a time warp! Great experience. Got to sit at the amazing bar for an hour and listened to the brilliant live music making the place even more chilled. What an experience! Will be back very soon.

Booked a table through the website as advised, they rang to confirm on the day which was nice. On the whole the experience was amazing from start to finish, the atmosphere is intimate and relaxed, the food was phenomenal, the whiskey/cigar selection was beautiful and the staff knowledge on such products was very impressive, the staff were friendly and attentive. On the whole it was a little hidden gem that we will definitely be returning too. This is the kind of place that you cannot simply go once...excellent place.

Visited the Puffin rooms for food and cocktails. Couldn’t fault it , the staff were lovely and the food was first class. We ended the evening in the taster bar where you have an extensive choice of cigars and whiskeys.....fab. The live music was an excellent added bonus. Will definitely be making a return visit.

I can honestly say this is an amazing secret gem in Liverpool. This imwas our first trip to Liverpool to catch up with old friends who are regulars. We spent a Friday evening drinking & listening to a wonderful singer and talented pianist . This is the perfect venue to kick back chill out and chat. The service from start to finish was flawless and all staff are equally adorable and incredibly friendly. Daniel was very interesting to talk to during my friends ciggie breaks and I will make sure I watch the documentary in August.

Were almost regulars here now. There isn't a better restaurant in the country. Giada looked after us tonight and gave us exceptional service as always. This place is hard to get a booking for an it's no surprise as to why. The food we had this evening (beef fillet, goats cheese, cod lentils) was perfect as always. How the chef doesn't have his own cook book or TV show is beyond me. Thanks puffin rooms for being in our lives.

I can honestly say this is my favourite place in Liverpool we spent a Sunday evening with food and drinks listening to the most wonderful singer. After the marathon this was a perfect venue to kick back and chill out. I had some email correspondence from James confirming our reservation and the service from start to finish was flawless. Our waiter was equally adorable and incredibly friendly.

Making contact via phone with the Puffin Rooms is quite difficult to book a table. Having completed details on their website and left a voice mail. I ended up receiving 4 calls and an email that went into my junk folder! The table was booked for 8 and with no time limit on the table we made the most of the cocktails! If you have your favourite Cocktail and it’s not on the list you just have to ask and they will make anything you desire!

Came here on a Saturday evening with some friends - we wanted to head into the cigar area but it was fully booked so make sure you book in advance!! Drinks are pricey but the service and atmosphere was really good. Will come back to try the cigars!

An Amazing Evening in this, which I would like to call a boutique restaurant, because of its quirkiness.

Six by Nico offers a great concept. The food was very good let down by the poor level of service. The staff were all friendly and helpful, I refer to the organisation of food leaving the kitchen which
