The Old Bank Liverpool is a restaurant and cocktail bar at 2–8 James Street in the city centre. It occupies a restored Grade II listed bank built in the 1920s, with ornate architecture that gives the dining room a sense of occasion. The former banking hall now moves comfortably between food service, drinks, live music and late evenings.
The kitchen combines modern restaurant favourites with classic dishes connected to the local area. Light bites sit alongside substantial main meals, and roast dinners add a traditional element to the selection. The range is broad enough for a quick city centre lunch, a pre-event meal or a longer evening with several courses.
Weekend service begins earlier, making the venue suitable for daytime dining before the bar becomes busier. A mezzanine floor can be hired for private occasions, giving groups a distinct space while retaining access to the main kitchen and bar offer. Guests with allergies should discuss current ingredients and preparation with the team before ordering.
Classic and house cocktails are a prominent feature, supported by beer, wine, spirits and alcohol free choices. Regular live music adds energy to the room without obscuring the building’s historic character. The Old Bank Liverpool pairs a flexible gastro pub menu with one of James Street’s most distinctive restored interiors.
