Bangers Bar and Grill

Visited Bangers for lunch with a business associate on Tuesday at noon. It’s just a block up from Liverpool Station so an easy 2 block walk from the Underground station. The ambiance is part pub and part american power lunch, with tables adequately spaced and wood through-​out. Beers on tap were diverse and local and served in pewter mugs, but I stuck with a pint of Stella. The place was quite empty when we arrived, but by 1:15 pm it was at capacity. (lunch in U.K. usually starts at 1 pm).
I started with the Shrimp cocktail, which was a mixture of U.S. and U.K. delivery with 3 fairly large shrimp (prawns) sitting on the edge accompanied with a small pile of smaller shrimp inside the ramikin served over micro greens and U.K. shrimp sauce (more akin to thousand island dressing). All tasted fresh and accompanied by ½ lemon. My counterpart had the sauteed mushrooms that looked and tasted delightful.
For main course (entrée), I had the 300 gram ribeye steak with chips (steak fries). The steak (ordered medium) arrived more medium well, in part due that it was quite thin (from. U.S. standards), thus difficult to cook to a medium. The taste of the meat was solid and nicely aged. The chips were crisp and had a delightful taste. My counterpart had the rump steak that was fairly tender and cooked a perfect medium. Two cappuccinno’s topped the meal. With 3 pints of stella, appetizers, mains, and coffee the bill was $ 80 pound sterling about $ 125 USD. Recommend the eatery for any business occassion or happy hour.

We had a group lunch here today and I have to say we weren’t that impressed. OK there were 10 of us, but a foodie pub in the city has to be geared up to lunch bookings and the whole affair was really slow. The waiter took about 20 minutes to get our drinks out before he gave us menus, so it was half an hour before we placed our orders.
Most of us were ordering burgers and they asked the ‘how would you like your burger done?’ question, which I’m always a bit dubious about because a) it’s just a burger and b) can you really get that right for a bulk orders? What happened what the order was a bit mixed up and all the burgers were roughly the same. Only those who had ordered well done burgers basically just had medium rare burgers burned on the outside. I’m guessing they just rushed the whole thing, knowing that they were behind on the time.
Given that a drink and a burger is £15, I’d expect something a bit better. A lot of people diss Corney and Barrow, around the corner, but I’ve been there a few times for burgers and never had a problem.
On the plus side, they gave us 25% off because of the delays and problems, so obviously realised things weren’t right and they did give us a private dining space, so we could hear each other speak.

I come here for post-​work drinks every few weeks, and that’s what I like about this place.
They have this beer on tap called Old Wallop, which is served in pewter mugs and copper pitchers. Which is pretty much the coolest thing ever. Seeing them makes me want to nick one so I can tie it to my belt next to a huge dagger and my trophy heads I’ve taken from fallen enemies.
Old Wallop itself is (as it name implies) quite a strong and manly brew. And thus should be enjoyed while pounding your chest and shouting war-​cries.
Beer is a tad on the pricey side, but that’s ok since you should be coming here to celebrate victories in battle and can pay with your plunder.
I have to admit that I have not eaten here. But the food does look and smell delicious.

Whenever I’m in the City, I stop here — it’s a fun lunch spot where you can grab a pint and enjoy some bangers & mash!

Was looking for a lunch spot while visiting colleagues in the Moorgate area of London. Being told this was a pretty popular place I decided to check it out. The traditional bar décor had a really nice feel to it and in my opinion was the highlight of the place. Funny, the person who took me here was a vegetarian but the menu is primarily steak. I ordered the fillet and found it to be quite average at best and it was overcooked to boot (requested rare got medium rare). With the service not being overly warm surely there must be better places in the area. That said, if you’re looking to step away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the food was OK so this may be a good spot. I’d just recommend sticking to the fare the place is more known for such as the Bangers and Mash which is also quite a bit more easy on the pocket book.

went here for birthday. their own beers were quite nice and the food was also above the expected pun fare. can’t recall costs. décor was cool with sawdust on the floor and drinks served in tankards. still very much a quiet restaurant for lunch though. friendly waitress too.

Cellar bar/​restaurant in the city. I asked my friend to take me somewhere that wasn’t too crowded and wasn’t full of men in suits — and this was perfect. The ale was delicious and they have a really good range of wines as well. Although I didn’t eat here the food looked really good and the small menu and detailed ingredients reassures you of quality. Perfect for someone who hates the usual city/​banker/​trader/​lechy night out.
