PanAm

We went there just for a bottle of champagne on celebrating a friend’s birthday. We just went in and ordered a bottle of champagne and had a conversation after a post –exhibition coffee and cake break at Tate Liverpool.
Not much can be commented on the service wise. The best part of this place is the view since it overlooks the Albert Docks. The Museum and Liverpool, Open Eye gallery and three graces are also can be seen when sitting inside Pan-​Am.
We chose to sit on one of the booths, which seems a bit too old and requires a bit renovation.

I ate here on a Saturday lunch time with 2 friends, after wandering around the docks for a while trying to find somewhere we all fancied. After figuring out that there was a much lighter area facing on to the water, we sat ourselves down in a booth and studied the menu. Myself and one of my friends went for the Veggie Sub and my other friend chose the Meatball Sub. We ordered at the bar and the bar maid was friendly enough and the prices fairly reasonable.
I liked the food — the sweet potato fries were really good and the filling of the sub was enjoyable. The only thing I would say as a negative was that the bread was a little dry at the ends but overall I’d say it was pretty average pub grub — I’d go back.

If you cherish the idea of paying high prices for a meal in a sticky-​floored, vodka-​red-​bull scented atmosphere, PanAm will be right up your street. Assuming you’re also a fan of sub-​par food (our bread was clearly stale and reheated, with the Caesar salad consisted of not much more than a pile of lettuce and mayo). Plenty of far nicer, and better priced, places around the rest of Albert Dock.

We did not come here at night for drinks, but a quick bite to eat for lunch. This place wrecks of urine. I’m sorry, but the decent quality taste of the food does not do justice of how much this place smells. Not only does it smell, but it is also dirty. Our tables were full of dust. Overall the place did not look clean. On top of that when my friends and I went to go up and order, we did not have the friendliest staff serve us. When my friend went to go up to get her water cup, it had a HUGE lipstick stain on it. The condiments on our table were all expired as well. I went to go look at the other tables for more condiments and they were expired as well.
For our meal, we ordered some kind of pasta, 2 pork loin sandwiches, and the duck wrap. It was alright. It was decently made. But to me, the service is what makes a restaurant more than 3 stars. Overall, not a good experience. My friends and I will always refer to bad stench as PanAm.

PanAm is a typically classy bar situated within the docks area which also serves up tasty and mouth watering food. It is an upmarket establishment which attracts some upmarket people who all know good food and good drink and this is exactly what is served up at this restaurant.
In terms of professionalism and aesthetics this place is sensational and a great place to spend time in both eating drinking and socialising. That is what is so special about the docks its ability to build a community atmosphere and allow people to relax and really let their hair down but in very classy surroundings.
The menu at this establishment is fantastic and mainly because of the choice and variety of foods on offer which is a mix of both contemporary and traditional styles as well as British and European foods. It can take a while to decide on your meal but that just means more time spent in this fantastic bar and eatery.

To celebrate the completion of the first year of university, our department organised a glamorous masquerade ball here in Pan Am, the host of MTV Awards after party, it was considered good enough for UoL’s English students! The event was fantastic, with liberal offerings of canapés and cocktails and impeccable service. My only criticism is the music; I can’t recall music throughout the evening, only near the end by which point many guests had moved on to livelier venues. Perhaps PanAm charged for music and the budget of the English Society would not stretch; it had after all spent generously on sustenance and setting, and what a beautiful setting it is. Pan Am recognizes the history of this Grade I listed building and utilizes the original interior features: the stone floor, and exposed brickwork and numerous cast iron columns are visible throughout, while the fashionable soft furnishings and quirky rest rooms bring the place into the 21^st century. The view across the illuminated Albert Dock that evening was just stunning and, together with the terrific evening (and probably a few cocktails) made several students confess their contentment with choosing the city of Liverpool for their university studies.

We had our English Ball here, so all glammed up, best frock and all the boys suited and booted, off we strolled, (tottering along the cobbles to the Docks) We had an amazing time, PanAm was hired out especially for us, the canapes which they prepared were delish, I can only hope that the food is as sumptuous in main meal size!
Tip: They do much better offers on food at lunch time if you want to treat yourself at a reduced price.
The cocktails were gorgeous and we got extras which is always a bonus! The bar staff were real pros and to top it all off, the spangly electric-​lit night view across the Docks out of the full glass windows is a beautiful accompaniment to the interior ambiance and a bellisimo strawberry daiquiri. Stay Classy PanAm.

Pan-​American or Pan-​Am is a bar-​restaurant in my favourite Albert Dock in close proximity to the big wheel. Despite being part of the merseyside taste accreditation scheme, being open till late all week, It is more of a destination bar which offers food rather than the other way around.
Having said that they do have lots of food offers on, including their own loyalty card. There is also 50% off the A La Carte menu if you print off one of the vouchers from their website.
If you are looking to play out on a school night this is a good option as it is open until 2am every night. They also have comedy nights and live music, as well as your run of the mill nights where you can boogey to some of the latest tunes. Perfect for post and pre concert drinks and bite to eat. So next time you are at the Echo give it a try…
