About Red Dog Saloon Liverpool
Bold Street doesn't do many rooms with a live band downstairs and brisket this good upstairs. On a busy Saturday night, expect a wait before being seated — booking ahead saves the hassle. The smoked brisket is what people come back for: tender, properly flavoured, nothing like the dry versions that pass elsewhere. The buffalo wings have their own following too, and the sharing platters are sized so generously that taking a box home is standard practice, not an exception. Live music runs on weekend evenings and the staff — Carolina, Millie, Alvaro and Chris have all been called out by name in recent weeks — bring a warmth that makes the place feel looked after. The country-saloon fit-out gives it a character Bold Street's other dining rooms don't really attempt.

Staff attentiveness
Carolina, Millie, Alvaro and Chris are named individually across five recent reviews for being polite, efficient, cheerful and kind; one reviewer called their server 'the best I think I've ever had.'
