Liverpool's restaurant-in-the-sky?

Question

Next to St John's Market is a tall tower with a revolving restaurant and a radio station at the top. In what year was it built? Thanks.

Answer 1

Here's the Wiki page, I can remember everyone saying there was a fire and that's why it closed but seemingly not.



It's a landmark for navigating around Liverpool town centre if you're not too sure of your bearings !

Answer 2

Revolving Restaurant Liverpool

Answer 3

the Blakes restaurant in Hard Days night is actually quite good for a start. If you're completely loaded - try Panoramic - at the top of Beetham West Tower (you need to book ages in advance) very posh nosh and a fantastic view over the city. Also down by the docks the Malmaisson's brasserie is quite good. Near where you're staying - La Vina does good tapas - piccolino's is good Itallian and there's actually a really good Thai just opposite your hotel. Would also reccomend Zeligs in the new liverpool One complex - Itallian/American fare - usually with live music. Booking advised. Other top end restaurants include 60 Hope street and the london Carriage Works - both on Hope Street up by the Cathedrals.

Answer 5

I'm afraid I'm far too young to remember it as anything other than the Radio City Tower, me old son, but, (according to my ex-girlfriend's dad), it was built sometime during about the early or mid Sixties. I would've loved to've gone up there when it was a restaurant, though, although, revolving? I think that might've knocked me a bit bloody sick, to be quite honest with you, old son! It would've been quite pricey, when it was a restaurant an' all, I should imagine, mate!

Answer 6

66 i think - the restaurant closed a long time ago and it is host to Radio City now.

(I did go there as a child and it was always difficult to find your way back to your table when you came out from the loo - cos it had moved around a bit.)



St John's Beacon is it's name.



If you want a restaurant in the sky now - try panoramic

Answer 7

I don't think there is a restaurant there now. In any event it had a reputation of overpriced and poor quality meals.

opened by the Queen in 1969

Answer 8

Yes it was about 65-66,great views but the restaurant wasnt that good,if my memory serves me right.

Answer 9

Answer 10
