Victorian pub on the corner of Hope Street and Hardman Street, built 1898–1900 and Grade I listed, with rooms named Brahms and Liszt.

The Philharmonic Dining Rooms stand on the corner of Hope Street and Hardman Street, opposite the Philharmonic Hall that gave them their name. The pub was built between 1898 and 1900 for the brewer Robert Cain, designed by Walter W. Thomas, and it has been Grade I listed since 1966. Inside are mosaics, copper panels, mahogany and two smaller rooms named Brahms and Liszt.

The gents' toilets, with their pink marble, are a sight in themselves. Paul McCartney played here as a young musician and came back for an impromptu concert in 2018. It is now run as a Nicholson's pub. Not for you if you want music and dancing: this is a place for a pint and a long look around.
