RIBA North West Reviews

The exhibition is a little limited at the moment but the cafe is awesome!

Nice cafe, recommended visit to the museum and surroundings.

Beautifully curated exhibitions and a small gift shop.

A small but well designed museum on architecture. It is RIBA's North West Centre and has exhibitions on Liverpool's old and more new architecture. Just the building and design of the museum is worth going to see. I was amazed by how much I got from a relatively small place.

Interesting to view the current Sterling prize shortlist submissions, although I was the only visitor.

Good free exhibition place for anybody interested in architecture or design in general. Nice design led small shop downstairs!

Great facility and to have a @riba presence in the city

Took the children to a clay modelling event and they were made to feel part of something exciting. The building offered a couple of small exhibitions, a giftshop and a cafe.

We have had a wonderful time in this place. We went for the exhibition and left in a happy and inspired mood. It s free. If you are interested in architecture and design you should definitely pay it a visit.

A hidden gem with very friendly staff - 25 years of Urban Splash well worth a visit

I visit with my 9 year old there is an interactive 3d map of Liverpool buildings. We enjoy knowing more about the architecture of the city. I think will benefit of more activities apart from the expositions.

Part of the Mann Island complex, the RIBA North is a little tucked away in the rear of The Open Eye Gallery. Plenty of gallery space and a neat little shop. Current exhibit is 25 years of Urban Splash, (I am feeling so old!) which was a fabulous exhibit. The RIBA North building is worthy of a visit in its own right. And most exhibitions are totally free.

Slightly biased as I work here but there really isn't a thing wrong with this place. A great addition to Liverpool

Dock side dining club was great.. lovely gin cocktail served by matty om the bar.
our group had a bit of everything that was on offer.
Haku sushi bar was amazing, Guillermo serves fantastic quesadillas.
Our Dutch friends had the bitterballen from chip'd(a taste of home) and thoroughly enjoyed.
I got my hands dirty with the you've pulled pork and chorizo on a burger and their house slaw was delicious
We also had a thai green curry pizza from pizza co which was interesting and delicious!
There is also a traditional style cafe in there serving up classic fish chips and peas which we were also tempted by.... certainly next time!

My girls loved the lego area and the books with all the countries in was very interesting.

Great food in this place. Garlic mushrooms on sourdough toast,
with a fantastic cup of tea - lovely!

Nice cafes ans restaurants. Good place for a break after visiting Liverpool Museum and Waterfront.

Attended a very useful event and presentation from Liverpool City Council on regeneration developments.

Great exhibition space near the Albert Dock and Mersey Ferry terminsl, Liverpool Museum and St James Station. Well equipped bookshop on all matters Architechtural. Fascinating temporary exhibition looking at alternative construction material based on biomass and fungus!

Fantastic tour by Stella. Really informative and fun at the same time. Loved it, would recommend to anyone to do it

Interesting but exhibit limited on this o casino. Tea room v good.

Interesting displays but small so a stop off instead of a full afternoon activity. Worth the visit though!

Really great, just what Liverpool and the North West needed, only a shame its not bigger!

This is a really nice small exhibition space showcasing interesting architecture and giving great views of the Albert Dock area. Lovely cafe downstairs and the exhibition space is free.

Given the wealth of creative and engineering output of British architecture over the last 500 years (in Liverpool and beyond) I was hoping for something much more visual and technical. An empty gallery, a couple of dog eared books and something about hemp.
