Best & Cool Bars in Anderton

"Mayur Patel’s family has been cooking some of Britain’s best meat-free Gujarati food for several decades at Prashad restaurant in West Yorkshire. The Bundobust co-owner continues that work in this basement canteen on Piccadilly, where next-level chaat, chole saag, tarka dal, vada pav (the Indian veggie burger) and Bundo’s own bhaji butty are served in street food-style pots alongside A1 craft beers. Bundobust’s taps now feature hazy pale Peela and chai porter Chaitro – the first releases from its new brewery on Oxford Road, which should open to the public in late August."

"Bundobust is many things (craft beer haunt, Indian street food hangout, veggie restaurant) but it sells itself as a ‘beer and Indian joint’. The basement bar is filled with casual, communal tables that encourage interaction with fellow punters, and has a relaxed order-at-the-bar system that keeps the crowd mingling. The food menu is all about vegetarian Indian street food."

"Decked out with kitsch Bollywood paraphernalia, join one of the long, shared dining tables in Bundobust’s basement dining room and prepare for an Indian street food feast. It’s hard to go wrong with the menu - but the Vada Pav burger was recently listed among the best in the world, and it's on the menu for just £5. 61 Piccadilly, Manchester M1 2AG / bundobust.com"

"Set in the elegant Georgian Quarter of Liverpool, this street-side bistro has a European vibe reminiscent of Parisian cafes and Italian coffee shops – perfect for a lazy Sunday morning brunch. Located on Falkner Street, The Quarter offers all the classic hot brunch dishes you’d expect, but adds their ‘Usuals’ to the list – why not try banana on toast with peanut butter or ‘Eggs on fire’ (sriracha scrambled eggs with cream cheese on a brioche bun)?. With a backdrop of stunning buildings, this is a Instagram-friendly brunching spot near the University area of the city, making it ideal for students looking to show their parents the highlights of the city when they visit."

"The Falkner Street favourite is an Italian-inspired restaurant which offers sharing boards, pasta, pizza, decadent desserts plus a deli. In a recent post on Instagram, The Quarter confirmed its plans to reopen and said: "Yes, it’s true! The terrace is opening!. "We’re now open for bookings from April 12th for al fresco dining on the Toxteth Riviera"

"The Toxteth Riviera is always a gorgeous place to be, any time of the year, and now thanks to The Quarter on Falkner Street you can stay warm while you make the most of it. Those outside tables are some of the most sought-after in the city, so be lucky and grab one and heaters mean you’ll be toasty while you eat and drink."

"Set in the Royal Albert Docks in Liverpool, Gusto has the décor of every cool and contemporary restaurant in the city. With exposed brick and cast iron pillars, it may sound cliché but given its location, the original décor adds an authenticity to the restaurant. Food-wise, bruschetta, sea bream with samphire and a selection of pizzas are just a few of the things you’ll find on the menu."

"For authentic Italian cuisine, Gusto Albert Dock is available on Deliveroo, serving up fresh pasta, succulent burgers and 24-hour sourdough pizzas inspired by trips to Naples; the perfect comfort food. View this post on Instagram. Date night doesn't have to be cancelled."

"An obvious choice for a drink in Liverpool and steeped in musical history Cavern Club is a no-brainer when it comes to catching a little live music in the city. On Sunday’s, as with any other day of the week, The Cavern Club both have a variety of live music performances. Most are in the rock n roll genre and can range from relaxed acoustic sessions to Merseybeat covers and Beatles tributes."

"You can't come to Liverpool without heading to Mathew Street to see the famous Cavern Club. Either stand in front of the legendary sign to grab your picture or head down into the basement to recreate the swinging 60s. View this post on Instagram"

"This is where the Fab 4 (The Beatles!) used to drink between gigs at the Cavern Club. Plan to stay:2-3 hours"

"The Coach House Inn claim to ensure the best for their guests. They carefully select their drinks, which range from wines, gins, beers and much more in order to provide the best product they can. Although it is in the city centre, this bar is ideal for those who prefer a more relaxed environment to drink in."

"This historic coaching inn, dating from 1840, has long been at the heart of Chester’s guesthouse scene. But new-look rooms and a location right at the heart of the city’s new cultural district means that the old lady is back in vogue once more."

"We’re happy to give St John’s Gardens top marks for looks - after all, they’re meticulously kept, lined with a series of pretty walls and dotted with all kinds of lovely statues and flowerbeds - but the inner city location and relatively modest size mean it can seem a bit cramped (there's also something a bit wrong about cracking open a can of lager 50 feet from a dual carriageway). Still, it's great for a quick walk around."

"If you’re around the St George’s Plateau then head round the back to chill out in St John’s Gardens. The garden, which is part of the William Brown Street conservation area, has been a Green Flag site since 2003 and contains ornamental flower beds and various memorials to notable people in the city. A great spot to soak up the rays."

"Tucked away down a side street, The Kazimier Garden is a trendy, independent outdoor bar that boasts an unrivalled atmosphere with fairy lights, plants, and a great variety of beer and fine wines from a local wine merchant. Perfect in summer or winter (they have blankets, mulled wine and outdoor heaters!), The Kazimier Garden is a cosy escape from the busy city streets, bringing people together with events ranging from live music and BBQs to vintage fairs and parties. The Kazimier Garden is an essential for any visit to Liverpool, whether it’s winter or summer, for an Insta-worthy pic!"

"Kazimier Garden is a real little oasis in the middle of the city. It has a great Caribbean vibe to it, so it's perfect if you want a bit of character in your watering hole. There's a great selection of drinks on offer that vary from season to season too, and it's also a regular host of top quality entertainment."

"Kazimier Garden on Seel Street is another hidden gem not to miss, blink and you’ll miss the cool little walled garden serving cold pints with amazing music and the perfect summer atmosphere. View this post on Instagram. A post shared by Kazimier Garden (@kazimiergarden)"

"This is the area on top of Liverpool One and is great to visit in the sun. Being so high up you get a great view down into the modern shopping centre and out towards the docks area on the Mersey, as well as being able to walk through a garden area to get some nice floral shots. They have seasonal events at the park such as a beach in the summer and Christmas stalls in the winter."

"Head over to Liverpool ONE to chill out on Chavasse Park after an afternoon of shopping. This city centre green space is is the perfect location to hang out on the grass, grab a drink in one of the overlooking bars or head to one of the many events that happen on the lawn.

"If you’re living in Kensington or campus halls of residence, this one may be ideal for you if you’re fancying a stroll away from the craziness of your flatmates, even just to clear your head for a while. While perhaps not the biggest or best park on this list, Wavertree Botanic Gardens is a hidden gem on the way out of Liverpool, just next to the innovation park, and just a 20-minute walk from the campus. In first year, I found an early morning walk to the botanic gardens the perfect way to start my day when I needed motivating."

"Head to the Botanical Garden in the Baltic Triangle for some gin garden selfies when it opens in March. Sit on one of the benches or the grass bleachers and enjoy a gin cocktail in the glorious sunshine. If the weather takes a bit of a turn jump into the shed to keep yourself out of the rain."

"A seasonal pop-up bar that specialises in gin cocktails, this is one of the city's coolest summer bars. There's a fine selection of beers if you prefer, and a kitchen that serves excellent Mexican food; in rainy..."

"The working people of Macclesfield pooled together to raise funds for this park next to the town centre. West Park opened in 1854 and provided an oasis of greenery for people who would spend up to 70 hours a week toiling in the mills. Now it’s a well-appointed urban space with a playground, skate park and florid ornamental gardens."
