Best & Cool Bars in Ince-in-Makerfield

"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."

"Indian street food and craft beer bar Bundobust is a shining gem amongst the restaurant chains of Piccadilly Gardens. Venture down its wooden stairway and you’ll be met with a sprawling food hall, complete with casual canteen-style benches and a glorious glass skylight. Don’t expect a typical Indian menu though."

"Cobbled streets and Georgian Townhouse splendour, breakfast alfresco and with views over the cathedral. If you’re not already sold on The Quarter, then perhaps it’s food will convince you. An Italian inspired independent, we’re talking freshly baked pastries, smoothie bowls, freshly brewed coffee and the usuals, pancakes, poached eggs and peanut butter on toast."

"Not only does The Quarter serve some of the best food in the city, their outdoor seating area is one of the prettiest. Relax in the surroundings of The Georgian Quarter and you might just forget you’re in Liverpool."

"Book your table for The Quarter and enjoy lunch on the cobbled streets of the beautiful Georgian Quarter. Their beautiful menu is perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner or just a drink. View this post on Instagram"

"Another Albert Dock favourite Gusto has confirmed its plans to reopen next month. In a post on Instagram, the restaurant, which specialises in fresh food made from scratch, said: "All being well, it’s officially one month until we open our outdoor dining areas in Liverpool & Cheadle Hulme. We can't tell you how excited we are to serve you your Gusto favourites once again. "Have you booked your table yet?"

"This restaurant and bar is a distinguished part of the Royal Albert Dock and guarantees an authentic Italian experience. With the motto “Con Amici” (which means eating with friends) and a wide variety of food and drink choices, this restaurant can quickly become your friends and family’s food home. Gusto is currently open, with limited spacing, hours and maintaining social distancing guidelines."

"The Cavern Club is infamous in the music scene as the home of The Beatles during their early years. The Cavern Club originally opened in 1957 as a jazz club and quickly became the hub of rock and roll during the 1960s. John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison each played here with other bands before forming The Beatles."

"Famous as the stage where the Beatles made their debut in 1961, Liverpool’s Cavern Club has become a place of legend, hosting not only the Fab Four, but the Who, the Kinks, the Rolling Stones, Queen, Elton John, and many more household names. The influential club remains one of Liverpool’s top live music venues to this day."

"Another must-visit for any Beatles fanatic is The Cavern Club on Mathew Street. Though the Club isn’t the original Cavern, it’s still an incredibly popular tourist attraction and is home to a wealth of memorabilia. Bands also play here on a daily basis."

"But head to Remedy in the morning begore gin o’clock and you will be greeted by a bank of amazing handmade cakes – all to be enjoyed with an amazing coffee. Did you know they do take away?. Break the habit of grabbing your pre-work caffeine fix from the same old chain across the road – Remedy will see you right (We’re all about keeping it independent after all)."

"Okay, when we think "Remedy", we think "gin" - but it does breakfast, too - honest!. The coffee is incredible and the bacon butties are not too shabby either."

"Half gin distillery, half swanky bar – Turncoat is the place to go if you’re a fan of gin, food, outdoor dining, or all of the above.

"The popular distillery will be open every day from 12pm until 10pm with extended seating to accommodate punters.

On Instagram, the venue said: "As the sun comes out hopefully our great G&Ts will follow"

"Tucked away in the suburbs of Withington is a fun little vegetarian restaurant called Fuel Café. Along with serving some of the best cheap vegan eats in Manchester, the spot hosts regularly live music nights, performances, and even has board games to keep you entertained."

"This powerful jalapenoi-packed hot dog, complete with roast tomato and garlic salsa with cheddar and caramelised onions, is a triumph.
