Best & Cool Bars in Upholland

"In February 2020 BC (before Covid) we got all excited with a visit to their about-to-open second Manchester branch on Oxford Road but it remains closed as we pine for a cold beer and a hot bhaji on a long table more than ever. We’ll have to make do with Deliveroo for now. It’s all veggie, as existing fans will know, but vegans have plenty to love from the iconic vada pav to the famous broccoli, kale and onion bhajis."

"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"

"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."

"The Quarter Liverpool is a fantastic quaint takeaway deli in the Georgian Quarter, close enough to most of the major hotels in the city. If you’re stopping over in the city nearby then you should definitely come here to fill up on a fabulous breakfast or brunch (with veggie options too!) to get you ready for the rest of the day ahead!. Check out some of the Liverpool events to know about throughout the year."

"Family-run deli-restaurant The Quarter offers breakfast, lunch and dinner and they even do home deliveries. So there’s really no excuse for not trying out this Italian restaurant. You’ll almost certainly be able to smell the delicious food from The Quarter before you see it as they also offer a range of fresh homemade bread and pastries to buy."

"For breakfast, brunch or lunch with a view of Liverpool’s beautiful Georgian Quarter then the Quarter is a must. Serving up full english breakfasts, pancakes, pizza, pastas and an impressive wine menu, it’s the perfect place to chill out. View this post on Instagram"

"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."

"We can’t really make a list of the best pubs in Liverpool without featuring one of the most famous clubs in the world, can we?. In 1957 the Cavern Club opened its doors on Mathew Street, and it didn’t take long until rock ‘n’ roll took over!. From the Beatles to Oasis to Stevie Wonder, musical legends have won crowds over at this funky little venue."

"Whether you’re a Beetles fan or not, the Caven Club should be on everyone’s must-visit attractions list. Head to The Cavern Club for true Liverpudlian music experience. The iconic cellar has seen seven incredible decades of music; from The Beatles’ first performance on 9th February 1961 to the Arctic Monkeys pre-breakthrough gig in October 2005."

"A hidden gem on Castle Street, descend into the basement of The Underground Gin Society and enjoy some of the best gin-based cocktails in Liverpool. Combining the most delicious world gins with unbelievable garnishes and flavours, this cocktail bar is a favourite with the local workers. With a relaxed ‘after work feel’ before 8pm and an upbeat and vibrant vibe past 9pm."

"Enter into the basement of the Underground Gin Society on Castle Street for a G&T or cocktail. Expect to find world gins combined with unbelievable garnishes, flavours and tonics alongside the best local Dj’s - there’s bound to be a party going on down there. View this post on Instagram"

"Head downstairs to Underground Gin Society on Castle Street and check out hundreds of different Gin & Tonic combinations. We’re loving the look of this Whitley Neil Rhubarb & Ginger Gin with Cherry Blossom tonic!. A great gin den with fab drinks offers on every week."

"Ok, not a club but this cultural institution and home to The Smiths Disco is a right of passage for any student living in the city and arguably the best night in Manchester. Rest assured, this club night will defo have you fretting about the fact that you haven’t got a stitch to wear. If you don’t get this reference maybe it is time to move to the next club…"

"Subroasa in the Baltic Triangle are opening their brand new venue on 12 April, perfect for enjoying a drink with your group of 6. View this post on Instagram. A post shared by Sub rosa (@subrosaliverpool)"

Displaying a range of contemporary art, exhibits, and art installations, Tate Liverpool has been home to the lives of Kandinsky, Haring, and Warhol. Discover the highlights of the constellations and modern art and with free entry, this museum is an absolute must."

Reopening is being planned for May 17."

Throughout the year there are new exhibitions exploring different stories, events and peoples experiences. The kids will enjoy getting hands-on in the TimeShack where they will find object handling sessions and storytelling sessions, and also getting creative in the Learning Studio where they can make something craft to take home!"

"The Imperial War Museum North is another Salford attraction that’s most definitely worth a visit. It’s within walking distance of The Lowry so you could easily combine the two for a day out in Greater Manchester. The focus of the museum is modern conflicts and the building itself was designed to purposefully confuse and unsettle visitors through illogical angles and leaning floors."

"Bon Pan Asian on Clayton Square is in a prime location, not too far from plenty of bars in the city centre so you can really make a night of your visit!. With a banquet of over 150 dishes freshly prepared using the finest ingredients, Bon Pan offers a great vibe combining a relaxed yet stylish environment. Their food ranges from salad, sushi, robata grill, curry, pizza, teppanyaki and loads more delicious starters, mains and desserts."
