10 Best Breweries in Prescot

"Home to the Ginsmiths of Liverpool, head down to Love Lane Brewery in the Baltic Triangle to sample some of the finest gin around. Choose from a Dry Gin, Merchant Navy Gin, Marshmallow Gin or a range of cocktails in the huge venue. They also do distillery tours so you can see how the gin gets made in house!"

"If you care about craft beer, you care about the process of it being made. Love Lane Brewery is a Liverpool bar that lets you enjoy your drink right in the heart of it all with an on-site brewery and kitchen. With delicious meals and an open layout, there's nothing to close you off to this awesome spot."

"Although these guys have been knocking about since 2015, they are but a matter of days into celebrating the launch of their brand new brewery and tap room. Black Lodge is a small batch brewery with experimentation and beer-based alchemy at its heart. Showcasing an ever-changing line up of both local and international brews, this is the place to come if you want to dabble in something a little bit different."

"The Liverpool brewery has helped get us through the past few months with their beer deliveries but nothing quite beats a refreshing pint of craft beer out in the sunshine. Black Lodge Brewery is back pulling pints, plus they’ll be serving some damn good burgers and buffalo wings too. Black Lodge Brewery, 3 Kings Dock Street, L1 8JU"

"I know this list is based around what and where to eat in Liverpool, but I thought I’d mention this just because of how popular it is. Pretty much everywhere you go these days you can find somewhere selling craft beer, and Liverpool’s not really any different. We’ve got lots of places for a good drink, but the Cains Brewery seems to be the favorite of just about everyone in Liverpool at the minute."

"It's one of the most up-and-coming areas in the city and it's easy to see why when you wander around. There is a whole host of new bars, pubs and venues open across the village which was once derelict for many years. On a hot day, all the venues put out seating outside, including the Peaky Blinders bar and the Baltic Market."

"Another must-visit in the Cains Brewery Village, this alehouse is the very definition of a hidden gem. The Brewery Tap was bought by Mikhail Hotel, who wanted ‘in’ on the bright future of the happening brewery village. It’s the perfect place to head for a hoppy pale ale."

"Unusually colourful (its orange banquettes and Perspex back-bar give it a look of a 1980s Top of the Pops set), this Dale Street tap-house serves a mix of quality guest beers (Wild Beer, Mikeller, Burning Sky), and Beatnikz’ hop-forward brews, such as I Smash Citra and Generation IPA. The weekday cask ale deals are notable (recently pie ‘n’ a pint £5, Mon/Tues), as is Beatnikz’s ability to bag high-profile guests for its meet-the-brewer events. For instance Arbor Ales and US star Modern Times. Pint from £3.70, beatnikzrepublic.com"

"Beatnikz microbrewery is located in a railway arch in the Green Quarter, and their taproom used to be too. But they closed it last year and moved to a shiny new bar in the Northern Quarter where they’ve just introduced a beer slushie machine. Head in to enjoy their core range of beers."

"For lunch with a view of Liverpool’s famous waterfront, Brasco Lounge is a dog-friendly venue suitable for everyone’s tastes – not least because of their speciality vegan and gluten-free menus. The restaurant provides burgers, hotdogs and tapas including salt and pepper squid, patatas bravas and chorizo tacos, all in an eclectic interior covered in paintings. Mann Island Buildings, 27a Buildings, Liverpool Waterfront, L3 1BP"

"Brasco Lounge is right on Liverpool’s Waterfront and is the perfect location to enjoy views of The Mersey with a stack of pancakes. Head down for some of their triple-stacked buttermilk pancakes and choose from berry compote, banana and Greek Yoghurt or bacon and maple syrup. For something a little different why not try their Halloumi and Sweetcorn pancakes for a bit of a savoury twist."

"Brasco Lounge is located just opposite Museum of Liverpool just by the Alberts Docks. This cute place seats 80 people in a cool atmosphere and serves a great selection of tapas. It is perfect if you just want something to nibble on or a proper meal alike."

"Onward and upward to The Shipping Forecast where you’ll find a trendy stripped back venue waiting to serve you a pint or two from the ever-changing assortment of real ale treats on tap. From popular favourites like the juiciest of Elvis Juice to lesser-known tipple from the furthest corners of the beer producing globe. At Shipping Forecast most things will always stay the same like the great atmosphere, great live music and fabulous food, but one thing is guaranteed to change every time you go in and that’s the choice of ales on tap!"

"Let us know a little more about your city and post-lockdown party plans and you'll be in with the chance of bagging yourself dinner, drinks and a stylish new outfit."

"The second venue from the team behind The Italian Club, The Italian Club Fish serves all your favourite pastas but with seafood as the star of the show. It’s the perfect place to go if you’re a lover of fish because you know they’re going to do it justice. View this post on Instagram"

"This cosy restaurant is a slightly higher priced offering but you know you get the quality. This reviewer tried the half lobster with Spaghetti Alla Chitarra for a delightful dish reminiscent of the Azzuro region of Italy. View the menu at ItalianClub.com"

"A family-run restaurant, The Italian Club Fish merges Mediterranean seafood with traditional British fish and chips. With a focus on fresh produce, the menu pays homage to the family's Italian heritage, and places a wealth of Italian seafood…"

"San Carlo is an award-winning, elegant Italian restaurant which has been here on Castle Street long before it became a popular dining district. With amazing seafood and authentic Italian dishes from pizzas, pastas to steak and lobster, San Carlo is a special experience. Of all the Castle Street restaurants and bars San Carlo is an institution!"

"San Carlo is the perfect restaurant for high-end Italian dining. The restaurant itself is contemporary in feel, with a bright and sleek look creating an unbeatable atmosphere for relaxed dinners and special occasions. At San Carlo, the focus is on the quality of the food."

"For more incredible Italian dishes then have a look at the menu at San Carlo. Their Summer menu is full of fresh pasta, meats, pizzas, steaks and fish dishes for you to try."
