Liverpool's Gin Bars 🍸
"Home Sweet Home is doing half-price pancakes today, to celebrate what is 'basically their Christmas'. Their stacked pancakes - three piled on top of each other - are served with cinnamon crunch, maple syrup and whipped cream as standard. You can then add banana, Nutella and salted caramel; or fresh berries, compote and frosting."
"As the name indicates, the café is best suited to give you the perfect vibe of being at home. If you are looking for late-night coffee shops in Manchester city centre, then you are good to go here. Along with the yummy coffees, the signature dish is cheeseburger toasties."
"There’s regularly a queue stretching down the street for good reason, so make sure you arrive early on weekends as they run out of bagels fast!. With plain bagels costing £1, it’s easy to take a box of freshly baked bread away and build a bagel at home. Alternatively, The Bagelry offers a delicious range of fillings in the bagel of your choice."
"Before the arrival of The Bagelry we just felt like there was something missing in Liverpool. We can’t really explain it, there was just a certain hollow to us as we navigated our way through the labyrinth of the city. A bagel-shaped hole two best friends fulfilled a couple years ago."
"A post shared by The Bagelry (@bagelrypool) on Dec 13, 2018 at 11:38pm PST. These aren’t just your average stack."
"Everyone knows that everything Scandinavian is cool, from their lights to their murder mystery TV to, well, their weather. The Scandinavian theming of this Manchester cafe isn’t entirely clearly drawn – not sure a prosciutto and mozzarella sandwich is traditionally Scandinavian – but the laidback interior is very Scandi, as is the giant map of Iceland on the wall. Wear a heavily patterned jumper if you want to hammer home the theme."
"Pop into Takk on a weekday, and it looks like an Apple store that’s let itself go. It’s the preferred working space for media types in the Northern Quarter, a testament to its top notch offering of brews and bites. Coffee fans should also head to Takk's latest launch on Oxford Road's own indie shopping site Hatch, where where they serve brews shoulder-to-shoulder with a stellar line up of local food traders."
"TAKK is one of Manchester’s best independent coffee houses, with three spots scattered throughout the city centre. Providing locals and visitors with a warm and welcoming space to work and meet, TAKK takes its inspiration from the laid-back lifestyle in Scandinavia and Iceland. Their coffee is great, and their food is simple and delicious."
"What to expect: A vegetarian and vegan cafe in Liverpool with a bohemian atmosphere. Arguably the most established of vegetarian restaurants in Liverpool, The Egg Cafe is a go-to spot for those who love hearty veggie and vegan food with a homemade feel. The bohemian hideout can be found in a cosy loft space, perfect for a bite to eat at lunch or a spotlit dinner."
"The Egg Cafe is a Liverpool institution for vegetarians and vegans. The café serves vegan soups, daily specials, vegan spicy beanburger, salads, quiche, and more. The menu is currently being revamped."
"Liverpool’s Cat Cafe is definitely one for the cat lovers out there. Spend the afternoon enjoying a cup of coffee whilst playing with the cutest cats around as they sit on your lap, chill next to you on the sofa or play on the floor. Cats have been proven to help with all aspects of our health too so it’s the perfect way to relax and destress!"
"Liverpool’s Cat Cafe is definitely one for cat lovers however the entrance fee is a little steep. The only concession is that you don’t have to pay for drinks once inside."
"Whether you own a bar, restaurant, pub, club, private hire space, pop-up and/or run events, you can take advantage of our full suite of products. Explore one or more from the below."
"Liverpool Gin is undisputedly one of the best premium gins in the city and following its huge popularity they opened the doors to their very own chic bar. Of course stocking all their Liverpool Gin range they also have a great selection of alternative premium gins and brilliant tonics to match. Clearly if you’re a gin lover you HAVE to visit here."
"For a glass of Liverpool’s finest gin then a trip to the Liverpool Gin Distillery on Castle Street is a must. You can go simple and pick from their collection of gins for a G&T or you can go all out and try their masterclasses. Go on a distillery tour, distill your own gin or try a bit of gin tasting."
"It wouldn’t be World Gin Day without a visit to Liverpool Gin Distillery!. There’s free samples on offer plus its just £5 for double G&T’s all day and you can save on Gin Lab experiences where you can distil and personalise your very own bottle to take home!"
"If you are after some authentic Turkish cuisine then there is only one place to go in Chester, the Istanbul BBQ!. Right in the centre of Chester, this Turkish restaurant can offer you a variety of Turkish dishes that come from a huge charcoal BBQ!. Everything is prepared on site by their Turkish chefs and you can watch how they make your food with the glass surrounded BBQ which just adds to the overall feel to this place!"
"Grilled Turkish food is always good but this was delicious. And after months of lockdown, what a treat to go to a restaurant with bags of atmosphere, good food and such attentive staff."
"Why: Focusing on nutritious fare, this deli, restaurant and bar deals in saintly plates that don’t sacrifice flavour in favour of eating healthily – happily combining both. Expect feel-good food that spans dishes like chia pudding and plant-based breakfasts. There is also a build your own option that gives you a choice of toppings – from halloumi and bacon to avocado and spinach – to add to toast."
"Bringing a slice of sunny LA to Manchester, FoodWell is a unique concept restaurant based in Salford. The large warehouse space isn't just about food, though don't miss out on its all-day menu of healthy bites, as it offers experiences like reggae yoga supper clubs and sensory high teas."
"Next door to Menagerie is Food well, a Stylish High end Cocktail bar & Restaurant with (GREAT SUSHI). Turns into FIREFLY at night, more of a party vibe with a live DJ. Personally I think this place is very underrated."
"The Ale Inventory at The Botanist MediaCityUK features Munich Gold, Daura Damm, Asahi Super Dry, Hells Lager and Alhambra Reserva 1925. And on the cocktail menu, you'll find a range of inventive cocktails inspired by British flavours. Drinks include English Mojito made from Bombay Dry Gin, apple liqueur, vanilla syrup, cucumber and fresh mint with apple and lime juices; Smoked Birch Old Fashioned made from Money shoulder whisky, Freya Birch spirit, fir tree liqueur, orange bitters and demerara sugar; and Poppy and Pomegranate Martini consisting of Ciroc red berry vodka, poppy and raspberry liqueur, basil syrup, pomegranata and lemon juice."
"A ‘secret garden of food and drink’ set in the centre of MediaCityUK, The Botanist is opening its terrace for bookings and walk-ins from 15th April. From kebabs to bottomless brunches, along with gorgeous views of the Salford Quays, The Botanist has it all."
"The Botanist have a fresh new offering for brunch that you can upgrade to bottomless brunch if you would like (and what’s not to like?). You choose a dish from six different sections of the menu – each section has three options."
"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."
