As Liverpool’s only purpose built comedy venue, Hot Water Comedy Club is the place where you’ll find live a good laugh 7 nights a week; come rain, some shine. It’s an independent comedy club in the Ropewalks areas of the city, run by two brothers, which originally began as a weekly comedy night to round off the weekend on a high, and it grew from there."

"Liverpool Comedy Cellar has been voted the best venue in Liverpool by The Guardian – which considering the number of incredible venues in the city is some accolade!. This comedy venue specialises in bringing only the best line-ups to the city every Saturday night and boasts an impressive number of sell-out shows in its history.

"One of the best outdoor restaurants in Manchester, The Ape & Apple is an ideal pitstop after a long day of exploring the city. With friendly locals, monthly-changing ales and a secret terrace out the back, this place ticks all of our alfresco dining boxes."
"One of the first places to open up in the now uber-trendy Northern Quarter the Frog and Buckets plays host to Manchester's longest-running comedy club. Not only some fantastic homegrown talent, but comedy greats also pass through from all over the world. There are two opportunities every week to enjoy a giggle, their 'Barrel of Laughs' night and also their open mic night 'Beat the Frog'."
"Set in the iconic Midland Hotel, the cosy booths, stylish décor and relaxed atmosphere of The French by Simon Rogan makes for an opulent date night. Worthy of any special occasion, quality food is at the heart of this operation with meticulously crafted tasting menus. The French’s absent Michelin star is well documented, but the infamous missing star isn’t all bad - diners can experience Michelin standard food without the waiting lists and price tag."
"Adam Reid at The French is one of the city's top fine dining restaurants, boasting an array of awards from 4AA Rosettes to multiple inclusions in The Good Food Guide. The chef, a Manchester native, likes to put a twist on modern British food across a choice of four, six or nine courses."
"The Midland Hotel, 16 Peter Street, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M60 2DS. Adam Reid has kept The French at the top of Manchester’s restaurant tree for many years, and while the grand dining room is opulent, the vibe feels less formal and the food continues to impress."
"18/05/2021: Stingiest portion of chips ever was less than a child’s portion!. Literally weighed them out in their palm - when I complained said it was portion control???. It’s a chippy not slimming world!!"
"And on the fourth week of lockdown, KFC decided to reopen some stores for delivery. A huge sigh of relief was felt all around. It may have put an end to some unwanted flashbacks of when KFC ran out of chicken in 2018… Either way, it’s back to deliver some cluckin’ good chicken for hungry isolators."
"KFC has remained one of the best southern fried chicken restaurants in the world for more than 60 years. Serving up burgers, wraps, buckets and more, KFC remains one of Manchester Fort’s favourite restaurants for…"
"What: One of the first ports of call for young Mancunians when the sun shines, lively Dukes 92 is often packed to the rafters on a blistering summer’s day. The expansive canal-side terrace is where to soak up some rays, enjoying cocktails or plates from Duke’s globe-trotting menu. Options include steaks served alongside skinny fries and peppercorn sauce or a lamb and halloumi salad, while ending with the chocolate volcano (pudding with a gooey fondant center) is a must."
"Located next to the canal off Castle Street, Dukes 92 is the perfect place to go for outdoor dining. Not only is the view charming and relaxing, but the food isn’t half bad either. And if you don’t manage to wrangle any friends for dinner, you are free to bring your dog to sit with you on the terrace!"
