Liverpool's hidden history that will change how you see the city
"Mayur Patel’s family has been cooking some of Britain’s best meat-free Gujarati food for several decades at Prashad restaurant in West Yorkshire. The Bundobust co-owner continues that work in this basement canteen on Piccadilly, where next-level chaat, chole saag, tarka dal, vada pav (the Indian veggie burger) and Bundo’s own bhaji butty are served in street food-style pots alongside A1 craft beers. Bundobust’s taps now feature hazy pale Peela and chai porter Chaitro – the first releases from its new brewery on Oxford Road, which should open to the public in late August."
"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"
"There's no doubt about it, walking into Bundobust is sure to bring your day an unbridled amount of joy - as well as plenty of incredible Indian dishes. Serving a creative and modern take on Indian street food, Bundobust has rapidly become a favourite in the city. And it's easy to see why."

In addition, indoor reservations for the brasserie, roof terrace and glamorous late-night restaurant and bar, Ivy Asia, will be available from 17 May."

"Located in a basement on Duke Street, Down the Hatch has been crowned Liverpool’s “dirtiest vegan junk food bunker.” Home to some of the best deep-fried food that the city has to offer, Down the Hatch takes home-cooked food and puts a junk food twist on it, that even if you’re not vegetarian, will love."

"Set on the beautiful cobbled streets of Faulkner Street in Liverpool’s quaint Georgian Quarter, this stylish eatery features perfect executions of Bruncher favourites including one of the finest veggie breakfasts in the city. If the weather is permitting, try and get an outdoor seat and enjoy fantastic views of the nearby Anglican Cathedral."
"The Quarter can be found on Faulkner Street, in the heart of the beautiful Georgian Quarter. This Italian inspired restaurant manages to create a laid back, yet bustling atmosphere. Pizza and pasta dishes are it’s focal point as you’d expect from any good Italian, but there’s plenty on the menu to keep everyone happy."
"Time Out says: “Its menu offers the likes of fresh stonebaked pizzas, mezze-style grazing dishes and sharing boards that are so good you won’t actually want to share. “Try to save room for dessert – their ice cream sundaes (including vegan options) are gloriously extravagant.”. 7 Falkner St, Liverpool L8 7PU"
"A bar which also dabbles in tasty bites, Speak in Code is fronting an exclusively vegan menu in Manchester. The space is a café during the day, but by night it transforms itself into a slick bar, rustling up the likes of cauliflower wings, BBQ jackfruit and smart cocktails."
"Mansion is one of Liverpool’s premier nightclubs – and you’d think so too with the dress code “dress to impress”. Busiest on Saturday nights, Mansion mostly caters for house music fans and offers a number of VIP booth options for those looking to celebrate or simply have a secluded area away from the partying crowds."
"As you make your way over you will probably question where this nightclub actually is, down what looks like a questionable alley. But once you get inside you will be transported into a buzzing place to party and spend the night. All of the club is mainly on one floor but there is an upstairs section for VIP’s."
"The bowling lanes and the rooftop of Pin’s Social Club are back!. This bar on Duke Street serves up refreshing carafes of sangria to share but after the year we’ve all had, we don’t blame you if you order one each. Pin’s Social Club will also be serving up stone baked pizzas if you’re in need of a bite to eat and to soak up that sangria."
"Pins rooftop is the perfect place to soak up the sun whilst enjoying a few drinks with your mates. There’s lots of tables, party games and incredible pizza. They are operating walk-ins only so just turn up!"
"The PINS rooftop was made for summer cocktail sipping and wood fired pizzas. There’s plenty of seating and it’s walk in’s only."
"Regarded highly by CAMRA as one of the best local pubs (on numerous occasions, we should add), the Prairie Schooner Taphouse on Flixton Road features a selection of hand-pulled ales and craft kegs on tap. Not only that, but you can also buy a selection of bottled and canned beers from all over the world to take home with you."
"What’s boss about Liverpool’s brewery scene is the sheer scope of it. You’ve got your microbreweries and then you’ve got a renovated rubber factory transformed into an 18,000 hectolitre brewery capable of producing more than three million pints. The latter goes by the name of Love Lane Brewery and houses a family of beers and gins under one roof, designed to keep the city’s rich brewing heritage alive."
"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!"
"About: What could be more fun than rocking out with the kids?. For families who love great music, delicious food and good times the Hard Rock is the go-to restaurant!. This rock'n'roll inspired venue serves up ample portions of authentic American Diner cuisine, with a hearty helping of rock memorabilia and juke box tunes on the side."
"The Rock is home to over 50 stores, a Vue cinema, 24 lane AMF bowling alley as well as cafés and restaurants. With flagship stores Debenhams and M&S plus high street retailers such as Primark, H&M, Topshop, and River Island."
"A Tafford Centre pit stop isn’t the same without some warm topped cookie dough!.

My Cookie Dough also launched a Build Your Own kit which you can have delivered straight to your doorstep containing all the ingredients you need to make enjoy your My Cookie Dough experience at home."
"Taking the humble traybake to new heights, My Cookie Dough is among the best dessert shops in Manchester. Their Slutty Brownie stacks are a mouthwatering mess of chocolate brownie, crushed Oreos and their house cookie mix, served up as chunky slabs and coated in a hefty drizzle of Nutella. With locations at both the Trafford Centre and the Arndale, you won't have to travel far to get your hands on these bad boys."
