Liverpool's Gin Bars 🍸
"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."
"A great choice for Indian street food and craft beers, Bundobust never disappoints. Think okra fries, bhaji butties and paneer tikka washed down with drinks from natural wines and IPAs to quirky cocktails."
"A garden oasis nestled in Hardman Square, book a table for up to six guests (subject to availability) for the beautiful covered and heated ground floor terrace at The Ivy Spinningfields from 12 April and watch the world go by as you savour their seasonal specials and show-stopping serves. In addition, indoor reservations for the brasserie, roof terrace and glamorous late-night restaurant and bar, Ivy Asia, will be available from 17 May."
"The Ivy Spinningfields in Manchester is a multi-faceted venue, offering several floors of beautiful settings and tasty food and drinks. Apart from ground floor Ivy Brasserie and second floor Ivy Asia, the true gem is found at the very top, with the Ivy Roof Garden. Very colorful and very lush, the spacious rooftop really deserves its 'garden' epithet."
"From the decadent jade floor to the mouthwatering menu, The Ivy's Asian restaurant is bringing you a real taste from the East. Expect dishes from 'raw & cured' to 'dumplings & bao' paired with a huge selection of wines and a carefully curated cocktail menu."
"Find Down The Hatch in a trendy basement on Duke Street, with vegetarian and vegan junk food – including ‘chicken’ wings, loaded fries, and vegan ‘bratwurst’ – that will prove plant-based doesn't always have to mean healthy salads. The restaurant loves dogs as much as you do, with its favourite four-legged visitors often featuring on its Instagram page so make sure your pup is feeling photogenic, just in case!. Basement, 62 Duke Street, L1 5AA"
"When it comes to meat-free dining in Liverpool, this lot have reached legendary status. Although DTH will be closing its doors in January as we navigate yet another national lockdown, fear not: you can still get your fix delivered to your door. In honour of Veganuary, they’ve added an exclusive meal deal to their Deliveroo platform: any burger and chips, plus a side and drink for £16."
"The plant based junk food establishment offers everything from dirty burgers to loaded fries and plenty of indulgent sides too. View this post on Instagram. A post shared by DownTheHatchLIV (@downthehatchliv)"
"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 Toxteth Riviera is always a gorgeous place to be, any time of the year, and now thanks to The Quarter on Falkner Street you can stay warm while you make the most of it. Those outside tables are some of the most sought-after in the city, so be lucky and grab one and heaters mean you’ll be toasty while you eat and drink."
"Whilst being renowned for its food, the venue is understated for its romance. The Quarter brings the best of Europe together; the road looks like something out of Amsterdam, the decor is reminiscent of Paris and the food is Italian inspired. It doesn’t get much more continental than that."
"The Merchant’s speciality is Liverpool’s favourite: a gin & tonic. Pick from a mix of flavours and garnishes to make your night at The Merchant one of the best. The Merchant isn’t only a one of the most fabulous cocktail bars Liverpool offers, but it is also home to some of the best events and quiz nights in the city."
"The hidden gem of a bar on Slater Street is a great place to grab a selfie. Either sit amongst the leafy bar, head into the adjoining Nightcrawler Pizza for an NYC inspired shot or even go down into the toilets for a photo with the popular ‘Wish you were here’ sign. View this post on Instagram"
"On the corner of Slater Street you will find one of the coolest gin bars around. The Merchant has a large gin menu that you can enjoy indoors or outdoors in the secret garden. To top it off they have Nightcrawler pizza serving up New York style slices for a snack to go with your gin."
"Abode Chester, Grosvenor Rd,, Chester, Cheshire, CH1 2DJ - Visit now. Abode Chester offers unique and stylish accommodation in the heart of the city, close to England’s oldest working racecourse."
"This contemporary hotel sits within Chester’s famous city walls, with the equally famous racecourse just across the road. It offers smart, modern rooms, a good choice of places to eat and drink, and has all the main attractions close to hand."
"If you’re looking to convert a meat-loving mate to the vegan lifestyle, take them to The Allotment. Originally located in Stockport, this award-winning venue now sits in Manchester’s city centre and proves just how good vegan food can be. Browse the à la carte menu, and you’ll find ‘fish’ and chips or rhubarb and lentil stew, or pop by on a Sunday for the delicious vegetarian roast."
"Vegan fine dining arrived in the city centre in late 2018 after Allotment in Stockport’s astonishing reviews and flurry of awards prompted them to move. The locally sourced food in this tasteful restaurant is the type of experience that would make the most hardened meat-eater’s taste buds pop. If you’re feeling adventurous, treat yourself to the ten-course taster."
"Drop your anchor in The Smugglers Cove for some pirate-themed fun in one of the quirkiest restaurants in Liverpool. With vintage knick-knacks and over 150 bottles of rum, it's impossible not to have fun in this venue. All you have to do is tuck into their delicious range of grilled meats and seafood and you are sorted, matey."
"Dine in this Pirates paradies at the Royal Albert Dock on your next visit into Liverpool. Boasting a selection of 141 rums, 80 beers, an extensive wine list, unique cocktails and incredible food menu you’ll have an amazing experience down at Smuggler’s Cove. View this post on Instagram"
