Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Penare

"This laid-back Piccadilly street food favourite has canteen and booth-style seating, and bespoke artwork nodding to Manchester’s industrial heritage. The informal menu is entirely vegetarian: think spiced okra fries, or bundo chaat, a delightful mixture of crunchy samosa pastry, chickpeas, tamarind chutney and turmeric noodles. An excellent beer list showcases local breweries."

"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."

"Set in the elegant Georgian Quarter of Liverpool, this street-side bistro has a European vibe reminiscent of Parisian cafes and Italian coffee shops – perfect for a lazy Sunday morning brunch. Located on Falkner Street, The Quarter offers all the classic hot brunch dishes you’d expect, but adds their ‘Usuals’ to the list – why not try banana on toast with peanut butter or ‘Eggs on fire’ (sriracha scrambled eggs with cream cheese on a brioche bun)?. With a backdrop of stunning buildings, this is a Instagram-friendly brunching spot near the University area of the city, making it ideal for students looking to show their parents the highlights of the city when they visit."

"Family-run deli-restaurant The Quarter offers breakfast, lunch and dinner and they even do home deliveries. So there’s really no excuse for not trying out this Italian restaurant. You’ll almost certainly be able to smell the delicious food from The Quarter before you see it as they also offer a range of fresh homemade bread and pastries to buy."

"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."

"Another Albert Dock favourite Gusto has confirmed its plans to reopen next month. In a post on Instagram, the restaurant, which specialises in fresh food made from scratch, said: "All being well, it’s officially one month until we open our outdoor dining areas in Liverpool & Cheadle Hulme. We can't tell you how excited we are to serve you your Gusto favourites once again. "Have you booked your table yet?"

"GUSTO on the Albert Dock and on Telegraph Road in Heswall also run offers for people in their dining club. You can sign up to the dining club on the website here and it will give you special offers. The restaurant also runs offers for those not in the dining club, which has previously included a two course lunch menu from £13.95 and a two course evening menu from £16.95."

"Gusto on the Royal Albert Dock is a great place for a special evening out taking in one of Liverpool’s most famous landmarks with a bowl of pasta. Their menu is mouthwatering but they recommend trying the Milanese Saffron Risotto, which we agree, sounds amazing. View this post on Instagram"

"If you love The Beatles and find yourself down in their spiritual home on Mathew Street, then check out the new Revolver bar on Temple Court. Owned by the group behind the Rubber Soul complex, it’s got plenty of nice Beatles touches including lots of very cool artwork on the walls. Live music kicks off at 5pm daily and there’s no bookings, just walk-ins."

"We can’t really make a list of the best pubs in Liverpool without featuring one of the most famous clubs in the world, can we?. In 1957 the Cavern Club opened its doors on Mathew Street, and it didn’t take long until rock ‘n’ roll took over!. From the Beatles to Oasis to Stevie Wonder, musical legends have won crowds over at this funky little venue."

"You can't come to Liverpool without heading to Mathew Street to see the famous Cavern Club. Either stand in front of the legendary sign to grab your picture or head down into the basement to recreate the swinging 60s. View this post on Instagram"

"Less of a destination than when GRUB ran its street-food events here, this newly revamped brewery-tap (out goes communal seating in comes heaters) remains an essential stop-off on any Manchester crawl; if only to try Alphabet’s oatmeal-spiked pale ale, A To The K. In the warren of railway arch units around Piccadilly station, the brewery is jazzily decorated with the fever-dream graphic art that designer Nick Hamilton creates for Alphabet’s, at times, equally out-there beers (for example, Carry On Crampus cranberry bock; You’re So Vain salted caramel imperial stout). Alphabet has recently gone down the no-pints, card-only route. Two-third schooners are now its largest serve."

"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."

"Original use: Many regard Speke Hall, a beautiful Tudor manor house, as one of the finest surviving Liverpool buildings of its kind. The hall was originally created for the Norris family, who owned the property for many generations. Construction began on the wood-framed manor house in 1530, with some buildings on the site built even earlier and incorporated into the property."

"A marvellous example of an Elizabethan half-timbered hall, Speke Hall is filled with gorgeously timbered and plastered rooms. The house contains several 'priest's holes', where the hall's sympathetic owners hid... Cultural Centre in Liverpool"

"A wonderful example of a Tudor Manor House now managed by the National Trust. The hedge maze and two playgrounds are perennial favourites. The woodland trail is fantastic with its zip line."

"Discover the fascinating history of Adlington Hall as you tour The Great Hall, the chapel, oak-panelled dining room, the Minstrel’s Gallery, the number 10 bedroom, and more. Alongside the Great Organ, visitors can enjoy the original furniture, paintings, and décor of the building, or wander the gardens, attempt the maze, or enjoy a slice of homemade cake and a cup of tea in the tea room. I Opening Times: Public open days run on Sundays and Bank Holidays during April and September."

"A tremendous mixture of styles, Adlington Hall was founded at the end of the 15th century and then reworked in the 18th century. So while the north and east facades have romantic black and white timber framing the south and west wings are brick built, with a solemn Palladian portico. Adlington is hired out for weddings, but on Sundays between April and October the house and gardens are open to visitors."

"Choose from fresh-baked scones, clotted cream, strawberry jam, savouries, immaculate sandwiches and pastries. All served with exquisite teas or coffees."

"What: Decked out mostly in reclaimed wood, this vibrant Manchester café is the go-to spot for Mancunians looking for super-friendly service and an excellent cup of Joe. This independent coffee specialist also sells prints, cards and gifts, and is child- and dog-friendly, so you can take the whole family with you for breakfast, a hot drink and slice of cake or a hearty salad. Window seats and outside seating allow for people-watching as you take a moment in convivial surrounds, either by yourself or with friends, while a range of food and drink options allow for varying dietary requirements."

"Half hip café, half hip design store, Fig + Sparrow may have only been around for a few years compared to the Northern Quarter heavyweights that surround it, but it’s one of Oldham Street’s most beloved stores. In summer, the crowded outdoor tables may lull you into thinking that it is simply a café, but inside you will discover a myriad of carefully selected items for your home or for gifts. It’s also one of the best places in the area to find greetings cards and wrapping paper."

"Half coffee shop, half homewares, all stunning - Fig and Sparrow is a dainty café with design as beautiful as the latte art. From their tiny bar they serve an impressive range of coffees and teas. Flat whites are always meticulous, and it’s worth dipping your beak into their pour-over range."

"Driven by a ferocious passion for all things Italian, Wolf can’t wait to welcome you back to the pack, with a spacious heated outdoor terrace with retractable roof available to sit at (no booking necessary). Takeaway orders can be made either in-store, through the Wolf app, or online via Deliveroo and UberEats. Open 10am – 3pm every Monday – Friday, we can’t wait to sink our teeth into something special from Wolf again."

"A Tafford Centre pit stop isn’t the same without some warm topped cookie dough!. My Cookie Dough has reopened at the shopping centre – returning with a large list of flavours to try from Red Velvet to Fudge & Honeycomb (which you can customise by adding your own choice of toppings and ice cream). 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."

"My Cookie Dough has a seriously committed following, judging by the crowds at its Manchester Arndale stall (it recently opened another at the Trafford Centre too). Big dollops of dough are baked until warm and crispy, but still soft enough to dip into with a spoon, then loaded with various sauces and toppings. Indulgent flavours include red velvet and Nutella, white chocolate and raspberry, Oreo, fudge and honeycomb, Biscoff, and coconut chocolate."

"🍰 Seriously gooey hot cookie dough, with tons of topping options to choose from including Nutella, Biscoff, Red Velvet, Kinder and even Strawberry Cheesecake."
