Simply electrifying…read more.. Packed yet an amazing atmosphere, I think everyone in Liverpool is here lol, it's definitely the place to kick off the night!

Having to provide photo ID, that is scanned and saved on file, seems a bit OTT to buy a pint…read more I guess it stops under 18s getting in. It also stopped a wedding party getting in, 2 senior citizens and 2 lads who must have been 40. But they did let in a lady who was so so very drunk she needed help up the steps, was pole dancing on a pillar and generslly falling over. But she did have photo ID so it's clearly fine. Afterasll, Policy is Policy! The decor inside is fine. The outside courtyard area curiously reminds me of a village train station platform.

Popped into The Alchemist while walking and exploring Liverpool and it did not disappoint. From…read morelight bites to a full menu, to non alcoholic and alcoholic drinks, there was truly something for everyone. And wow, the drinks were quite the experience. The oyster aperitif shots came in a real oyster shell and were filled with mini popper boba balls. The color changing drinks were smoking and filled with nitrogen ice. The non-alcoholic drink even came with a lollipop and would be perfect for any age. The drinks were delicious and definitely drank way too quickly. The service and waitress could not have been more welcoming, fun, and hospitable. Definitely put the Alchemist on your list when traveling to the UK. With many locations, you can expect a fun drink and an even better experience all throughout the country.

Cracking find! Never been in this pub before (formally the lamb) as outside doesnt look so…read moreappealing just brickwork but WOW once inside its liking going into a different world. Really quaint and some lovely features and touches (real fire, piano,seperate bar and lounge) Think the staff said they do 25 draught beers and real ale and cider, one was erdinger a german wheat beer..unusual. Amazing prices too on beer and food cheaper than weatherspoons. A place for couples or friends but they dont allow children (which is fine with me as its a cozy small place) If you havent tried it do give it a go, I will be back for sure in fact going tomorrow

The Arkles is a warm, lively and welcoming 'Sports Bar' that is, in essence, a shrine to Liverpool…read moreFootball Club. The public house sits on the famous Anfield Road and is in spitting distance of the home of The Reds, meaning on home match days throughout the season the venue is packed full of Liverpool supporters. This said, the great atmosphere means away supporters are welcomed - not with opened arms but more a nod of awareness. Dotted around the venue are a number of plazma televisions that screen match after match after match and when there aren't any matches on, are usually tuned, predictably, to Liverpool TV. The staff are friendly and talkative and make your visit to what is billed as 'The World Famous Arkles' a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Jacaranda is a record store inside a bar, or upstairs from a bar, depending on how you look at it…read more Either way, I always think this is an interesting concept and a fun way to combine experiences. The record store is on the small side - don't expect to find any deep cuts. On the other hand, they had multiple genres represented and the size of the hip hop and indie sections were quite large for the space. I didn't have a need to interact with the staff but appreciated the hands off approach (I don't like to be pestered when I go in a record shop.) So pop in if you're in the area--maybe you'll luck out!

Also known as The Jack, this is yet another of those pubs in Liverpool that lays claim to links…read morewith The Beatles. Full of memorabilia and nostalgia, this is a nice chilled pub both day and night. It consists of a basement, ground floor and upstairs, none of which are particularly spacious, but it's one of those places that no one minds rubbing shoulders with the next person. There's not a massive choice of drinks, but enough to cater for everyone. The music ranges from 60s onwards, and there is a jukebox that everyone seems to make use of, as well as some old fashioned sweet and nut machines - 20p for a handful of pistachios and then you can cause murder throwing the shells at people! Not somewhere for a lively night out, but at the same time, not always the best place for a quiet chat, especially as they tend to have the music quite loud. Still, if you want your Beatles fix and you're nowhere near Mathew Street or the docks, this is a good alternative.

We visited in the day, I expect it's better during the evening if you've got your beer goggles on!…read moreTables were sticky, outside was minging...enough said

Good old Alma, been around for a while and still hasn't gotten any less pretentious. Don't get me…read morewrong, I love the actual place, its just the general clientele on Friday and Saturday nights that puts me off. For example, the last time I was there I was on a cocktail night with a group of girlfriends I hadn't seen for a while, and we were waiting patiently at a crowded bar at around midnight on a Friday. Next thing, this mid-to-late-30s guy cut between me and my friend as if trying to get through the crowd. The people around him attempted to give him some space, at which point he immediately elbowed his way to the front of the bar. He then leaned over the bar and thrust a wrinkled fiver in the hand of the nearest barman and said "I'm being served next". The barman attempted to explain that there were various other groups of people who had been waiting, and continued to serve the group he was with. And then he served this idiot. At this point, everyone around started tutting and I suggested in an undertone that we all tip our multi-coloured cocktails over his pristine white shirt. He is the reason I don't go to Alma on a weekend. Having said that, the decor is amazing, as it is an old church that has retained its altar and structure, but been glammed up with antler chandeliers and candles and dark and glamorous furniture. The cocktails are lovely if not a little pricey (mostly over £5 for the simplest) and the music is eclectic. There is also a restaurant upstairs which serves the standard small-servings-nicely-arranged-on-large-plates type food, and if you get there at the right time there is confetti thrown from the balconies and Cuban dancing girls entertaining everyone. On a weekday it is quieter and nicer and you don't feel so bad for not wearing the latest fashion trends. You can also see the bar from where you are sat. Overall, it's definitely somewhere I would recommend if you have never been, but only if you have the patience of a saint on a weekend!

If you've got a few hours to kill at the airport before your plane drives cloudwards or, as was the…read morecase with me, you're seconds away from it flying off and leaving you stranded, have a pint at the Wetherspoons pub past the security check. The prices of this dark pub seem to be based on adding all holiday prices together and if the cost of your drink ends with 99p, you can expect the barmaid to just keep the penny without asking. Even though I'm off on holiday and have no need for one stirling penny, I still want the damn thing. It's the principle. I also don't like the idea of taking my belt off and shoving my belongings through an x-ray machine just to drink. Yes, that's the exact reason they made me do that.
