Plonked in the middle of the commercial district for work, there was no way I could find my way…read morearound Liverpool on this visit. With this, I let my colleagues decide on the after-work drinking spot; there was nothing I could recommend without the feeling that it was probably a good 30 minute walk away. So, we walked across the road and I was introduced to City Wine Bar, probably one of the only nice looking bars within this area. It's all very rustic, quite small - so I can imagine it being rammed on a Friday - with a really nice atmosphere. Service was a little bit slow, but I took this as an opportunity to take in my surroundings. We had a few glasses of wine, which were very nice for the house choices, and I was told great things about the cocktails and food. If you're in this part of Liverpool for business or pleasure, City Wine Bar is a fine destination.

What can I say about this place apart from you really need to go! The food was absolutely amazing…read moreand I cannot wait to visit it again! The cocktails were fabulous too and oh boy I cannot wait to order one, two or maybe more of those! The staff were so welcoming and friendly and it was simply a joy to visit. Admittedly when I first entered the place I did have my doubts, but as the saying goes, you should never judge a book by it's cover! Although the place could be considered rustic, that in itself has a wonderful charm to it and I seriously advise you to take a trip and visit it! You can either try to park close by on the one way street, although then of course you would miss out on trying any of their wonderful cocktails; I strongly recommend the fabulous City Sunset btw! Or if you wish to have a drink, then Moorfields station is close by (just make sure you exit on Old Hall Street, unlike me!) Honestly though; the friendliness, the food (major congrats to the charming chef btw!) was superb, in fact my starter was almost orgasmic and boy does the food have to be excellent to get me to say that! It is a shame that more people have yet to discover this place and although part of me would love to keep this fabulously wonderful place to myself, it is too incredibly good for me to be so selfish. Therefore get yourself down to Old Hall Street and into this place and enjoy great food and smashing drinks!

I say wonderful, what I mean is the change from a unique place for folk to enjoy a sunny day into a generic city garden, in one way it is a shame, in another it is very pretty...

The Tavern on the Green provides a very nice kicked back setting to just lounge. As I was visiting…read moresome friends in Liverpool, we were in search of an establishment that provided a nice soft ambiance where we can catch up, actually hear each other, and have drinks. The Tavern on the Green provided this setting. It's really a nice place to socialize and a far cry from a typical pub bar, or club you'll find around the area. First impression is upscale wine bar, but it's not. Tavern on the Green rovides a nice balance of bar, lounge, and coffee house which I would assume is dependent upon the time and day.

Solid marble columns push the ornate ceiling high up enough for a sense of monument to be achieved and the grand balcony allows you to imagine decades of sneering bank managers looking snootily down on the customers flocking in. This is a respectable enough bar that stands in a good location for you to explore the oldest areas of Liverpool afterwards. Whether I'd actually want to spend a whole night there is a different question. This is more the place that people kicked out of the neighbouring Liverpool pub will head to first. Still, if you don't mind sitting in massive booths or eavesdropping on girls who think they're WAGs, it can provide a few hours of amusement.

Served with crushed potatoes, chorizo and rosemary stuffing, roasted pepper dressing & basil crisps it was well prepared and cooked nicely indeed. At under £13 it was not bad price wise either for a main. The service was top notch, and I warmed to the aesthetics of the place. Well worth a visit I'd say!!!

'The original downtown cafe'…read more Established in 1974, Tabac is a Liverpool institution that oozes bohemian charm. The walls are painted bright red, there's a flickering neon sign and the staff all look like they've stepped off a Godard film set. In the daytime, Tabac is a sleepy cafe where you can read the papers, sip a cup of java and fill up on healthy breakfast or lunch. It's at night that it truly comes alive however, with local artists, musicians and students conversing over beer, wine and cocktails. Every Monday and Tuesday evening, Tabac host film screenings of world cinema in the back room and on Wednesdays, there's live gypsy jazz. Thursdays to Saturdays, there's a mix of local deejays spinning everything from classic funk, soul and disco to old skool hip hop. The rest of the time, you can expect to hear everyone from Serge Gainsbourg to Arctic Monkeys blasting out of the speakers. The only thing that stops Tabac being the perfect continental coffee shop-cum-bar, is the lack of faded movie stars smoking endless cigarettes!
