The Brink; Food & Drink Review
It’s no secret that Liverpool is famous for its pubs and clubs, but recently I was lucky enough to have lunch a completely revolutionary venue on the Liverpool food and drink scene – The Brink. It’s Liverpool’s (and Britain’s) first dry bar and cafe, and was set up by Action on Addiction in 2011 to provide a safe and welcoming place to socialise without alcohol. Most of the staff have suffered from alcohol addiction in the past,…

Jacaranda Records Ltd – Cafe/Bar & Vinyl Store
Not living in the city centre anymore it has become one of my goals to visit the recently reopened Jacaranda whenever I’m in town. My first visit was always going to be one of apprehension and nerves. A famous historical venue for the city certainly, but on a personal level it was one of my most frequented haunts as a student. Three floors that all offered something different in terms of a vibe; you could get bottles of Stella…

'Barley & Beans' Cafe & Bar; Review
Barley & Beans is a relaxed and informal place in a quieter area of town. A stone’s throw from Moorfields and the Ship & Mitre (a mighty fine real ale pub), the menu boasts one of the most authoritative breakfast/brunch selections in the city. As the proprietor states, breakfast should not be wasted, confined to the am. Afternoon breakfast should not be the sole domain of the bleary-eyed, hungover student. If you want Eggs Benedict…

Cuthbert’s Bakehouse; Review
It was only the other day I was thinking that there isn’t enough vintage tea shops around, and then I came across a cute little bakery – right in the centre of Mount Pleasant. My friend and I were stunned when we spotted the little bakehouse, expecting a massive colourful sign that shows off and is a bit too much in your face, but instead it was a simple black sign that we almost walked…

Since it opened in 2011 it has led the way in creating a diverse and imaginative dry bar and eatery as well as playing host to up and coming musicians and performers. It has become an integral part of Liverpool’s social scene. We headed down on a sunny Saturday afternoon in need of a sit down and some serious refreshments. Opting for the afternoon tea…

‘Maray’ The Force Be With You; Maray, Bold Street, Review
Your nan would be horrified by Maray- unfinished wooden tables, school chairs, bare concrete floor and pictures on the walls that are definitely NOT horses running through the waves on a beach. Everyone else will love it. It’s kind of ace. Achingly hip but friendly and unsnooty. Seating is mainly one long table through the middle, with some smaller tables towards the back and some bench seating round the sides. There’s a short, sharp lunchtime…

Whilst out and about in Liverpool, any vegan, or even vegetarian, may find it fairly difficult to discover a café or restaurant skilled in this specific meatless cuisine and dietary requirement. However, open 9am-10:30pm on the weekdays and 10am-10:30pm on the weekend, located a stone’s throw away from the central train station and down a quiet street covered in creative street art, The Egg Café can be found behind a rustic entrance and up two flights…

Update August 2022: The Baltic Social is now permanently closed. Do you like shiny, glitzy places? Do you like indifferent service from po-faced staff? Do you like overpriced food that’s style over substance? Yes? Well, you go find somewhere like that, go on, and leave the rest of us to enjoy the lovely Baltic Social. You really wouldn’t like it… Where Elevator used to be, on Parliament Street it’s a great space with stripped wooden…
