Hidden gem alert: perfect for chilling, a cheeky date, or just because you deserve a classy night. Chic, vibey, with tunes that hit—Liverpool’s go-to in my book.

Stylish and friendly, if a tad quiet! We were the only customers, which was a little weird but not to spoil our enjoyment of the drinks and the friendliness and knowledge of the staff.

Visited last Friday evening and it was the perfect spot if you’re looking for drinks in the city centre of a weekend that isn’t just full of students partying. Very attentive staff and a great drinks menu.
