GoOutIn Liverpool Recommends

Jacaranda

The Jacaranda is cheap, it's on Slater Street, but something ensures it's a cut above its neighbours. A very laid back and friendly atmosphere where sitting with complete strangers and striking up a conversation is the norm. Strangely charming décor consists of a hotchpotch of posters Read more about Jacaranda

The Albert

As far as bohemian society in Liverpool is concerned, Lark Lane is the place to live and The Albert the pub to drink in. Large, yet cosy with smaller rooms to slouch drunkenly in, it's perfect for spending a whole Sunday/Monday/ Tuesday -hell every day - just loungin'. Populated by bona f Read more about The Albert

Circo

Roll up, roll up: Circo offers stylish entertainment minus creepy clowns/midgets in lycra/depressed tigers. The self-described 'bar, restaurant, freak show' rubs shoulders with the real McCoy, Liverpool's Echo Arena. Decorated with faux (GoOutIn hopes) polar bears, neon signs and sweepi Read more about Circo

Korova

As all Clockwork Orange fans will know, the title of this über-cool bar, club and kitchen literally translates from the Russian as 'cow'. This is no heffer, though, but rather a slim and stylish cockerel, arrogantly lording it over lesser bars. If your hair is spiky and gently mullete... Read more about Korova

Blue Bar

The Blue Bar has made its mark as the city's first private members club for the Scouserati, as well as a fair number of hopeful customers clutching their Usborne Spotter's Guide to Local Celebs. Its basement is also the home of the city's other comedy club, the Laughterhouse, and alth... Read more about Blue Bar

The Lime Kiln (Lloyd's Bar)

The sound of aircraft taking off on Fleet Street can be attributed to the air conditioning in this place, which must surely take the prize of being the biggest pub in Liverpool. It's part of the all-conquering Wetherspoons chain so it can be a wee bit characterless, but that doesn't stop p... Read more about The Lime Kiln (Lloyd's Bar)

Blackburne Arms Hotel

Formerly sordid boozer which has had a Changing Rooms-style makeover, with Laurence and the team putting in some rather tasteful cubbyholes, solid wooden furniture, paved floors and restful prints on the walls. It's now a non-smoking gastro pub, with exotically priced food to patrons with walle... Read more about Blackburne Arms Hotel

Dragon Bar

High class but tiny boozer, with impressive interior decoration that resembles some exotic Eastern ashram, complete with chairs so substantial you can't actually move them. Serves quality local food (Scouse is the speciality), from an ever-bubbling buffet cart, that always seems to hit the spot... Read more about Dragon Bar

Fly in the Loaf

The former Kirklands had a customer-less few years, before finally striking real ale-flavoured gold as an old man's pub. In fact some of the old men who regularly sit and gurn in here look like they've been here for decades. It's possibly the finest traditional boozer in Liverpool, wi...

Slug and Lettuce

Ever wandered into a pub and thought, 'woah, this is way too posh for a scumbag like me'? Believe us, even the Duke of Kent would feel somewhat intimidated by the no–hiding–place open plan surroundings of this multi–mezzanined hangout with its aura of effortless class. It...

Baa Bar

Like someone suffering a particularly traumatic breakup, this hoary old flag-bearer of the modern bar age in Liverpool needs some love and attention. Long before whatever demented lunatic decided to turn Concert Square into Cirrhosis Central, the hilariously punning Baa Bar was the shiny, trendy pla... Read more about Baa Bar
