Find out more and book here."

"Home to the Ginsmiths of Liverpool, head down to Love Lane Brewery in the Baltic Triangle to sample some of the finest gin around. Choose from a Dry Gin, Merchant Navy Gin, Marshmallow Gin or a range of cocktails in the huge venue. They also do distillery tours so you can see how the gin gets made in house!"

"If you care about craft beer, you care about the process of it being made.

"The Liverpool brewery has helped get us through the past few months with their beer deliveries but nothing quite beats a refreshing pint of craft beer out in the sunshine. Black Lodge Brewery is back pulling pints, plus they’ll be serving some damn good burgers and buffalo wings too. Black Lodge Brewery, 3 Kings Dock Street, L1 8JU"

"Some of the brains behind Liverpool Craft Beer, The 23 Club and Camp and Furnace have joined forces to brew, bottle and pour some of the best and most intriguing beers the city has ever seen. Ask for the Raspberry Berliner Weisse."

"I know this list is based around what and where to eat in Liverpool, but I thought I’d mention this just because of how popular it is. Pretty much everywhere you go these days you can find somewhere selling craft beer, and Liverpool’s not really any different. We’ve got lots of places for a good drink, but the Cains Brewery seems to be the favorite of just about everyone in Liverpool at the minute."

"It's one of the most up-and-coming areas in the city and it's easy to see why when you wander around. There is a whole host of new bars, pubs and venues open across the village which was once derelict for many years. On a hot day, all the venues put out seating outside, including the Peaky Blinders bar and the Baltic Market."

"Another must-visit in the Cains Brewery Village, this alehouse is the very definition of a hidden gem. The Brewery Tap was bought by Mikhail Hotel, who wanted ‘in’ on the bright future of the happening brewery village. It’s the perfect place to head for a hoppy pale ale."

"With special guest DJ’s and an exclusive club atmosphere, Kingdom is where everyone’s at on a Saturday night out in Liverpool. You and your party can enjoy all the spoils of clubbing royalty including cocktail trees, live sax and a very late night/early morning dancing the night away. Book VIP booths get yourself on the guest list and be prepared to enjoy a mind-blowing club night unlike any other at Kingdom."

Always hosting different fun events, there certainly is never a dull moment inside this nightclub."

"Veggie Republic aims to show vegetarians and meat eaters that anything can be veganised and taste amazing, with a variety of options including vegan junk food and comfort food to raw vegan dishes, catering for every vegan style of eating including gluten free vegan dishes. On our recent visit we tried the vegan seitan kebab served with naan bread, salad and fries which was fantastic and there’s so many items on the menu that we can’t wait ti go back and try. Veggie Republic is a bit of a hidden gem on Cook Street, but we urge you to give it a try."

"Aiming to to show that literally anything can be veganised and still taste good, Veggie Republic offers a vegan menu with meat-free substitutes for roast dinners, burgers, pizza, and pasta as well as raw vegan options."

"What to expect: A vegetarian and vegan cafe in Liverpool with a bohemian atmosphere. Arguably the most established of vegetarian restaurants in Liverpool, The Egg Cafe is a go-to spot for those who love hearty veggie and vegan food with a homemade feel. The bohemian hideout can be found in a cosy loft space, perfect for a bite to eat at lunch or a spotlit dinner."

"The Egg Cafe can be found just off Bold Street on Newington Street. Not only is it one of Liverpool’s premier vegetarian and vegan restaurants (they did vegan before it was hipster), it is also in a beautiful airy loft space of an old Victorian warehouse building. It also offers fabulous views of the city centre."

"Just a block down the street from the mighty North Tea Power, and a few steps along Oldham Street from its junction with Church Street, is relative newcomer to Manchester’s coffee scene, Fig + Sparrow. Established in 2013, it’s half life-style shop, half café, but 100% excellent. Serving an espresso-based menu using beans from London’s Climpson and Sons, with guest filters on Aeropress and Chemex, plus loose-leaf tea from Newcastle’s Ringtons, Fig + Sparrow also does food."

"A coffee shop located in Manchester’s hipster northern quarter and contender for the city’s best latte art is Fig and Sparrow. What makes this charming coffee shop stand out is its local produce, sourcing everything from coffee beans to salad leaves from local producers in a bid to reduce its carbon footprint. For this reason, the salad-based menu is rather small, but always delicious."

"Half coffee shop, half homewares, all stunning - Fig and Sparrow is a dainty café with design as beautiful as the latte art. From their tiny bar they serve an impressive range of coffees and teas. Flat whites are always meticulous, and it’s worth dipping your beak into their pour-over range."
