Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Cresswell Close

"This Indian eatery first opened in Leeds but has now expanded to become a chain of three, including one branch located in Manchester’s Piccadilly. Hidden down a set of stairs in a basement off an unassuming city centre street, this place might be hard to find, but it’s worth searching for. Most dishes are vegan, including the newly launched for 2020 vada pav burger, which consists of a deep-fried mashed potato ball, red and green chutneys and deep-fried (spicy) green chilli, all in a vegan-friendly bun."

"One for the vegans here, Bundobust is the perfect example of proving that you don't need meat to pack a punch. With a proper fast-food feel, despite being able to eat in at their Piccadilly location, each time those lovely little pots are plonked in front of you is just as exciting at the last. The tarka dhal is to die for, their food has a real grab-and-go feel to it and it's very reasonably priced considering the amount of flavour you get out of each dish."

"Indian street-food specialists Bundobust have ventured across The Pennines to open this spacious Piccadilly branch. Inside, seating is canteen-style with the enticing menu of snacks and sharing plates being equally informal, and entirely vegetarian too."

"The Quarter on Falkner Square offers the littles ones a whole menu for themselves. They can choose from a selection of pastas and pizzas with ice cream for dessert, all for £6.50. There is even a children’s breakfast menu for if you’re looking for somewhere to eat in the morning."

Budding musicians can even sign up for lessons at the Cavern Rock School, with the chance to take part in a yearly showcase on the famous stage of the Cavern Club itself."

"We can’t really make a list of the best pubs in Liverpool without featuring one of the most famous clubs in the world, can we?. In 1957 the Cavern Club opened its doors on Mathew Street, and it didn’t take long until rock ‘n’ roll took over!. From the Beatles to Oasis to Stevie Wonder, musical legends have won crowds over at this funky little venue."

"This place makes “comfort food” (as they put it) about as classy as you could want it, and trust us, when that burge and chips comes on your plate it’ll look more Heston Blumenthal than Weatherspoons, because they put some serious effort into making their “comfort food” the very best it can be. What’s more important is that their outdoor seating is incredibly scenic, making it an ideal place for you to rock up with a few friends, chew the fat and sink some drinks. They also do roasts and clever cocktails, welcome parties with kids, and are situated right by Liverpool One."

"The Club House offers a varied menu selection including vegetarian meals for people under a special diet. A place where you can enjoy delicious dishes and fine tasting spirits.

For those who want to fill up for the night, burgers come in at less than a tenner, too."

"How many chicken wings do you reckon you could eat in one sitting?. Head to Bunny Jacksons and you might just find out. Located in an up-and-coming area just by Oxford Road, this First Street dive bar made waves when it announced it was offering all-you-can eat 10p wings."
