Alcotraz Liverpool: Cell Block Three-Six

@ Alcotraz Penitentiary: Liverpool on Various dates from Tuesday 1st April 2025

Alcotraz: Cell Block Three-Six is a quirky cocktail bar in Liverpool's city centre that's inspired by infamous prison stories. Pull on your jumpsuit and avoid the warden's stares as you try to smuggle in booze. Then? You'll sip a range of tasty cocktails made just for you.

Manolo

Taking Bookings

Situated on the corner of Slater Street and Parr Street, Manolo is a sultry speakeasy worth visiting. Head inside this illicit joint, where you'll be able to sit in a cosy corner to enjoy a Caribbean-inspired bevvy, all while groovin' to a backdrop of fantastic live music. Oh, yes.

Overgrown Bar

Taking Bookings

Overgrown Bar takes its name from the gorgeous floral displays found inside the quirky venue, which are topped off with pink neon signs. You'll find this unique spot on Seel Street, serving up cracking cocktails and live DJ sets.

There's a mouthwatering menu on offer here as well, featuring the likes of Cajun wings, halloumi burgers and broccoli cheese fritters. What's more, they serve brunch on weekends too.

The Brunch And Cocktail Club

Taking Bookings

It's named The Brunch And Cocktail Club for a reason - both are exceptional at this Duke Street destination. Fill your boots on chorizo scrambled eggs double beef smash burgers and pulled pork loaded fries, before washing it down with watermelon frose, the mango-infused Lotus Flower and other house concoctions. 

It's not just the food and drink that has people flocking here though, as the interiors are truly gorgeous as well. Think plush green velvet booths, pretty fairy lights and stunning displays of foliage throughout the venue.

Voyagers

Kids Eat Free

Voyagers can be found on Parr Street, offering a cosy, modern dining space to enjoy international flavours. The menu takes inspiration from a wide range of places, featuring delectable sandos filled with salt and pepper chicken, small plates like smoked duck croquettes and tasty brunch dishes such as French toast topped with Greek yoghurt and a berry compote. The cool space fronts plenty of natural light, glossy tiles and an open kitchen - it's a great place to relax with friends or even bring a first date. 

Berry and Rye

Hidden behind an unassuming black door you'll find Berry and Rye, a theatrical speakeasy bar. Hanging lights and rustic flooring give the place a slinky atmosphere, whilst a large drinks menu of gin and whisky concoctions are disguised within old books and bibles. In other words, welcome to your new date night spot.

Heebie Jeebies

A popular student hangout, Heebie Jeebies is your one-stop-shop for drinking and dancing. During the day the Ropewalks bar is a prime place for a sip in the sunshine, with a stunning courtyard and adorable cocktails served in teapots. However, once the sun goes down, twinkly fairy lights sets the mood for a raucous night of shaking and shimmying across their three floors. 

Maray

This small but mighty restaurant has got all your eating and drinking needs covered. Head over to the charming spot where you'll find long communal tables, countertop seating and a kitchen popping out Middle Eastern and Mediterranean plates. When you're done, venture downstairs to the basement bar for an after-dinner drink.

Pilgrim

Take a culinary trip through Spain with an evening at Pilgrim. Created by the winners of the Million Pound Menu, the restaurant's dishes take inspiration from numerous rural villages and towns across Spain. Tuck into a regularly-changing menu of authentic bites, including Galician fillet steak with coal-roasted potatoes and blood orange cake with cinnamon sugar.
