@ Moonshine Saloon on Monday 6th January 2025

Not your usual night out, the Moonshine Saloon Western Cocktail Experience is an immersive event where you'll be dressed head to toe in cowboy-style garments to blend in. Smuggle in your favourite bottle of liquor, making sure to avoid the Sheriff, and watch as the brilliant mixologists whip up four cocktails of your choosing. You'll even get to chat with the locals as you drink, taking part in card games and other entertainment throughout.

From Thursday through to Sunday, Overgrown Bar on Seel Street is the place to be for top-notch cocktails and house music from some of Liverpool's best DJs. The decor here is truly stunnnig, featuring entire walls covered in flowers and quirky neon signs.

They also offer brunch here on weekends, as well as a delicious evening menu. Tuck into everything from breaded garlic mushrooms and halloumi fries to buttermilk chickenburgers or steak and ale pie.

Located on Old Hall Street and disguised as a traditional haberdashery is the unassuming Tailors Liverpool, which, upon entry, you'll soon discover is anything but mundane. The cool drinking den fronts intimate interiors and is famed for its dazzling dry ice-infused cocktails. Perfect for a date night where you're looking to try reimagined classics, it offers you the chance to get your lips around an Elementary Old Fashioned or vodka and cranberry juice-based Sexy Lady. 

Manolo

Cocktail joints don't get slicker than Manolo. Located on Slater Street, this speakeasy-style bar is home to sultry vibes, alongside a crackin' drinks menu. Whether you opt for a traditional mojito, bacon 'n' maple old fashioned or a tropical pina colada, this venue is set to impress.

Rox

Rox has developed something of a reputation for itself, thanks to its cocktail menu full of unique blends and unbelievable flavour combinations. Though modest in size, the sleek and ever-so stylish spot is perfect for a relaxing evening with friends or an intimate date night.

The Oracle

Matching top-notch tipples with a little side of magic, The Oracle is far from your average cocktail bar in the city. Book your spot at the Duke Street speakeasy, where pornstar martinis and old fashioneds are joined by magicians performing all sorts of tricks.

Malbar

Sitting elegantly in Liverpool's Malmaison hotel, Malbar is a gorgeous cocktail den, full of attitude and sultry sophistication. The menu features only the finest spirits in the world, infused with various exotic fruits and potent spices, which are added into bespoke creations.
