“We simply can’t make a list of the best places for drinking, dancing and being merry in the Merseyside without including the beloved Kasmier beer garden. This effortlessly cool, creative venue is one of Liverpool’s worst kept secrets. Leave the hustle and bustle of the streets, grab a beer and enjoy eclectic live music on the unique split-level staging. Head on over in Summer when the garden parties are in full swing, get festive in the Winter with the twinkling lights and mulled cider, whatever you do, don’t miss it !”

“Beautifully crafted small plates (and some of the best veggie food in Liverpool). Maray was born when a group of friends decided to bring the atmosphere of Paris’s the Marais to Liverpool. Serving small plates inspired by Middle Eastern flavours, this trendy and intimate restaurant takes plant-based cooking to a whole new level. Maray also offers a tantalising selection of meat and fish dishes.”

“Etsu’s not the biggest of restaurants, which is partly what makes it a brilliant place for the type of meal where you actually want to be able to hear your dining partner. Book in advance and secure a table to enjoy health-giving Japanese delights including sushi. Wash it down with Sochu.”

“The Walker Art Gallery hosts some of Europe's best statues and paintings from the 13th century to modern day. It's one of the largest collections in England, outside of London”
