Honing their craft
Black Lodge, Kitchen Street
Hidden away in the Baltic Triangle, this micro-brewery, tap house and charcuterie has a varied and changing selection of guest brews on draught for you to catch while you can, as well as Black Lodge’s own concoctions created on-site. Stop off for a swift beverage and bite to eat from Thursday through to Sunday, or kick back and enjoy a film and a craft beer when the venue hosts one of its movie nights.
Hidden haven
The 23 Club, Hope Street
The Clove Hitch has long had a visible presence on Liverpool’s renowned foodie destination of Hope Street, serving food and drinks in its bistro and bustling beer garden.

By name and by nature
