I’ve been scrolling r/liverpool on Reddit in search of the best cocktail bars in Liverpool, did some digging and these are the places that have made it onto our bucket list:

  1. Hummingbird. Classy. Art deco. Can’t go wrong.

  2. Petite Cafés. Either location is great: Berry St or Lark Lane.

  3. Little Hardware. If you can find the secret entrance.

  4. The Oracle. Mysterious venue with exquisite cocktails.

  5. Berry & Rye. Another secret bar. Small, secluded. Quality drinks.
