Liverpool's Hidden Gems

[Captain Turdseye]

Any decent pubs open late (1am) in town?

 

I'm going to be at a loose end on Thursday night & could do with somewhere to go for a pint after the sporting festivities are done with.

Not sure if they still do it but if they do you should check out the student night at the Superstar Boudoir, mate. You'll enjoy it in there. Thursday's used to be all you can drink for £9.99.

And don't let the bouncers in drag put you off the Boudoir mate.

So you're telling me they're not real women?

No mate, but I can see why you thought they were with you coming from Runcorn an' all.

Bacaro on castle street is worth a visit. Boss grub. Really good laid back atmosphere, good music.

hardly a hidden gem, but the aloft hotel on North John Street is pretty cool, and about half the price of the Hard Day's Night. The rooms are fab.  If you're travelling up/down/across for the match and staying over, I'd defo recommend it.  Try and get a room on the 5th floor if you can - the views are pretty impressive.

What is that new Shankly hotel like?

dunno mate - I plan on giving it a go sometime this season.  Doesn't look much from the outside.

I wouldn't mind having a nose at the memorabilia. I've never been to the museum at the ground or done the tour, which is daft really.

Bring your curtains with you Tony they might put them up lad.

Another place worth a (re) visit is the central library.  Brilliant design of the new interior and a great refurb of the old reading room.  I'll put some pictures up when I get a chance.

It's good for a drink with birds as well, not cheap but pleasant, plenty of room and ambience and all that fucking shite. Seems to be a bit undiscovered.

Reds True BBQ is opening on Hanover Street next month.

Milo's on Lark Lane.

 

Great if you have kids, very child friendly, good staff, food is great and drinks not OTT

Part of the same group as Brasco at Mann Island, which is great, as long as you're not in a rush.

Let me know when you've got a semi...

There are plans afoot to bring Lister Library (one of the Andrew Carnegie libraries) back into use.  Here's a photo of it as it is today.

Would make an awesome Berlin-inspired rave venue

And so we bid farewell to Liverpool Small Cinema, which closed at the end of April as the building in which it was housed was put up for sale for redevelopment.

 

 

 

Whilst the Victoria Street venue is closing, the future of cinema in Liverpool remains bright. There are now more film events happening across the city than ever before, and indeed the programmers and volunteers involved in the project will be continuing to develop film events across the city in the near future, thanks to a BFI Neighbourhood Cinema award for new equipment, whilst on May 6th and 7th, volunteers Chris, Stef, Laura and Ben will be popping up at the Handyman Supermarket, 461 Smithdown Rd with their new and exciting Empty Spaces Cinema initiative with an amazing line up of films for cult film fans, families and local audiences.

 

Empty Spaces Cinema sounds like an intriguing idea, albeit the website doesn't seem to have much in the way of information of plans as of yet.

Looks Ok.

That's the two person one.

 

The four person one is a death sentence.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

It says it's the 4 person one, although the photo's are the same for 2/4 so I'll take your word for it mate. Far too much for two people like, although I know a few greedy bastards who'd polish it off by themselves.

Hope this finds you well Tony.

 

It was shite mate. When me and the Mrs were back home we stayed there and were massively under-impressed. I'm genuinely pretty easy-going about stuff but it took ages to check in, management couldn't really give a fuck, and the rooms were shit as well. I'd never go back there, especially when there's much better and cheaper available.

Anyone after a cracking curry get yourself to the Holdi in Woolton Village, Istanbul too, a Turkish place just over the road. 

 

Going to Christakis tomorrow on Smithdown for some Greek food, band and belly dancing - top drawer! The lads in there are ace and you always get a good feed.
