| I <3 Liverpool |
This summer I had a chance to spend the night in Liverpool and I had such a good time that I can’t wait to go back. Despite all the stereotypes and labels of Liverpudlians-- I found everyone very welcoming, sincere and fun to watch. The most fun to watch, of course, were all the girls walking around with their hair curlers in. At first, I thought I was seeing the start of some sort of fish wife flash mob, but no- there were loads of them all minding their own business thinking they they looked the shit.
We arrived in the afternoon and decided we would go on a pub crawl. First stop:
Colins Bridewell (no website) - Argyle Street Liverpool, Merseyside L1 5BL
Police Station turned into restaurant and pub. Low key place to get a pint and more importantly they stock one
of my favorite guilty pleasures-- Desperados Beer.
Though I didn't go to the real club (just like the fake Cheers Bar in the Haymarket)--I still had a great time. No cover charge, awesome live bands and people just dancing. It could have been 2 o'clock in the afternoon or 2 o'clock in the morning--people were there to have a good time, enjoy the music and dance.
Dijango Riff - 24 Wood St, Liverpool, L1 4AQ
Bar in the cellar - beware of the Swedish Cider.
Mei mei restaurant (no website) - 9-13 Berry Street Liverpool, Merseyside L1 9DF, United Kingdom
A sight for a sore stomach! Located in Chinatown (the oldest Chinatown in the world outside of China, but there they just say towns). Best Chinese meal-out that I've had this year. We ordered Morning Glory/Water Spinach/On Choy in a Malaysian sauce (shrimp paste with chili). Roasted Duck and Sea Salt, Pepper Ribs and some rice. Everything was delicious and filled the void in my life that Anglo food alone can never completely fill.
The Pilgrim (no website) - 34 Pilgrim Street Liverpool, Merseyside L1 9HB
Colins Bridewell (no website) - Argyle Street Liverpool, Merseyside L1 5BL
The Cavern - Century Buildings, 31 North John Street, Liverpool L2 6RG

Student bar but that's not a bad thing ($!). Hear they have a great English Breakfast but didn't have a chance to try it out.
Fly in Loaf - 13 Hardman Street Liverpool, Merseyside L1 9AS
Bakery turned into a pub. Serves Schneider Weisse at very affordable prices.
The Philharmonic - 36 Hope Street Liverpool, Merseyside L1 9BX
The coolest bar we visited. It was ornate but not stuffy. It was classy but I didn't feel uncomfortable. Very welcoming and an experience.
The Walkabout - Concert Square, 26 Fleet St, Liverpool, L1 4AN
Great for a laugh and watching people dancing their hearts out. Everyone was engaged: (the people you would noramlly have to drag to the dance floor, ugly people, pretty people, old people, young people, etc.) and having a great time.
The Boot Room - Anfield Road, Merseyside, Liverpool L4 0TH
The gastropub next to the Liverpool FC Museum. Nice spot for a drink and a bite after a trip to Anfield. Reminds me of Fenway but without all the backward baseball caps.
