Any recommendations for craft beer bars?

To be fair mate, there's far too many to mention.  And the list is ever growing.

Liverpool city centre is a proper mecca for real ale drinkers these days. It's probably the best in the country for the density of ale pubs, all within walking distance of each other.

You'd be better checking out the Liverpool Camra site.

Ah brilliant cheers mate, should see me through quite nicely!

Any recommendations for craft beer bars?

Shout out to the place I work in, The Dead Crafty Beer Company on Dale Street.  We've just won best Pub/Bar in Liverpool and our beer range is pretty insane.  It's not Wetherspoons prices, but we've got some absolute killer beers.  Most of the lads behind the bar are reds as well (the owner is a blue sadly, but he's outnumbered).

If you pop in, tell them Ben recommended it to you (I won't be there sadly, on jury service at the moment).

Awesome cheers mate, will pop by.
Any local brews you'd recommend as well?

[TravisBickle]

Anyone got the number for that Ex Directory gaff?

[GOD-9]

Over for Chelsea game next week, anywhere decent in town on a Tues/Wed night ? Been a couple years since I was over midweek. I know it's unlikely to be "busy" as such but Seel St direction still best bet ?

Was in this wee place after the Sunderland game in November, great spot.

Can anyone recommend anywhere this Saturday afternoon to watch the early kick off game Arsenal vs Hull that does craft beer and food in town?

[ToneLa]

Anyone got the number for that Ex Directory gaff?

http://www.ex-directory.co.uk/

Seems to suggest it's 0151 233 2008

[S.Red please]

It's not, it's a secret bar so the website is designed to trick you.

The number is 0151 233 2008.

Lines open between 12-4 I think and even then can be a nightmare getting through but keep trying, that definitely is the number.

Edit: Just realised the original post is from 4 months ago, let's hope he wasn't relying on us two and found it somewhere

Hello,

I’ve been awarded the role of tour guide of an upcoming trip, and would appreciate some pointers. Restaurants/real ale pubs have been ticked off, but now looking for suggestions for

•   “Character” boozers; type day-time karaoke and probably average age on the high side. Little rogue is fine, but not much off a fighter so to speak..
•   Cocktail-bar type of thing;

Group being couples in 40’s; done with flanagans but not film stars/celebrities either ;-)

cheers

[Big Red Richie]

I'm led to believe that Coopers on cases Street, has a lively karaoke. 

It's deffo a pub for older drinkers.

[Medellin]

^^

Not sure if its what your are looking for but the Monro on Duke st sounds a bit like what you're after.

Blob Shop!

[Johnny Foreigner]

Thanks gentlemen. Coopers brings back some memories yes ! Back in ancient times we used to wander up mount pleasant street and see where we ended up. Anyone of those still going ?

[So… Howard Philips]

Including, in the past, a bloke in a Batman suit singing Sinatra.

The Globe next door is a decent old boozer, without karaoke but decent background music.

Plenty of old pubs in the Dale Street area, Rigby's, Lion Tavern (being refurbed at the mo). Worth having a look on the beerintheevening website.

[legendkiller]

I like the globe too , good Guinness and they pour the Guinness right too

If ye into backing Horses , Rileys a good spot . If u want to listen to deluded Bitters then Kozy . UR best bet daytime is Irish House Ranelagh St and the pubs near by during the day . Then stroll down to Mattew St in the evening

[Medellin]

Not one mention of Smokie Mo's 

[Johnny Foreigner]

Smokie Mo - is that the one by st Johns and the taxis ? Looked pretty special !

 The Globe is fucking boss. Probably my favourite Liverpool pub.

He's in Remenis these days

Out on Friday with people from my running club.

"We are off to The Merchant"

It's what was Mello Mello. It's now a fancy dan Gin bar..... sad times

[DanFromMars]

Pogue Mahone is shutting its doors apparently.  What we need is another shitty generic overpriced gentrified club/bar to replace it.

Ah no, really dont mind it in there, IMO one of the best pints of the black stuff you can get in the city.

[Big Red Richie]

Ah. Gonna miss that place.

It was one of the few actual Irish pubs, as apposed to the many plastic Irish pubs in town.

Staffed and run by Irish, always full of Irish, showing wall to wall Irish sports.   Ya gotta love the place.
..... and the Guinness wasn't bad either. 


As said.  No doubt it will be some new gentrified shit, soon enough. 

[ohweloveyerbaldyhead]

Gutted about Pogues. Town is becoming shite now I think, full of posers queuing up for twenty minutes for an overpriced bevvy. Can't remember the last time I properly enjoyed a night out in town, would much rather stay local now.

[Medellin]

Its a shame indeed.
They had a 20 year lease which expired,heres hoping it reopens on another premises eh..

[legendkiller]

Gutted too , always go there for one or two when visiting the City

[Sir Afghan]

Always enjoyed myself in pogues. Are there any proper Irish bars left in town?

[ohweloveyerbaldyhead]

Shenanigans on Tithebarn, best Guiness in the city.

[Sir Afghan]

I was chatting to someone about that place recently, to my shame I've never been in. I'll have to make the effort next time I'm around that bit of town

Does Conor still own or run it?
Cant remember his surname but this was a while back.

It's definitely shite of a night now, I'd much rather go round town in the day and jump the last train home.

Conor & Darragh Mcdonald they still own! great little boozer

Spot on that. That's what we do last trail home as all the knob heard start coming out. Although Sunday night in town is actually ok.

[RyanBabel19]

On a weekend in liverpool celebrating a good friends birthday next weekend

Any recommendations of clubs that play R'n'B and hip hop?

[bobby19]

Over next weekend - any new bars that are worth trying out ?!? Seen the link to the craft beers above which is handy but just wondering if there's anything else ?

[Big Red Richie]

To be honest mate, there's a new one opens up every other week, or so it seems.

It's hard to keep track of them these days.


What are you looking for?

Just looking somewhere with a decent atmosphere which has a good range of beers to chill with a few mates - we are all in our 30s.

Don't wanna go anywhere where I will have to queue for ages to get a drink but don't want to go anywhere that's gonna be empty if that makes sense.
