There’s no signage for Berry and Rye, just a slightly battered, nondescript black door that wouldn’t catch the eye if it weren’t for the snaking queue awaiting entry outside. This is arguably Liverpool’s best bar, a speakeasy-style haunt where jazz and blues notes filter through a warm, candlelit gloom. Prohibition is taken seriously – menus, packed with gin and whiskey concoctions, arrive hidden away in bibles, there’s a resident pianist on hand and the cocktails arrive suitable strong, with a complexity not matched anywhere else in the city.

For a liver bird’s view of the famous three graces, head up to Oh Me Oh My’s waterfront rooftop garden and clink fancy glasses overlooking the Mersey. Located high above The Strand in the elegant West Africa House, the classy Goodness Gracious bar offers one of Liverpool’s finest views. Cocktails are floral-touched and free-flowing.
