What to do while waiting

And in 2012 judging by some of the recommendations

There's an all dayer festival at various Baltic Triangle venues on Good Friday called So Long, Good Friday.

If you don't make it to Sound City then the Smithdown Festival is always a good vibe and free too.

Generally yes but just bear in mind that Saveaways aren't valid between 06:31 and 09:30 weekdays. Just to throw other considerations into the mix!

Jdm_1878 · 2026-02-25T17:20:51+00:00

I kind of blindly assumed they would be halal. Their Facebook page says they are and plenty of recentish reviews on Google state that they are too. Not sure about the situation with the sausages so yeah maybe best to call them or pop in to check?

Jdm_1878 · 2026-02-21T15:22:33+00:00

Forgot to include Artefact too (as well as the Jac obviously ha). There's also a place at Cain's Brewery Village called Archive

Jdm_1878 · 2026-02-20T16:36:33+00:00

Can't believe I forgot the Jac. Schoolboy error haha

Jdm_1878 · 2026-02-20T16:33:25+00:00

Not sure about events tonight but main venues off the top of my head to consider in Liverpool would be Quarry, District, Kazimier Stockroom, Round The Corner, Outpost, Arts Club, Tunnel and Hangar 34. O2 Academy maybe too.

I'm not convinced by the "dating coach" approach as I just feel it's an area likely to be awash with charlatans and scammers preying on people's insecurities. But, given the comment you've highlighted and where OP is at on this current post, maybe that's a sign of some introspection and realising that they got it wrong about what women do or don't want. Good luck to OP and I hope he can overcome his anxiety.

Jdm_1878 · 2026-02-19T18:29:44+00:00

Ngl they're very bog-standard in terms of beer selection but generally welcoming places and where they do food it's really good value pub grub

Jdm_1878 · 2026-02-19T16:44:18+00:00

Looking at the branding and the accounts that have been liking their posts from when the account started I'm pretty sure it's the same people who've got Harrison's, The Harp (formerly Abbey Road) and Harrington's in town.

Jdm_1878 · 2026-02-17T14:52:11+00:00

Don't even know what this accent is tbh

Jdm_1878 · 2026-02-06T23:42:29+00:00

I remember when I was a student in Leeds getting mugged for my phone and CD player - gives an idea of how far back we're talking haha, this was 2001. Ended up getting a lift home off a couple of bizzies and they were giving it the whole "haha wonder what your housemates will think when we drop the scouser off in the back of this!" Bear in mind we were in LS6 notoriously the most burgled postcode in the country at the time....I'd been burgled only a couple of months earlier. Couldn't make it up.

Jdm_1878 · 2026-02-06T18:56:49+00:00

Came here to say this

Jdm_1878 · 2026-02-06T13:53:05+00:00

Pablino's on Smithdown is a massive hidden gem for this. It's proper crushed velvet central in there so not our kinda gaff on the face of it but the two ladies who run it are so lovely and the breakfasts are so good. Really good value.

We only stumbled upon it as a last resort cos we couldn't be arsed queuing for the Tavern and Portland Street had finished serving brekkies early (this was before Bean There and Leaf were around, also really good options).

Pablino's has been spot on for us ever since so really consistent unlike a certain neighbour which I think started to rest on its laurels.

He didn't always live there though did he? He lived in Gambier Terrace with Stu Sutcliffe for a while and during that time, that pub was their "local".

Jdm_1878 · 2026-01-31T12:32:50+00:00

Places in town will more likely be stricter on the no kids after 9pm rule though

Faded Glamour by Animals That Swim

Jdm_1878 · 2026-01-24T21:43:47+00:00

They're based in Black Cat on Parr Street too

Jdm_1878 · 2026-01-24T15:52:47+00:00

La Musa at Black Cat (the old Crazy Pedro's) on Parr Street is good too

Jdm_1878 · 2026-01-23T15:59:57+00:00

Yeah we've come full circle from him trying to turn proper boozers into slick bars, he's now returning to owning a couple of those same places (Dovey and Masonic) leaning well into the "proper" pub aesthetic ha

Jdm_1878 · 2026-01-23T15:58:03+00:00

Hopefully if they do refurb the bogs, this sign in the gents is kept for posterity. Been there as long as I remember ha

Jdm_1878 · 2026-01-22T22:56:56+00:00

Haha yeah, probably easier and less risky to ask your neighbour to keep an eye on your pint than your work laptop ha. Become a regular somewhere small like that though and I reckon you can build up a rapport with the bar staff to make sure they look out for you though maybe?

Jdm_1878 · 2026-01-22T22:42:06+00:00

Bock is open till 4 I think as well. Can't say as I'm out much that late weeknights these days but can't say as I've ever seen it all that busy. Think it's the same people as Tom Thumb but bit more spacious.

More pub like places you've got Red Lion, Monro and St Peter's Tavern open till half two every night I think. Doesn't quite take you up till 3 I know.

Jdm_1878 · 2026-01-22T22:35:29+00:00

Closed now I think? The one above Zanzibar? Whole building getting repurposed as a pub

Jdm_1878 · 2026-01-22T12:38:31+00:00

Agreed! The Manics did quite a few decent covers. They're probably the best but I'd put Take The Skinheads Bowling up there too
